Lubrication
There are several library components that require lubrication. Use the following
procedures and the appropriate figures to lubricate each identified component.
▼
To Lubricate the X-Axis and Y-Axis Rails
See
FIGURE 2-2
on page 28.
1. Lightly apply a very thin coating of permeable lubricant (supplied in PM kit) to
the length of the x-axis rail and the y-axis rail.
2. Move the x-axis and y-axis assemblies through their complete range of travel to
distribute lubrication.
3. A light coating of lubricant should be present on the x-axis rail and the y-axis rail.
Remove excess lubricant.
▼
To Lubricate the Extension Axis Rail and
Gripper Cross-Shaft
See
FIGURE 2-3
on page 30.
1. Lightly apply a very thin coating of permeable lubricant (supplied in PM kit) to
the length of the extension axis rail.
2. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the gripper cross-shaft at its three contact
points with the driver link and upper jam jaw.
Caution –
Excess lubricant on the gripper cross-shaft may result in debris falling
onto the bar code scanner.
Caution –
Do NOT apply lubricant to the extension axis follower rail. Applying
lubricant to the extension axis follower rail damages it.
3. A light coating of lubricant should be present on the extension axis rail and the
gripper cross-shaft. Remove excess lubricant.
