MAINTENANCE SEQUENCE

Perform the following operations on a 

work bench 
Remove the two half rings at the top 

of the center rod. 
Pay attention to the center rod 

because it is free to slip off the base

Unscrew the 3 screws on the base 

and lift the base-stem block. 

Clean the old lubricant from the roller 

bearings; check the well-being of the 

stem where the bearings slide; clean 

the screw-holes on the base, the 

screws and the washers.
(When re-mounting, it will be 

necessary to put new grease on all 

these parts, including the screws’ 

threads. 
The Antal Hydrolub Grease also 

serves the function of protection of 

the aluminum from the risk of galvanic 

corrosion.)

Now, simply remove the center rod.

Clean the old lubricant from all parts. 
Lift the roller bearings, the spacers (in 

case of presence) and the  washers. 

Carefully clean all these parts with a 

soft bristle brush and solvent.
The cleaning of the gear section 

and of the gears at the base of the 

center rod does not require further 

dismanteling. 
It will be enough to use a soft bristle 

brush and solvent.
