CLEANING
IMP
RTANT
Do not clean electrical components with steam. Only approved solvents should be used to clean Solid
State components. Scheduled cleaning (as outlined) should preclude the need for using a degreaser. Not
all degreasers are acceptable. If a degreaser is to be used, we recommend degreaser or the equivalent to
MS-180 Freon TF degreaser and cleaner.
WARNING
!
When cleaning with compressed air:
• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when cleaning or drying with air pressure.
• Reduce air pressure to 30 PSI (207 kPa). Debris removed with air pressure can cause injury.
Normal Cleaning
Blowing dirt off with an air hose periodically will, for the most part, eliminate any serious cleaning problems. Should the
need arise for a more thorough cleaning, water may be hosed over the control and if necessary a mild detergent applied
such as that used in washing dishes in the home. This detergent should be rinsed off and the control dried with an air hose.
The control must be thoroughly dry before putting the truck back into service.

Cleaning the components of the truck is a vital part of the P.M. process. Keeping the components clean
will increase their service life and assure trouble free truck operation.
