During operation, please be aware of the following:
• Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven running. Stop the actuator immediately if anything unusual is observed.
• Do not sideload the actuator.
• Only use the actuator within the specified working limits.
• Do not step or kick on the actuator.
When the equipment is not in use:
• Switch off the mains supply in order to prevent unintentional operation.
• Check regularly for extraordinary wear.
Classification
The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Do not sideload the actuator.
• When mounting the LA36 in the application ensure that the bolts can withstand the wear and that they are secured safely.
• If irregularities are observed, the actuator must be replaced.
Recommendations
• Do not place load on the actuator housing and do prevent impact or blows, or any other form of stress to the housing.
• Ensure that the cable cover is mounted correctly. Use 3.5 Nm torque.
• Ensure that the duty cycle and the usage temperatures for LA36 actuators are respected.
• Ensure that the cable cannot be squeezed, pulled or subjected to any other stress.
• Furthermore, it will be good practice to ensure that the actuator is fully retracted in the “normal” position. The reason is that there will be a vacuum inside the
actuator if it is extended which over time can lead to water entering the actuator.
• If the actuator (without integrated controller) is mounted in an application where a mechanical stop prevents the endstop switches in the actuator from being
activated, the actuator must be equipped with an electrical safety device (current monitoring) or external limit switch.
