Maintenance 

4.

 

The HDZ is pretty much maintenance-free. We recommend keeping it as dust-free as possible. A quick coat of 
synthetic oil (such as Mobil Vactra No. 2 Oil) on the rails and ball screw every 6 months. All the parts are 
rubber-sealed. You can also inject oil by removing the central M4 screw from the end of a bearing block and 
injecting machine grease through a syringe.
