#*Wipe linear rails clean with solvent degreaser (brake cleaner.) Do not move gantry or bearings onto cleaned section of rail until all solvent has evaporated to prevent contamination of bearing grease. | #*Wipe linear rails clean with solvent degreaser ([https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/certified-chlorinated-brake-cleaner-525-g-0381421p.html brake cleaner] - brake cleaner specifically because it is volatile and will evaporate out pretty fast, so it has 0% change of contaminating the bearings. General purpose degreasers may stick around on the railings and contaminate the bearings and compromise the lubricant) Do not move gantry or bearings onto cleaned section of rail until all solvent has evaporated to prevent contamination of bearing grease. | ||
