clip and slowly move the transporter from the middle to the top of the
VAX linear rail, and then allow the transporter to slide down to its
resting position.
The VAX linear rail bearings will spread the grease along the rail.
Note: As you move the transporter, listen for any abnormal sounds (for
example, metal-on-metal grinding or screeching). Contact
Spectra Logic Technical Support if any abnormal sounds are
detected (see Spectra Logic Technical Support on page 2).
6. Any excess grease will gather at the top and bottom ends of the VAX
linear rail. Wipe away any excess grease with a lint-free cleaning wipe.
Note: Do not use alcohol.
