Page 29: Cleaning And Maintenance
MST Installation Instructions Cleaning and Maintenance The frequency of interior maintenance will depend on how often the turnstile is used, the type of personnel using the turnstile and the environment. Installed turnstiles should be inspected once during the first 30 days after installation. Thereafter, follow the maintenance schedule on the following pages. - Page 30 Rusted surfaces and even damaged pitted surfaces can generally be cleaned with the MAAS product but highly damaged areas may require chemical passivation. To chemically passivate stainless steel, Alvarado recommends the use of a citric acid product, CitriSurf2310, available from Stellar Solutions (www.citrisurf.com). This product is especially formulated to clean and passivate stainless steel and can be used in the field.
