1. Position the carriage at end of travel and clamp it to hold the linear stage
against end block.
2. Remove the lubrication port protective caps on each end cap.
3. Insert the tip of the grease pump into the lubrication port, pushing in until
firm contact with the grease fitting is made.
4. Pump the handle until back pressure is felt, or a maximum of two strokes
are made.
5. Repeat step 3 and step 4 to the other lubrication ports.
6. Move the carriage to opposite end of travel and repeat steps 1…5.
ATTENTION: Do not use clamp across the side panels. This deforms and
damages the side panels.
