10.4 Grease Supply
10.4.1 Grease to be applied on Rod (Sliding Surface)
The following grease is applied when the product is shipped out from IAI factory.
Rod (sliding surface) Sumico Lubricant Co., Ltd. Sumitec 308
Even though an equivalent type of grease can be purchased from other suppliers, please be very careful in
selecting grease since an inappropriate choice may give an impact to the actuator life.
Caution: Do not attempt to apply any grease other than poly � olefin synthetic grease.
Mixing the grease with other types does not only drop the grease performance, but also may
damage the actuator.
10.4.2 Applying the Grease on the Rod (Sliding Surface)
Pull out the rod, clean the sliding surface, and then supply grease with fingers on the rod sliding surface. Move the
rod back and forth to evenly allocate the grease through the area. Lastly, wipe off the excess grease.
