Cleaning.Machine
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but
it will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper
care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust
preventative, but the following steps work well
in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the
manufacturer's instructions with any cleaning
product you use and make sure you work in a
well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to
toxic fumes.
Before.cleaning,.gather.the.following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic.steps.for.removing.rust.preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses.
2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it
soak for 5–10 minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust
preventative will wipe off easily. If you
have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as
much as you can first, then wipe off the
rest with the rag.
4. Repeat Steps.2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a
quality metal protectant to prevent rust.
