CARE & MAINTENANCE
QUICK CLEANING
Option 1: Rinse extractor out with cold water from a hose. If available, a
pressure washer is very eective. Empty excess water to prevent possible
surface rust.
Option 2: Place open extractor next to hive. Bees will clean it out and use the
materials.
IN-DEPTH CLEANING
Disassemble extractor (see Disassembly instructions). Using mild dish soap
and warm water, scrub drum and basket clean. Completely rinse the parts
and dry with a so cloth. Reassemble the extractor when dry.
CARE
• When not in use, store the extractor in a dry place. Although stainless
steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, light surface rust can form
in wet conditions.
• If surface rust forms, clean with a light abrasive to remove rust.
• If the extractor begins making squeaking noises, lightly lubricate all
bearings with a food safe grease or oil. Wipe away any excess.
• If the roller bearing in the crank sha support block does not turn freely,
lubricate with a light grease (such as white lithium) or oil.
• The gearbox is permanently sealed and requires no maintenance.
