For Machines Mfg. Since 8/09

Model SB1020

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, we have cleaned 

thousands of machines and found the following 

process to be the best balance between efficiency 

and minimized exposure to toxic fumes or 

chemicals.

•  Disposable rags

•  Cleaner/degreaser (certain citrus-based 

degreasers work extremely well and they 

have non-toxic fumes) 

•  Safety glasses & disposable gloves

Note: Automotive degreasers, mineral spirits, or 

WD•40 can be used to remove rust preventative.

Before using these products, though, test them 

on an inconspicuous area of a painted area to 

make sure they will not damage it.

1.  Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

2.  Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative

with a liberal amount of your cleaner or 

degreaser and let them soak for a few 

minutes.

3.  Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner or 

degreaser is effective, the rust preventative 

will wipe off easily.

Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preventative 

on flat surfaces, such as beds or 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

it may scratch the surface.)

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

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a 

quality metal protectant or light oil to 

prevent rust.
