* If the actuator are operated back and forth repeatedly over a distance of 30mm or less, the oil film

created by the grease may be broken. As a guide, move the actuators back and forth repeatedly for

around 5 cycles over a distance of 50mm or more after every 5,000 to 10,000 cycles. A layer of the

grease will recover.

4.2 External Visual Inspection

�

Overall Irregular noise, vibration

4.3 Cleaning

• Clean the exterior as needed.

• Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.

• Do not use strong compressed air on the actuator as this may force dust into the crevices.

• Do not use petroleum-based solvent on plastic parts or painted surfaces.

• If the unit is badly soiled, apply a neutral detergent or alcohol to a soft cloth, and wipe gently.
