Cleaning
_______________________________________________
Aluminum Parts
Parts made out of Aluminum Alloy should
be handled carefully.
 Aluminum parts corrode if exposed to
salt or mud. Sponge off salt water, road
salt and other dirt immediately using
mild detergent.
Rinse with plenty of water and dry with
soft cloth.
 To prevent scratching, avoid abrasive
cleaners and steel wool and do not use
excessive force when cleaning or
rubbing aluminum parts.
