Inspections and Maintenance:
Written record — before using the product for the first time, make a written record of its
appearance. Describe the condition of welds, handles, ring, and cross brace. Take photographs and
add them to the record. Take photographs of all labels applied to the product. Describe where each
label is located.
This record establishes normal condition
.
When conducting the following inspections, compare your observations to the record to determine if
the drum retainer is in normal condition. Do not use it unless it is in normal condition. Cosmetic
changes, like damaged paint/powder coat do not constitute changes from normal condition. However,
touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs. Contact Technical
Service (contact information appears on the cover page) if you have questions that are not addressed
in these instructions.
Before each use
— perform the following inspections and maintenance.
1. Clean dirt or other matter from all surfaces.
2. Examine frame elements for excessive wear, breakages, corrosion/rusting, damage, and metal
fatigue. If rusting is purely superficial, remove the rust/corrosion with a steel bristle brush or steel
wool. Clean the affected area, allow it to dry, and then apply touchup paint. If rusting, or other
damage has weakened the material, contact technical service for advice.
3. Check all labels (see “Labeling diagram” below). Replace labels that are damaged or not easily
readable (e.g. faded).
Labeling Diagram:
The unit should be labeled as shown in the diagram. However, label content and location are
subject to change so your product might not be labeled exactly as shown. Replace all labels that are
damaged, missing, or not easily readable (e.g. faded). To order replacement labels, contact the
technical service and parts department online at

. Alternatively,
you may request replacement parts and/or service by calling (260) 665-7586 and asking the operator to
connect you to the Parts Department.
