The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

This  rust  preventative  has  been  your  machine's
close  ally  and  guardian  since  it  left  the  factory.
If  your  machine  arrived  to  you  free  of  rust,  then
be  thankful  that  the  rust  preventative  protected
it  during  its  journey...and  try  to  stay  thankful  as
you clean it off,  because it can be challenging to
remove if you are unprepared and impatient.

Plan on spending some time cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this will
reward you with smooth sliding parts and a better
appreciation for the proper care of your machine's
unpainted surfaces.

Although there are many ways to successfully
remove the rust preventative, these instructions
walk you through what works well for us.

Before cleaning, gather the following:
•

Disposable Rags

•

Cleaner/degreaser (see below)

•

Safety glasses & disposable gloves

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses and disposable

gloves.

2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative

with a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreas-
er and let them soak for few minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily.

Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preven-
tative on flat surfaces, such as tables, use
a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the
majority of the coating before wiping it off with
your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you
may scratch your machine.)

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
