8.4 Internal Inspections for Slider Type
Turn OFF the power, remove the side cover and conduct a visual inspection.
When inspecting the interior, check the following items.
Main unit Loose mounting bolts, other loose items
Guide section Lubrication, buildup
Visually inspect the interior of the equipment. Check whether dust or other foreign matter has gotten
inside and check the lubrication state.
The lubrication may have turned brown. This is not a problem as long as the travel surfaces shine as
though they are wet.
If the grease is mixed with dust and does not have a shiny appearance, or if the grease has lost its
efficacy due to prolonged use, then clean each section and reapply grease.
The procedure for internal inspections is outlined below.
1) Loosen the screws on the screw cover and detach the screw cover.
2) Check inside.
3) After finishing the inspection, assemble back in the reverse order. Make sure there is no
interference to the slider when putting on the screw cover.
8.5 Internal Cleaning for Slider Type
• 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, neutral detergent or alcohol.
