9. Maintenance and Inspection
Checkpoint 1:
Check if the clearance between the top face of the stainless sheet and the back of the
clearance-checking tool falls within the specified range along the entire stroke.
Checkpoint 2:
Look through the peripheral openings and confirm that the
stainless sheet edges do not contact the slider body.
Move the slider back and forth at least three times over the
entire stroke to ensure the edges do not contact the slider.
The sheet may move during the slider strokes, but slight
movement is acceptable as long as the offset does not increase
and the sheet does not contact the slider.
If the stainless sheet contacts the slider, repeat the adjustment
from [1].
The stainless sheet is not perfectly straight, but it bends to the
right and left slightly.
It is impossible to adjust the right and left clearances perfectly
uniform.
Slight variation in clearance in the stroke direction or between
the right and left is acceptable, as long as the stainless sheet
edges do not contact the slider body over the entire stroke.

[3] Move the slider and check the tension of the stainless sheet along the entire stroke.
If the conditions in Checkpoints 1 and 2 are not satisfied, loosen the screws and readjust the position and tension
of the stainless sheet again from [1].
Caution If the condition in Checkpoint 2 cannot be met after the readjustment, try installing the
stainless sheet in the reverse direction or placing it upside down. If the stainless sheet is still
not adjusted properly, replace it with a new sheet.
