EdEx thrusters are reliable electro-hydraulic machines for use in
industrial systems. They are state of the art.
The generally applicable regulations and other binding directives
regarding health and safety, accident prevention and environmental
protection must be adhered to.
The following safety regulations must be adhered to before beginning
any work on EdEx thrusters:

Ensure that the industrial system is shut down

De-energise the system

Safeguard the system to prevent it being switched on again

Test to ensure a de-energised state

Cover or isolate adjacent live parts

The EdEx thruster must be able to swivel, transverse forces must
not act on the lifting rod

Keep the terminal box clean and close it tightly

Ensure that the seals are correctly seated and undamaged

Check the tightness and correct installation of the cable entry

The intervals for renewing the operating fluid must be observed.

The brake must not have its own spring or weight load if the
EdEx thruster has an integrated brake spring (⇒type plate,
designation C...).

If the EdEx thruster is retrospectively painted, it is essential to
protect the lifting rod and the sealing system to prevent leakage

The maximum permissible layer thickness (subsequent coating)
according to ATEX approval must not be exceeded (if necessary,
consult the manufacturer

Regular cleaning must be carried out to prevent dust deposits
with a layer thickness of more than 5 mm.

The EdEx thrusters may only come into contact with substances
that do not impair the properties of the thruster materials.
