1. Clean the AY and the TX guide rails using a dry, clean cloth.

Note:

DO NOT use a solvent such as alcohol or WD-40. If a solvent is needed to remove dirt

and/or gum buildup on the rail, be sure to thoroughly dry the rail before moving the

bearings. The solvent may harm the bearing grease.

2. Grease the guide bearings.

Note:

The bearings must be greased every 100km (62mi) of travel, depending on usage. This

may range between one and two years. The following table lists more information about

the grease to be used.
