Light Tower Cleaning
WARNING
Do not use petroleum products (solvents, fuel oils or gasoline) under high pressure
as this can penetrate the skin and result in serious illness.
Cleaning with degreaser or mineral spirits should only be performed in a well
ventilated area away from all heat flame, or spark producing equipment. No smoking
within 25 ft of the area. Mineral spirits are potentially explosive and explosion could
cause severe injury or death.
Exercise extreme caution when spraying mineral spirits or other solvents. If the
pressure is too high and the spray is allowed to come in contact with the skin,
penetration and poisoning could result.
CAUTION
Do not use high pressure water, steam or solvent on the exterior finish of the unit
housing. This could result in damage to equipment.
