Lubrication specifications
FRUs are typically lubricated as needed from the factory. If not, then lubricate only when parts are replaced or as needed, not on a scheduled basis. Use of lubricants other than those specified can cause premature failure. Some unauthorized lubricants may chemically attack parts. Use P/N 99A0394 (Nyogel 744) to lubricate appropriate areas. Lubricate gears that were lubricated in the original part.
