The oil stain should be scraped when deposits thickly in the surface of parts. Generally surface oil stain should be cleaned in the hot cleaning fluid, commonly used cleaning fluid has alkaline cleaning fluid and synthetic detergent. When using alkaline cleaning solution for hot cleaning, it should be heated to 70 ~ 90 Celsius, parts need be immersed in 10 ~ 15 mins, and then remove and rinse with water, and then make it dry.
Note: using gasoline cleaning is not safe; aluminum parts can not be washed in strong alkaline cleaning solution; alcohol or brake fluid should be used non-metallic rubber parts for cleaning.
(2) Coke removal
