Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G5771 is relatively easy. Periodically wipe down the machine to remove dust and oil. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the machine by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures rust-promoting debris does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep the machine rust-free with regular applica- tions of products like SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on Page 21 for more details).
