8.2 External Visual Inspection
An external visual inspection should check the following things.

If the actuator is installed in the vertical orientation, the grease applied on the guide may drop in
some environmental conditions. Clean and supply the grease when it is necessary.
8.3 Cleaning
• Clean exterior surfaces as necessary.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt and buildup.
• Do not blow too hard with compressed air as it may cause dust to get in through the gaps.
• Do not use oil-based solvents as they can harm lacquered and painted surfaces.
• To remove severe buildup, wipe gently with a soft cloth soaked in a neutral detergent or alcohol.
