Compressed air can cause particles and debris to fly back into the face, eyes, ears, nose and mouth,
causing skin irritation and/or damage to sensitive tissue and airways. Use proper personal protective
equipment (PPE), such as safety goggles, gloves and full face shield at a minimum, when cleaning with
compressed air. Make sure other personnel in the work area are similarly and adequately protected.
1. Power wash frame at a minimum of 2300 PSI to remove dirt and debris.
NOTE: Hand-wash frame if power washer is not available. Use stiff bristle brushes, rags and sponges as
necessary to remove dirt and debris.
2. Let frame dry completely.
NOTE: Remove underbelly after drying, if applicable.
3. Use a hand wire brush to take down any heavy rust or scaling.
4. Use a rope wheel or knotted wheel around webbing.
5. Use a flat knot wheel around jointed areas near outriggers or anything welded to the I-beam or tubing.
NOTE: Lippert recommends 8500 rpm maximum operating speed if using an electric grinder.
NOTE: Lippert recommends 7K-12K rpm maximum operating speed if using a pneumatic grinder.
6. Use wire wheels to strip rust, scale, dirt and debris from other surfaces. Optionally, 27-grit stripper disks
may be used.

Instructions
Frame Painting
1. Chassis and Bumper Application: Paint frame required touch-up spray paint.
2. Let unit set until all painted areas are completely dry.
Overspray or dripping of paints and solvents onto an unprotected floor can create a slip hazard. Slipping
on wet surfaces can cause personal injury. Use a drop cloth or other, similar protective material on the
work area to prevent slipping.
7. After grinding, use compressed air to blow loose debris from around the area.
A. Use an air nozzle that is equipped with chip guards or provide an air curtain around the nozzle to
reduce fly back.
B. Nozzle shall be regulated to 30 psi maximum.
8. Make sure to lay a drop cloth or similar protective material under surfaces of work area to prevent
dripping or spills.
9. Wipe down affected surfaces with brake cleaner or lacquer thinner.
10. Use cardboard or heavy paper to prevent overspray.
11. Make sure to use primer before all paint applications. Apply primer after cleaned areas have
completely dried.
