First home the machine, then move the X axis 24” to the right and the Y axis 10” to the back for
easy access to the grease points. Then open the grease gun packaging and assemble the gun
as shown in the picture below. Pump the grease gun until you see grease come out of the
nozzle. Push the nozzle firmly against the grease nipple in the guide block, squeeze the black
tube, and pump the grease gun a few times until you see grease ooze out of the sides of the
guide blocks.
For the ball screw, wear protective gloves and smear a 1” long line of grease directly on the ball
screw on each side of the ball screw nut.
Note: You will need to lubricate the X, Y1, Y2 and Z ball screws
Once grease has been inserted to all the guide blocks and ball screws, run the “Grease
Maintenance” Easel file to spread the grease within the internal components of the guide
blocks.
