(2) How to apply grease
[Small Two-finger Slide Type (RCP2CR-GRSS)]
[Small Two-finger Lever Type (RCP2CR-GRLS)]
[1] In the case of small two-finger slide type
(RCP2CR-GRSS), remove the rubber cover.
Rubber covers have “notches” on them.
Detach the notches when removing the rubber
cover.
[2] Using a 2.5-mm Allen wrench, turn the
opening/closing screw at the center of the
fingers to move the fingers toward the stroke
center.
[3] With your finger, apply grease to the gap
between finger and finger guide (steel bearing).
After applying the grease, work it in by twisting
the opening/closing screw to move the finger
back and forth a few times. Remove excess
grease and grease spatters.
