plug from the socket and wind up the cord.

Cleaning

Regularly remove any remains of plants, leaves, etc, and brush off any sand and dust.
Clean the Pipe rail trolley with a dry/damp cloth and soft brush. It is also possible to clean
the METOSWR using compressed air, provided that it is dry. Never pour water over the
METOSWR or clean it using a steam or high-pressure water cleaner which can lead to
serious damage being caused to the electrical circuits in the equipment.
Every week remove all sand and dirt from the chassis for the scissor sliding blocks.
