INSTALLATION
WARNING:
Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the linear actuator.
1. Please ensure the linear actuator shaft is fully "retracted". The term "retracted" in this manual
refers to the position in which there is no further movement towards the DC motor while the
actuator is powered on. (Please refer to Fig. 5 below).
Base End
Mounting Hole
2. The shaft and base end mounting holes of the linear actuator should be installed into 2
mounting brackets. Locations for these mounting brackets should be chosen according to
the stroke length of the linear actuator.
Caution must be taken to ensure that the two-way movement of the linear
actuator is smooth and unobstructed and no twisting or binding will occur.
3. After the mounting position has been selected remove and install the mountings brackets.
4. Place the linear actuator back in the brackets and install the pins/bolts through the shaft and
base end mounting holes. Lubricate the pins/bolts and make sure that they are not sticking
or binding.
5. The linear actuator should be installed in the horizontal position if it is going to be operated in
that direction and likewise for the vertical position.
6. Connect the linear actuator to the power source according to the instructions on page 2.
7. The linear actuator should be tested after it's installation is complete to ensure that:
• It's travel distance is meeting the requirements of the application
• The motor should stop when the shaft reaches the end of it's stroke when extending and
retracting
8.The installation is complete when all the above criteria are met.
MAINTENANCE
1. Store the linear actuator in a dry place and out of direct sunlight.
2. Clean the linear actuator with a dry cloth.
