Clean the gantry exterior covers, Mylar ring, and mat switch
Wipe down the gantry's exterior covers — the front cover, dome cover, resin covers (side cover, top cover, rear cover, base cover), and the Mylar ring — using a properly prepared cloth, and clean the mat switch with extra care so it isn't damaged in the process. This is a routine housekeeping task: no disassembly, no power isolation, and no tools beyond a cloth and a mild cleaning solution.

Safety
Hazard: Cleaning the covers with volatile liquids (e.g., alcohol) or unapproved chemicals (G-CB02)
Consequence: Damage to the cover coating, or reduced strength of the resin covers
Avoidance: Use only a cloth moistened with mild detergent or warm water, thoroughly wrung out; never use alcohol or other volatile liquids, and avoid harsh/unapproved chemicals
Hazard: Sharp-edged object contact with the mat switch, or its edge section caught by a rag while cleaning
Consequence: Mat switch malfunction
Avoidance: Clean the mat switch only with the same well-wrung soft cloth; keep sharp-edged tools away from it and do not let a rag's edge catch on its edge section
