While lubrication of the Fast and Slow Axis is very important, it is equally important not to over-grease the

bearings when lubricating. Only a very small amount of grease is required to keep these parts working opti-

mally. Using too much grease will create a situation where the grease will leach onto the Fast Axis and

buildup on the bumpers located at each end of the Fast Axis. When this happens, you need to clean the

Fast Axis rails and bumpers. See Section 8.8.4 for instructions on how to clean these components.

The following sections detail the instructions for lubrication and cleaning maintenance when the need

arises.
