Bearing Lubrication
Lubricate the linear thruster bearings as shown and described below.

2. Clean grease from the bearing by using clean lint free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
3. Place the grease pump on the grease fitting just inside the stator housing, pushing in until
firm contact with the grease fitting is made.

5. Repeat steps 1 and 3 on all grease fittings.
If your linear thruster has a strip cover install it by following the next steps.
6. Carefully slide the slider cover the through the plastic end-caps centering it on the linear
thruster.

8. Install the end clamps with the M3 x 0.5 x 6 mm button head cap screws.
9. Install the stator cover with the M3 x 0.5 x 6 mm flat head cap screws.
10. Torque all screws to 1.1 N•m (10 lb•in).
ATTENTION: The slider cover has sharp edges. Use care when handling.
