Lubricate the Bearing Your stage requires lubrication every 6 months or 2500 km (1550 mi) of travel,
which ever comes first. Use the MPAS grease gun kit and grease cartridge, catalog

Maintenance
1. If installed remove strip seal and side cover on the side opposite the cable
carrier.
2. Clear any coarse or abrasive particles with a clean air line with maximum
pressure of 10 psi.
3. Clean scale with a clean dry cloth. Avoid the use of solvents.
4. If necessary use isopropyl alcohol sparingly, apply with a wetted cloth by
using a gentle wiping action.
5. Reinstall side cover and strip seal, if used.
ATTENTION: Do not use clamp across the side panels. This can deform
and damage the side panels.
