Hydraulic Linear Drive - Installation Guide
•
Structural strength:
•
This drive produces a considerable amount of force, so you
must mount it on a solid structure (i.e. a substantial frame
member) in the boat. In some cases it may be necessary to
build a specially strengthened frame to mount the drive unit.
•
To prevent excess noise and vibration, do not attach this drive
to any structures that support cabins.
•
Drive orientation:
•
You must mount the hydraulic ram horizontally with its
mounting foot on a horizontal surface (see Figure 6). The
swivel joint does not have sufficient movement to position the
mounting foot vertically.
•
General position:
•
Refer to the EMC installation guidelines (page 6)
•
Make sure the drive will be accessible for future servicing.
•
Environment:
•
This drive is not waterproof, so you should mount it in a dry
location, clear of any bilge water.
