I wouldn t panic. Definitely drop thezump and see whats in there. If its fairly clean you are ok. Small bits of pkastic are ok and aluminum bits usually are debris that come from fhe origknal machining that tend to show up years later.

The start up clatter is also very common although 30 seconds does seem long. Try changjng out the tensionefs if itreally bothers you.

And dont run 10-30 its too thin.
