The unpainted surfaces are coated at the factory
with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage
The benefit of this rust preventative is that it
works very well The downside is that it can be
time-consuming to thoroughly remove
Be patient and do a careful job when cleaning
and removing the rust preventative The time
you spend doing this will reward you with
smooth-sliding parts and a better appreciation
for the proper care of the unpainted surfaces
Although there are many ways to successfully
remove the rust preventative, the following
process works well in most situations
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable
rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (certain citrus-based
degreasers work extremely well and they
have non-toxic fumes)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves
2.
Coat rust preventative with liberal amount
of cleaner/degreaser and let it soak for a few
minutes
3.
Wipe off surfaces If cleaner/degreaser is
effective, rust preventative will wipe off
easily If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
rest off with rag
4.
Repeat
Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with quality
metal protectant or light oil to prevent rust
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may
damage painted surfaces. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product and test on small,
inconspicuous location first.
