Clean Parts
Ground and Polished Parts
NEVER use hot solution tanks or water and alkaline solutions to
clean ground or polished parts. Damage to parts can result.
• NEVER clean ground or polished parts in a hot solution
tank, water, steam, or alkaline solution to avoid damaging
the surfaces.
• Use a cleaning solvent to clean ground or polished parts or
surfaces. NEVER USE GASOLINE.
• Use a knife, if required, to remove gasket material from
parts. Be careful not to damage the ground or polished

Clean Rough Parts
• Clean rough parts with the same method as cleaning
ground and polished parts.
