#16449


Any suggestions with what's going on in the RA? This keeps on happening. The chart settles down a bit and then wanders off. Never had this problem in summers. Imaging on concrete. Have had this trouble 3 days in a row with lot of subs going to waste.

It's cold outside. About -10C. Is it the grease?

I had issues with my iEXOS-100 while it had the factory grease. I ended up cleaning out all of the factory grease and replacing it with super-lube, which handles the cold much better. It has also run smoother during the summer, so I don't think it would be necessary to have separate greases for summer and winter.
