Cleaning.Machine
To prevent corrosion during shipment and storage of your
machine, the factory has coated the bare metal surfaces
of your machine with a heavy-duty rust prevention
compound.
If you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can
be difficult to remove. To ensure that the removal of this
coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct
cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:
• Cleaner/degreaser designed to remove storage wax
and grease
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Solvent brush or paint brush
• Disposable Rags
To. remove. the. rust. preventative. coating,. do. these.
steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
3. Using a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreaser,
Coat all surfaces that have the coating, and let soak
for few minutes.
4. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the coating will wipe off easily.
Tip: To clean off thick coats of the rust preventative
compound on flat surfaces, use a PLASTIC paint
scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating
before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a
metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.)
5. Repeat the cleaning steps as necessary until all of
the compound is removed.
6. To prevent rust on the freshly cleaned surfaces,
immediately coat with a quality metal protectant.
