IRON RANGE equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable 
service when properly maintained. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in 
good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount 
and degree of usage. 
 
Following daily and more extensive periodic maintenance procedures will increase the life of your 
equipment. Climatic conditions (e.g., salt air) may result in the need for more thorough and more frequent 
cleaning in order to keep equipment performing at optimal levels.
