8.1.3 To Prevent Possible Injury or Equipment Damage
Do not use a corrosive solvent, abrasive detergent, or polish. Select a
cleaning/disinfecting agent that does not damage the plastics, aluminum, or carbon fiber.
Do not use strong detergents, abrasive cleaners, high alcohol concentration, or methanol
at any concentration.

or increase the risk of electric shock.
Always follow instructions from the manufacturer of the product you use for cleaning.
The instructions include the directions and precautions for the application and contact
