non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other
protective compound.

Wiping dust or dirt off the body with
a dry cloth will scratch the finish.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive clean-

highly alkaline or caustic agents on
chrome-plated or anodized aluminum
parts. This may result in damage to
the protective coating and cause dis-
coloration or paint deterioration.
