To Use Roller Cleaner 1 to Clean a Wheel Roller Bearing:

	Ensure that the black gasket is in place inside the yellow cone.
	Ensure that the piston and O-ring are sufficiently lubricated.
	Select a suitable container and cleaning fluid. Remove the black cone plug from the Roller Cleaner.
	Place the black cone plug - point upwards - in the container. Place the bearing - large diameter upward - on the cone as show.
	Fill the container with cleaning fluid.
	Prepare the Roller Cleaner by fully depressing the piston shaft to the bottom of its travel.
	Place the yellow cone over the bearing and slowly draw cleaning fluid through the bearing by pulling the piston upwards.
	Repeat 4 or 5 times to flush the cleaning fluid through the rollers and bearing cage.
	Complete the process by fully depressing the piston shaft to the bottom of its travel to remove all of the fluid from the cleaner.
	Remove the bearing from the container and dry the fluid from the bearing.

Roller Cleaner 1 Maintenance: If fluid weeps from the vent holes of the yellow cap, replace the cylinder liner and/or the O-ring as required.

IMPORTANT: If using compressed air to dry the bearing NEVER allow the bearing to begin spinning: be sure to hold the cage to prevent cage and rollers from rotating on the race.
