16. CAUTION:
^
Alkaline cleaning solutions will damage machine surfaces. Use only emulsion cleaners or petroleum based cleaning solvent.
^
Use soft, clean, lintless towels to dry the components.
^
Never spin-dry bearings with compressed air. This will damage the mating surfaces due to a lack of lubrication.
^
After drying, lightly coat the parts with rust inhibitor or clean lubricant to prevent damage from corrosion. Wrap all parts that are going to be
in storage for a prolonged period in wax paper.
Note: For Truetrac(R) differentials, submerge the entire differential assembly in a suitable solvent to wash away contaminants from within the
housing.
Clean and dry the components.
17. Inspect the bearing surfaces for pitting, wear and overheating.
