I have looked at the manual and watched all the vids. on the Whites page. I just can't seem to find out how to clean the V. I never had this problem with other machines. There must be somthing wrong with it. Should I call Whites and send it to them for a replacement?
 
I don't understand it looks fine to me. The only problem I can see is your DX1 is white. Rob
 
:rofl:.......It looks like mine........:beers:
 
What's wrong with it. As long as you know which buttons to push and have enough info on the display for adjustment settings. Perhaps a few uses in downpours may knock off a little from the display so you can see the settings better, only if need to be. Don't use a belt sander on the display if you can help it. I wouldn't worry unless you are sending it in for factory work. The extra weight may cause it to take longer to get to Whites. In that case, you can give it a good spiff from the high power steam cleaner. The stubborn clods you can knock off with a prospector hammer. If your looking for investment protection, have the entire unit sprayed with Line-X. But if you leave it as is, you can add cost if you ever sell it, since it's broke in and you have added a camo look.

Thanks for your input tab. I will give your advice a try before I send it in.
 
Take it apart and put it in the washing machine. DO NOT put it in the dryer, hang up and let it air dry. Possible damage to your dryer could happen should you decide to do so.
Thats what a machine is suppose to look like when used!!!
KEEP WORKING IT!!!

Well I tried knocking the dirt off with a small hammer I have and after I was done I found that under all that dirt there was a bunch off dents I never notched before. I did not have any sandpaper so I used steel wool on the screen. I noticed it did a great job getting the dirt off but I then saw that all that dirt must have been covering a bunch of scratches I never saw before. So I guess I will try nw1886 idea of the rock tumbler to see if I can get rid of the scratches and to smooth out some of those dents. You would think whites would have put something in the manual about this. I am sure Jeff Foster will cover this in a book should he put on togther. I will keep you posted on how this works out.
 
If you want to keep the "foam" handle that you hold while swinging clean try this: Double over a length of duct tape with the sticky sides together. Wrap it around the handle to cover the foam pad and then cover that duct tape with another piece of duct tape to hold it in place. I used the duct tape with the camo coloring. Dirt doesn't stick to the tape and accumulate on the handle like it does on the foam.
