LINAK provides a warranty on all its products. This warranty, however, is subject to correct use in accordance with the specifications, maintenance being done correctly and any repairs being carried out at a service centre, which is authorised to repair LINAK products.
LINAK shall be responsible solely that LINAK products comply with the specifications set out by LINAK and it shall be the responsibility of the LINAK customer to ensure that the specific LINAK product can be used for the application in question.
Chapter 1 Safety instructions Please read this safety information carefully: Be aware of the following three symbols throughout the user manual: Warning! Failing to follow these instructions can cause accidents resulting in serious personal injury. Recommendations Failing to follow these instructions can result in the actuator suffering damage or being ruined.

• Only use the actuator within specified working limits. • 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.
In applications with high dynamic forces LINAK recommends not to use the fully extended or retracted position over longer time, as this can damage the endstop system permanently.
Page 10
It is the application manufacturer’s responsibility to incorporate a suitable safety arrangement, which will prevent personal injury from occurring, if the actuator should fail Warning! LINAK’s actuators are not designed for use within the following fields: • Offshore installations •...
1.5 ± 0.3 Nm TORX 25IP When changing the cables on a LINAK actuator, it is important that this is done carefully, in order to protect the plugs and pins. Before the new cable is mounted, we recommend that the socket is greased with vaseline, to keep the high IP protection and ensure an easy mounting.
