Do not let any object or person come into contact with the fork head of the push tube when the motor is running. Hold the RUNNER™ only by the guide tube.
Structure and Function This chapter is intended for all users of the RUNNER™. It shows its structure and explains its function. Structure The following figure will give you an overview of the linear actuator. Overall view RUNNER™ baba Fig. 3-1 RUNNER™ Overall view...
An additional emergency limit switch de-energizes the linear actu- ator if one of the limit switches fails. Switching on the RUNNER™ again is then no longer possible and the actuator has to be returned to the manufacturer. (see Manufacturer...
IPX6S The linear actuator RUNNER™ can be optionally supplied with method of protection IPX6S. It is then also RUNNER™ protected from water sprays (also see 4. Normal Oper- ation, page 14). Accessories Control unit The linear actuator RUNNER™...
In normal operation, the linear actuator raises and lowers elements that are connected with the RUNNER™ through the two fork heads. Preconditions for operation Control of the RUNNER™ takes place through a Magnetic control unit (accessory). Switching on the linear actuator WARNING Warning of danger of crushing and damage to the RUNNER™...

Pull out the plug of the cable that connects the linear actuator to the control unit. Note: The RUNNER™does not have an on / off switch and must be separated from the power supply to the control unit. Only this measure will de-energize the RUN- NER™.
The linear actuator RUNNER™ is delivered as a unit in one box or in palettes. Contract a transportation company with the freight of the linear actuator.
Installing the linear actuator RUNNER™ on other elements (patient lift, etc.) involves tak- ing into account the special requirements of the different applications. The linear actuator RUNNER™ is fastened to two elements via the fork head and the hinge head.

Important: Magnetic Elektromotoren AG will not take any liability if the linear ac- tuator RUNNER™ is not used with a suitable Magnetic control unit / operating unit. Note: If the linear actuator RUNNER™ is used with an non Magnetic control unit, the control unit has to be equipped with an overcurrent protection in order to pro- tect the actuator against overload.
Installation and Initial Start-Up Initial Start-Up Perform the installation check before you initially start up the linear actuator RUNNER™. Installation Check WARNING Warning of danger of crushing and damage to the RUNNER™ owing to static and dynamic overloading of the linear actuator. When driving against fixed objects the impact of the force can cause per- sonal injury.
Maintenance plan The linear actuator RUNNER™is maintenance-free for life (the life-span is given in the AppendixOperations data, page 27)The connecting cable and the housing must be reg- ularly checked for wear.
Faults that occur in the linear actuatorRUNNER™ may only be rectified by a technician authorized by the manufacturer. In this case the RUNNER™ must be removed from ser- vice (see section Shutting down, page 25) and sent to the Magnetic Elektromotoren AG (see section Transport, page 16).

Sliding elements worn, immediately inform customer service (Manufacturer Address, page 6). Repair The linear actuator RUNNER™ is not designed for repair work. In any case, contact cus- tomer service (Manufacturer Address, page 6). Emergency lowering If there is excessive rotational force or extremely easy motion under nominal load (i.e.
Dismantling Before you start dismantling, put the linear drive RUNNER™ out of operation (see Shut- ting down, page 25). The linear actuator RUNNER™ is to be dismantled in the following sequence: Loosen the fastening bolt from the fastening strap of the fork and hinge head...
Removing from service, dismantling and disposal Disposal The actuator must be disposed of in a technically correct manner in accordance with local specifications. The plastic parts are marked with material specifications on the actual parts (except some of the smallest parts). Please find dismantling instructions and requirements for transport in their correspond- ing sections.
