5.5 EXLAR® Actuator Maintenance
!
Alpine recommends wearing disposable Nitrile gloves when
completing the actuator maintenance.
The EXLAR actuator will need to be lubricated according
to the maintenance interval schedule (Appendix A).
To perform maintenance the actuator will need to be
removed and moved to a clean location. To grease the
components correctly the procedure from the EXLAR
Manual Section 3.6 (I-Series Motor Mount Roller Screw
Actuators Installation & Service Manual) will need to be
followed. Then, the actuator can be re-installed.
