Cleaning

Cleaning must be done using a clean and dry cloth or brush. Do not use solvents. Avoid greased parts of the mechanisms, except for grease on electrical contacts.

Recommendations for cleaning:

• Non-metallic parts:

  • Never use solvent, soap or any other cleaning product. Clean with a dry cloth only.

• Metal parts:

  • Clean with a dry cloth whenever possible. If soap or any other cleaning product must be used, make sure that it does not come into contact with non-metallic parts.

General recommendations: Never use pressurized cleaning products or products containing solvents (trichloroethane or trichloroethylene) such as WD40.

Pressurized cleaning products can cause the following problems:

• Removal of grease from inaccessible lubrication points. These areas are greased for the life of the product and cannot be regreased.

• Corrosion of points that are not regreased.

• Damage caused by the pressure applied by the cleaning product.

• Temperature rise due to the presence of an insulating solvent in the contact zones.

• Elimination of special protection.

• Deterioration of plastic materials.
