CLEANING
Southbend equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable
service when properly maintained. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in
good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount
and degree of usage.
Following daily and more extensive periodic maintenance procedures will increase the life of your equipment.
Climatic conditions (e.g., salt air) may result in the need for more thorough and more frequent cleaning in
order to keep equipment performing at optimal levels.
