Performing a Maintenance Run

Depending on the operating conditions and the period of use of the L-406, the following
maintenance measures are required:
Maintenance run
The maintenance run serves the purpose of distributing the existing lubricant.
 After 500 operating hours or at least after 1 year, do a maintenance run over the entire
travel range, in order for the existing lubricant to be distributed evenly.
 If you move the L-406 continuously over a short travel range (<20 % of the entire travel
range) in industrial operation, do a run across the entire travel range every 2000 motion
cycles.
Lubrication
Under laboratory conditions, it is only necessary to relubricate the L-406 in exceptional cases.
For continuous industrial use, the lubrication intervals must be determined individually.
 If you have any questions on relubricating, contact our customer service department (p.
41).
