For thorough cleaning, some parts must be removed. For opti- mum performance from your machine, clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces. Avoid
Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use these products to clean the machinery.
