CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The cleaning instructions will be the same for the majority of parts and components that make up the
trailer.
The importance of cleaning must be thoroughly understood by maintenance personnel. Care and
effort are required in cleaning. Dirt and foreign material are a constant threat to satisfactory
maintenance. The following should apply to all cleaning, inspection, repair, and assembly
operations.
1. Clean all parts before inspection, after repair, and before assembly.
2. Keep hands free of grease, which can collect dust, dirt, or grit.
3. After cleaning, cover or wrap all parts to protect them from dust and dirt. Lightly oil parts
that are subject to rust.
STEAM CLEANING
Protect all electrical equipment that can be damaged by the steam or moisture before steam cleaning
the exterior of the trailer.
Place disassembled parts in a suitable container to steam clean.
Dry and cover (or lightly oil) all parts subject to rust after cleaning.
