Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model G0971 is relatively easy.
Periodically wipe down the rollers to remove dust
and debris—this ensures rust-promoting material
does not remain on the bare metal surfaces.
Protect the unpainted metal surfaces with regular
applications of products like SLIPIT® (see Figure
77 below for examples).
