To remove the paint from the components:
Be careful when you use paint-removing solvents or other liquids to remove the paint from
the components. These liquids can be dangerous and release flammable fumes. Always obey
these precautions:
- Make sure that there is sufficient airflow in the work area during and after the
procedure.
- Do not get liquids on your skin.
- Always close solvent containers when you do not use them.
Before you remove the paint from the parts: Remove all fittings, O-rings, nuts, bolts,
washers, pistons, bearing cups and other items to prevent damage.

3 Remove the part from the solvent and flush it fully with hot water (75°C/170°F).
Remove the solvent carefully from all cavities and threaded holes where solvent can
collect.
