MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, LUBRICATION and STORAGE
The
Side
Entry has been designed to provide many years of trouble free service, and requires little in
the way of routine maintenance.
Any loose fasteners must be tightened, and the equipment returned to a factory authorized service
center for structural repair if necessary.
Basic cleaning should be performed at least annually (as outlined in Section 6.2) as part of the annual
inspection, or more frequently as required when used is under harsh conditions.
7.1 Cleaning the Horizontal Entry system
Use a solution of warm water and a mild detergent to clean the Horizontal Entry System and its labels.
Do not use solvents or other cleaners to clean the equipment, as this may result in damage to the
powder coat finish.
