CASTER/ CART MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS

As a general guideline, if cart washing is frequent and/or prolonged, it is suggested to start by re-greasing the casters once a week
with a high temperature non-EP or silicone grease designated for use with anti-friction bearings and capable of withstanding
temperature ranges of between 0° F (17.7°C) to 325° F (162.7°C). The f requency of caster re-greasing can then be adjusted as
required. Casters should be periodically inspected for worn treads, loose bolts, excessive play and/or caster wheel/tread degradation
and repaired or replaced as required.

Additionally, if cart washing is frequent and/or prolonged, the silicone sealed joints should also be periodically inspected to insure that

the integrity and adhesion of the silicon seal to the metal substrate is acceptable and remains capable of maintaining a watertight seal.

If visible degradation of the silicone seal becomes apparent, the existing sealant should be removed and replaced with

Dow Corning® 732 Multi-Purpose Sealant or equivalent.
