to what needs to be done.
Maintenance

Cleaning
Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving suspension
parts. Use compressed air, a soft paintbrush, or toothbrush to remove dust
or dirt. Avoid using solvents or chemicals as they can actually wash dirt into
the bearings or moving parts as well as cause damage to the electronics.
