[2] How to apply grease

1) Remove the side cover.
2) With a grease gun, squirt grease into the grease nipple in the LM block to which the slider is
attached.
Insert enough grease so that some of it leaks out of the other side of the LM block.
3) Repeat this procedure for the other grease nipples on the LM block.
4) Move the slider back and forth several times by hand.
5) After this, wipe away the excess grease from the LM block.
6) Replace the side cover.



Warning: Do not attempt to apply fluorine grease. When mixed with lithium grease, not only
decrease the grease characteristics, but also may damage the actuator.
