*Please note:*
- The tumbler must be on a stable and flat level surface while in use.
- The barrel must have a full load inside to ground it. Too light a load will cause vibration, and too large will overload the tumbler and cause excessive wear.
- To clean, use mild dish soap or dishwashing liquid and lukewarm water. Never use cleaners containing containing ammonia or solvents such as Alcohol, Trichloroethyiene, Thinner, Gasoline, as it could damage the barrel.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry with a soft damp cloth. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
- If the cleaning solution begins to look dirty, change immediately.
- Clean the lid's O-ring weekly and lubricate with vaseline/petroleum jelly to prevent perishing.
