CLEANING AND PAINTING
1. CLEANING
Cleanliness of the unit not only adds to the general appearance, but it is also a
factor in reducing the maintenance upkeep. A unit maintained with periodic
cleaning will require less repainting and will also help prevent the accumulations
of abrasive grit on moving parts and surfaces. The user should develop cleaning
schedules according to the local environmental and operating conditions. Painted
surfaces require washing with mild detergent and rinsing with clean water. A
bristle brush (never wire) or spray gun may be used. Unpainted surfaces are
cleaned using clean water and brush, approved solvents, or steam cleaning
equipment. Degreasers may be used to remove grease accumulations from non-
lubricated metal parts. Care should be taken with degreasers, as some may also
remove or damage painted surfaces. Follow manufacturers instructions. Clean
electrical parts with a lint-free cloth, moistened with approved solvents for
electrical equipment.
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW SOAKING, SPRAYING, OR STEAM CLEANING TO AFFECT
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR WIRING. RUBBER COMPONENTS SHOULD
NOT BE CLEANED WITH SOLUTIONS HAVING A PETROLEUM BASE SUCH AS
KEROSENE, MINERAL SPIRITS, OR SIMILAR SOLVENTS.
2. PAINTING
Painted surfaces, in addition to presenting a good appearance, protect the unit
from deterioration. Paint should be maintained on a non-scheduled, as required
basis. Repaint the entire unit whenever necessary.
