clearing any other weather variables or clearing all weather variables in
the console.
3. Congratulations! You have completed the upgrade and can now enjoy your
daytime fan-aspirated radiation shield.
Maintenance
• Keep the surfaces of the ISS clean, since the radiation shield and solar panel
are less effective when dirty. Remove dust from the solar panel and radia-
tion shield with a damp cloth.
• Remove any debris obstructing air flow through the radiation shield such as
leaves, twigs, webs, and nests.
• Do not spray the ISS with insecticides of any kind. Some insecticides can
damage the sensors and even damage the radiation shield.
Annual Maintenance
We recommend cleaning out any debris that may have accumulated inside the
radiation shield and replacing the motor (# 7758) on an as needed basis. The
routine procedures for annual maintenance include:
1. Remove your fan-aspirated ISS and place on a stable work surface.
2. Check to see if the fan motor is still working. If it is not running, replace
the motor with a new motor (# 7758).
3. Disassemble the radiation shield.
4. Remove any debris lodged inside the unit.
5. Clean the surfaces of the radiation shield with a damp cloth.
6. Assemble the radiation shield.
7. Re-install the ISS in its previous location.
