Clean the Columns

Clean columns are essential to good machine
performance and safe operation. Extremely dirty
conditions may require that the columns be
cleaned more often.
1 Raise all columns to the maximum height.
2 Visually inspect the inner and outer channels of
the columns for debris or foreign material. If
necessary, use a mild cleaning solvent to clean
the columns.
