4.3.2 How to apply the grease

Since the pipe and slider are designed to slide against each other via a wear ring, food-grade grease is

charged as lubricant in order to extend the life of the wear ring and keep the pipe temperature from

rising.

This grease contains antibacterial agent to prevent growth of bacteria and mildews. It also offers strong

adhesive power to withstand the flushing forces of high-pressure water. However, the grease will still be

consumed over time due to actuator operation, washing with water, and so on. If necessary, therefore,

apply grease during the inspection.

If the actuator had not been operated for a prolonged period of time, apply grease before operating it

again.

[How to Add Grease]

If the actuator has a screw cover, remove the cover.

Clean the surface of the slider rod, and apply grease over the entire surface using your finger.

To reach inaccessible areas of the slider, turn on the power and move the slider until the applicable

areas are exposed. Then, turn off the power and apply grease.

Also apply grease over the guides on both sides













Caution: In case the grease got into your eye, immediately go see the doctor to get

appropriate care.

After finishing the grease supply work, wash your hands carefully with water

and soap to rinse the grease off.
