6. From the access panel opening, grasp only the stainless steel Y-Axis frame,
carefully push the Y-Axis fully forward. The lead screws will offer some resis-
tance, this is normal.
7. Remove excess dirt and grease from the Y-Axis by dampening a lint-free paper
towel with mineral oil and wipe down the surface of the exposed Y-rails.
8. Pull the X-Axis to one side by pulling on the X-Axis frame structure.
9. Remove excess dirt and grease from the X-Axis by dampening a lint-free paper
towel with mineral oil and wipe down the surface of the exposed X-Axis. Pull
to the other end of travel and repeat.
10. Remove excess dirt and grease from the Y-Axis by dampening a lint-free paper
towel with mineral oil and wipe down the surface of the exposed Y-Axis. Pull
to the other end of travel and repeat.
11. Inspect cable links for damage or wear, especially at the points of movement
for wear or insulation damage. Call the Agilent Response Center if damage is
discovered.
12. Inspect the Automatic Width Adjust lead screws for debris and lubrication. Use
a clean, lint-free cloth to remove contamination.
13. Apply a small amount of grease along the exposed length of both lead screws
and remove the excess.
14. Apply a small amount of grease along the exposed length of the X-Axis and the
Y-Axis rails and remove the excess.
15. Apply a small amount of grease to each of the four Z-Axis slide rails.
16. Check the rail locking set screws for each of the Z-Axis rails to ensure they are
tight.
Caution
When moving the X-Axis and Y-Axis by hand, only apply pressure to the
primary Y-Axis structures (the X-Axis welded aluminum channel structure or the
Y-Axis welded stainless steel structure). Applying pressure to the Z-Axis
structures or encoders will result in extensive damage to the axes assemblies.
