Cleaning & Protecting

The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. The benefit of this rust preventative is that it works very well. The downside is that it can be time-consuming to thoroughly remove.

Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning and removing the rust preventative. The time you spend doing this will reward you with smooth-sliding parts and a better appreciation for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces.

Although there are many ways to successfully remove the rust preventative, we have cleaned thousands of machines and found the following process to be the best balance between efficiency and minimized exposure to toxic fumes or chemicals.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

ss $ISPOSABLE rags

ss#LEANERDEGREASER (certain citrus-based

degreasers work extremely well and they have non-toxic fumes)

ss 3AFETY GLASSES  DISPOSABLESGLOVES

Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or 7$ssCANBE USEDNTO REMOVEURUST PREVENTATIVE

Before using these products, though, test them on an inconspicuous area of a painted area to make sure they will not damage it.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used for cleaning. Avoid using these products to remove rust preventative.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1.Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

2.#OAT ALL SURFACES THAT HAVEARUST PREVENTATIVE with a liberal amount of your cleaner or degreaser and let them soak for a few minutes.

3.Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily.

Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative on flat surfaces, such as beds or tables, use

AA0,!34)#!PAINT)SCRAPERATO SCRAPESOFFRTHEP

majority of the coating before wiping it off

WITH YOUR RAG $O NOT USE A METAL SCRAPER OR it may scratch the surface.)

4.Repeat Steps 2–3as necessary until clean, then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant or light oil to prevent rust.
