3.10 Lubricating the Carriage Rails.
The carriage moves on two rails.
Dust settles on these rails which is then dragged onto the car-
riage bearings.
For effective movement of the carriage, the operator should
clean & lubricate the rails.
Take a clean cloth, put some lubricating oil (3 in 1 machine oil
or sewing machine oil) and clean both the rails.
To clean the rails on the Home Side, use the Carriage Release
function.
Once the rails are free of any dust and grease build-up, apply
very little amount of lubrication oil onto the rails with the help
of a cloth.
Make sure that the oil does
not drip down (the applied
quantity should be mini-
mum).
The operator needs to make
sure that when he feels the
railwithhisnger,itshould
not be dry.
To lubricate the rail on the Home Side, use
the Carriage Release (p.23) function.
3.11 Greasing the Carriage Bearing Blocks.
Type of Grease: Lithium Based or Urea Based (JIS No.2).
Application Quantity: 1.5 to 2.0 gms approx. per block.
Perform ‘Lubricating the Carriage Rails’ procedures before applying grease to
the bearings.
Use a greasegunwithaexibleextensiontoapplygreasethroughthenipples
on the Bearing Blocks.
There are two nipples, one if for the X movement (Right / Left) of the carriage
and the other is for the Y movement (Up / Down) of the carriage; both nipples
need to be greased.
Do not run the engine straight away,
move the carriage manually a few times
so that the grease can spread over the
guide (moving the carriage manually by
using the Carriage Release function).
