inquire about its return or repair. Field serviceability testing is not required, and should not be done by the
end user.
Cleaning after use is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of G-Bolt. Remove all dirt,
corrosives, and contaminants from G-Bolt before and after each use. If G-Bolt cannot be cleaned
with plain water, use mild soap and water, then rinse and wipe dry. NEVER clean G-Bolt with corrosive
substances.
When not in use, store equipment where it will not be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture, chemicals,
or other degrading elements.
