Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven- tative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufac- turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

Disposable Rags

Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

Safety glasses & disposable gloves

Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1.Put on safety glasses.

2.Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

3.Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas- er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.

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

Model G0719 (Mfg. Since 10/10)

Gasoline or products with low flash points can explode or cause fire if used to clean machin- ery. Avoid cleaning with these products.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if concentrat- ed amounts are inhaled. Only work in a well-venti- lated area.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may damage painted surfaces. Test all cleaners in an inconspicuous area before using to make sure they will not damage paint.
