Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of the extension block are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

Complete removal of the rust preventative is nec­essary for the extension block and upper arm to fit
properly and be accurately positioned.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable Rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Apply a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser

on the rust preventative, then let it soak for
5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative
will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint
scraper, scrape off as much as you can first,
then wipe off the rest with the rag.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
