Chapter 10: Cleaning Equipment and Methods

ANSWER: 1. Speed–cleaning is completed in 10-20 minutes.
2. Safety–chances of splashing are reduced. The machine will not operate unless the door is closed.
3. Drying–the temperature of the solution results in very quick drying of the parts.
4. Energy efficiency–newer machines use less energy.
POINTS: 1

24. Following cleaning in a spray or soal tank, oil galleries must be cleaned with a brush after the plugs sealing the ends of
the galleries are removed. Why is this step necessary?
ANSWER: Over many miles of driving under various maintenance conditions, grime builds up in the oil galleries. This
material is loosened during the cleaning process. If it is not physically removed, it will end up ruining new
engine bearings and possibly more.
POINTS: 1

25. What precautions should you take when using a bead blaster?
ANSWER: 1. Do not accidentally blast the window in the blaster cabinet. This “frosts” the glass, requiring it to be
replaced.
2. Do not blast parts unless the reclaim motor is on. This will allow dust to escape into the shop through the
vents in the cabinet.
3. Some bead blasters have separate reclaim cabinets. When glass beads become too small to be useful any
longer, they are separated out by the reclaimer, which consists of several long, cloth tubes. Service to the
reclaim unit includes moving a handle on the side of the cabinet in and out to shake spent beads from the
surfaces of the cloth tubes. The bead dust falls into a tray beneath the tubes, which fills with worn-out beads
and must be periodically emptied.
4. Two rubber gloves extend into the cabinet for holding the blaster nozzle and maneuvering parts. Try not to
hold parts with the gloves. Holes wear into the fingers of the gloves. A small spring clamp is effective for
holding small parts. Do not use the bead blaster if there are holes in the gloves.
