GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use

clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact

with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal

injury.

Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be

repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should

be replaced at an Authorized Service Center.
