1
. Keep the equipment clean by frequently fl ushing with fresh water. In corrosive
atmospheres stainless parts may show discoloration/brown staining around screw
holes and rivets, this is not serious and can be removed with a fi ne abrasive.
2
. Excess water should be removed from the hull.
3
. Ropes, rigging and fi ttings should be checked at regular intervals for wear and tear.
4
. All moving parts should be lightly lubricated to avoid jamming, i.e., McLube, Dry Tefl on
or a dry silicone based spray. Do not use oil.
5
. Inspect all shackles to ensure they are tight. (Pliers should be used for this operation).
6
. Damaged or worn parts should be replaced.
7
. Sails should be thoroughly washed down with fresh water, dried and stored in a dry place.
8
. Trailers and launching trollies should be rinsed with fresh water and checked at regular
intervals. It is recommended that trailers be serviced annually.
9
. Repairs to the polyethylene hull should be undertaken only by those with the relevant
equipment and skills. Contact LaserPerformance for advice.
10
. UV light will cause fading to some components and fi ttings, a waterproof/breathable
cover is recommended to reduce UV degradation.
11. Do not leave the rig under tension when not sailing or during storage.
12. Your Bug should only be used in conjunction with the Bug specifi c LaserPerfor-
mance launching trolley. Th
e use of any other launching trolley may damage the hull
and invalidate your warranty.
13. Th
e hull should NOT be left on a pebble beach, as the polyethylene could dent.
14. Care must be taken to support the hull adequately if storing on racking or in a
similar manner. Any sustained point loading could permanently dent or distort the
hull.
