What the thread found

• Contact cleaner with no residue can be used to clean the arm externally while it remains mounted, followed by application of ACF-50 lubricant.
• ACF-50 is the preferred lubricant for this equipment among experienced users.
• Tri-Flow can be used as an alternative lubricant when ACF-50 is unavailable, though it is less commonly recommended.
• The manufacturer typically requires sending the arm to their service center for maintenance rather than supporting field disassembly.
• Complete disassembly and maintenance documentation for field service has not been made publicly available despite being planned.

Depends on

• No official step-by-step disassembly instructions are available from the manufacturer.
• Experience with Tri-Flow as a substitute lubricant is anecdotal and not universally endorsed.
• Sending equipment to the manufacturer for maintenance is costly for users outside North America and Europe.
• The discussion does not provide confirmed methods for internal bearing cleaning through disassembly.
