7.1.3.4 Lubrication Schedule
Actual lubrication interval is under the influence of each application and environment.
Branson recommends the following schedule as an initial plan to follow:
After 1 month of normal operation:
1. Inspect interior of actuator for possible grease discharge.
2. Re-lubricate slide with specified grease until slide reservoir is full (minimum of 0.6 CC).
3. Allow full travel of the slide unit inside the actuator.
4. Cycle the slide 10-20 to re-circulate the grease.
After 3 months of normal operation:
1. Inspect interior of actuator for possible grease discharge.
2. Re-lubricate slide with specified grease until slide reservoir is full (minimum of 0.6 CC).
3. Allow full travel of the slide unit inside the actuator.
4. Cycle the slide 10-20 to re-circulate the grease.
CAUTION General Warning
