Use an acceptable solvent cleaner to remove accumulations of oil, grease, dirt, and foreign materials.

(b)Assembly. Remove blemishes and scratches from exposed surfaces. Assemble the rail members

with the rails parallel to grade and with the posts normal to grade. Place joints as indicated. Make cuts true, smooth, and free from burrs or ragged edges. Fillet drill all re-entrant cuts before cutting.

(c)Welding. Section 1105.03(m)
