Slider Rods Lubrification Kit

Preventive Maintenance

NOTE

In addition to the wearing of the Scan-Axis Motor, the friction in this area can increase due to the accumulation of ink particles and dust from the media or the atmosphere in the vicinity of the Slider Rods.

Scan-Axis maintenance requires the cleaning of the Slider Rods properly, and a lubricant to apply onto the Rods. Use the User’s Slider Rods Lubrification Kit to do this.

The most important parts to keep clean are the upper and internal sides of the Rods.
