CAUTION
Make sure that these components are safe and correctly lubricated after cleaning. • Be careful when using a power washer on metal surfaces. When using a power washer, remove the paint and protective cover from components (hydraulic lines, terminal strips, and linkages) in a freezer condition environment. Apply paint or protective cover to these areas to decrease the risk of corrosion. • Before installing the removed components, or lubricating, or operating the equipment, make sure that the equipment does not contain solvent and is dry. See the Crown Cleaning Products table for items used to clean the material handling equipment.

The electrical components (connectors, terminal boards, and wires) can be permanently damaged from water or solvents. Contamination on or in these components after you use a power washer can cause corrosion: • The circuit boards • The contactors • The encoders • The switches • The potentiometers •
Event codes and irregular lift truck operation can occur if using a power washer. • Make sure that all the electronic components are safe from the power washer. Removing the components is the best procedure to decrease the risk of damage. • When a power washer is used, remove the lubricants in or on the surface of the following components: – Shafts – Bearings – Hinges – Gears – Bushings – Chains – Linkages
