4. When the deposits get soft, remove them using a
plastic bristle brush. NEVER use a wire brush for
cleaning
5. Protect the bearing surface of the turbine rotor
shaft and the seal ring groove from damage during
cleaning.
6. Incomplete cleaning will leave residual deposits
which may cause imbalance.
