Equipment Cleaning Requirements
If the equipment is to be shipped to another site or to the factory for service, it needs to be
thoroughly cleaned before leaving the site. Cleaning the equipment protects the user (sender),
the shipper, and the receiver from dirt and/or contaminants. If the equipment is not cleaned
prior to shipping for servicing, it may be severely delayed, refused or the shipper may be
charged a cleaning fee. Before packing and shipping, ensure that the equipment is dry inside
and out.
The following is a list of equipment and how it should be cleaned prior to shipment.

STEP 1 - Pump clean water or water with a gentle soap solution (e.g. Dove Dish
Soap) through the pump to remove free product and particles.
STEP 2 - Rinse all soap off of the equipment.
STEP 3 - Soak and rinse the outside of the unit with water to remove loose debris
and dirt.
STEP 4 - Steam clean inside and out to remove difficult dirt and contaminants.
Caution:
Use low pressure (less than 40 psi) when steam cleaning.
