10. MAINTENANCE
OMAL actuator, if installed and used properly, does not require maintenance, as it is provided with enough lubrication for standard
long-life. During maintenance and reassembling, we recommend using, for standard version, TECNOLUBE SYNTHY POLYMER 402,
or equivalents. For low and high temperature actuators contact us.
The components for the actuator maintenance are supplied in the OMAL spare part kit (see section 9 exploded views).
OMAL declines any responsibility for the products repaired by third parties
