12.2 Visually Inspecting the Exterior
Visually check the exterior of the following items.
Inspection location Check items Remarks
Actuator Loosening of actuator mounting bolts, etc.
Cables Scratches, connector engagement
Stainless sheet Scratches, loosening Refer to Chapter 12 in this manual.
Overall Noise, vibration
* As a guideline, the service life of the stainless sheet roughly corresponds to a traveled distance of
5,000 km.
However, the stainless sheet may have to be replaced earlier depending on the use condition.
12.3 Cleaning the Exterior
x Clean the exterior surface as necessary.
x Wipe dirty areas using a soft cloth, etc.
x Do not blow highly compressed air onto the actuator, as it may cause dust to enter the actuator through
gaps between parts.
x Do not use petroleum-based solvent as it damages resin and coated surfaces.
x To remove stubborn stains, take neutral detergent or alcohol into a soft cloth, etc., and wipe the area
gently.
