CLEANING UP
YOUR MACHINE
Your machine has unpainted surfaces that
have been covered with a heavy coat of
packing grease and rust preventatives to
prevent any corrosion during storage or
shipment of this machine. Although the
grease and rust preventatives work well you
will need to be patient and clean it off the
unpainted surfaces. This process will take
a little time.
There are multiple methods that can be utilized
for this process however we recommend the
following steps:
We do recommend that this process is
done in a well ventilated place to minimize
any exposure to toxic fumes that may be
harmful to your health.

RUST PREVENTATIVE REMOVAL STEPS
1. Make sure that you are setup for rust
preventative removal in a well ventilated
area.
2. Put on all required safety equipment. (Eye
protection and rubber gloves).
3. Spray surface with a generous amount of
the degreasing agent and let it soak in and
break down the grease for 10 minutes. This
will allow the degreaser time to work.
4. Now you can wipe the excess degreaser
off of the surface. If your degreaser
was effective the rust preventative should
have started to breakdown and come off.
Try using the plastic scrapper to remove
most of the preventative. After scrapping
wipe down the surface again.
You may need to repeat steps 3 and 4 until
all the rust preventative is able to be re-
moved leaving a clean surface.
