The running surfaces of the upper four and lower two rollers of the Heavy-Duty carrier and the running surfaces of the Heavy-Duty guide rails must be lubricated. This is done by four upper and two lower lubrication pads. The Heavy-Duty carrier pads are delivered filled with lubricant and must be filled regularly.
The Heavy-Duty guide rails are lubricated via the Heavy-Duty carriers. Execute a Heavy-Duty carrier lubrication run on the Heavy-Duty guide rails after cleaning the rails.
For more Information, refer to Information About Lubrication.
Incorrect lubricants may damage the Heavy-Duty carriers and the Heavy-Duty guide rails. Insufficient lubrication or incorrect lubricants increase wear and reduce the service life.

Action |
---|---|
1 |
In the housing, a Heavy-Duty carrier has four lubrication nipples to fill the four lubrication pads. Each lubrication pad has its own lubrication nipple. Press the nozzle of a single-hand lubrication gun in a right angle against one of the lubrication nipples and inject the lubricant. |
2 |
To fill the lubrication pads use one stroke of the lubrication gun.
NOTE: The lubrication process has to be done slowly. Use approximately one minute for the stroke to be sure that the oil has soaked up by the lubrication pad.
|
3 |
Proceed in this way to fill the two upper and the two lower lubrication pads. |
4 |
On the rotatable upper arms, there are also lubrication pads. Loosen the two screws on each rotatable upper arm. Then, dismount the brackets with the lubrication pads. |
5 |
To fill the lubrication pads use one stroke of the lubrication gun directly on the pad.
NOTE: The lubrication process has to be done slowly. Use approximately one minute for the stroke to be sure that the oil has soaked up by the lubrication pad.
|
6 |
Mount the two brackets with the lubrication pads again and insert the 4 screws. Tighten the screws with 1 Nm (8.85 lbf-in). |
