Part Replacement

Always replace worn or damaged parts with new parts.
CLEANING

Part Protection

Before cleaning, protect rubber parts (such as hoses, boots
and electrical insulation) from cleaning solutions. Use a
grease-proof barrier material. Remove the rubber part if it
cannot be properly protected.

Cleaning Process

Any cleaning method may be used as long as it does not
result in parts damage. Thorough cleaning is necessary for
proper parts inspection. Strip rusted paint areas to bare metal
before repainting.

Rust or Corrosion Removal

Remove rust and corrosion with a wire brush, abrasive cloth,
sand blasting, vapor blasting or rust remover. Use buffing
crocus cloth on highly polished parts that are rusted.
Bearings
Remove shields and seals from bearings before cleaning.
Clean bearings with permanent shields and seals in solution.
Clean open bearings by soaking them in a petroleum
cleaning solution. Never use a solution that contains chlorine.
Let bearings stand and dry. Do not dry using compressed air.
Do not spin bearings while they are drying.

performing any task using air-operated tools.
On all power tools, use only recommended accessories
with proper capacity ratings.
