A power washer?

A brush?

A meter?

A manual supplied by the manufacturer/installer of the lightning arrestors?

I have the complete hard-bound version on my bookshelf from when we used to be the local agent.

To my knowledge they don't give these guides out lightly because they cover all the good lightning design and selection information (I haven't seen a CD version).

No one's taking my book.

I'm only familiar with the types used on RF transmission lines. There are two types, one has a replaceable element, the other is reusable. The only maintenance, I'm familiar with is to open the connections and verify they are not corroded. Follow manufactures instruction on the unit with a replaceable element.

A rag for ground-mount arrestors, a water blaster for aerial.
