Cleaning
Cleaning the Machine
Regular cleaning and washing will increase the life span of
the machine. Clean the machine after each use, before the
dirt hardens.
Ensure that the motor is unplugged.
Use care when using a high-pressure sprayer because it can
damage warning decals, instruction signs, and the motor.
Important: Use pressure sprayers to clean only the
drum of the machine. Clean off the rest of the machine
by hand to keep the motor from getting wet.
Important: Lubricate the trunnions after cleaning; refer
to Lubricating the Bearings and Seals (page 22).
