10. Maintenance and Inspection
-59-
10.3 Cleaning
x Clean exterior surfaces as necessary.
x Use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt and buildup.
x To clean the spiral cover, use a soft cloth, etc., to wipe off soiling by working from the large diameter side
toward the small diameter side.
x Do not blow too hard with compressed air as it may cause dust to get in through the gaps.
x Do not use oil-based solvents as they can harm lacquered and painted surfaces.
x To remove severe buildup, wipe gently with a soft cloth soaked in a neutral detergent or alcohol.
10.4 Inspection of the Interior
When inspecting the interior, check the items specified below.
Main unit Loose actuator mounting bolts, other loose items
Lead screw or ball screw Lubrication, buildup
To check the lead screw or ball screw, turn off the power, extend the rod, and pull the narrower end of the spiral
cover toward the wider end (in the direction of the arrow) to expose the screw shaft and inspect the shaft visually.
If the lead is too small and the rod does not move, insert a slotted screwdriver, etc., into the cutout groove
provided in the shaft on the rear side and turn. [Refer to 8.2, “How to Move the Rod by Hand.”]
Visually check the lubrication condition of the lead screw or ball screw.
Even when the grease is brown, the screw is lubricated property as long as the traveling surface looks wet and
shiny. If the grease is mixed with dust and dirty or has no shiny appearance, or if the grease has lost its efficacy
due to prolonged use, clean the applicable area and then replenish grease.
