*1 If the actuator is operated back and forth repeatedly over a distance of 30 mm or less, the oil film
created by the grease may be broken. It is recommended to have 5 cycles of back and forth
operation in a distance more than 50mm after every 5,000 to 10,000 rounds of the short distance
operation. A layer of the grease will recover.

5.3 Cleaning
x Please clean the external body on a regular basis.
x When cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.
x The base oil of the grease may come out on the surface of the actuator in some cases. Wipe it
away with soft cloth.
x There is a risk of dust getting in from a clearance. Do not blow compressed air strongly to the body.
x Do not apply petroleum solvent since it may damage the resin or painted surfaces.
