The following qualifications are specified for different areas Rotating and/or linearly moving components can cause serious of activity listed in the manual. injury. Therefore, follow the precautions below: • An instructed person (Operator), has been instructed by the owner in an orientation session • Do not work on or place any of your body, hands, or arms near on the assigned tasks and possible dangers in case of im- moving components.
The following safety features may have been installed: In its standard version, the actuator features a thermal switch protection integrated into the motor housing. This switch protects the motor from overheating. CAUTION To prevent damage from overheating, do not try to operate actuator until its temperature has fallen below the threshold for the switch to operate (95 °C) . 2.6 Changes and modifications on the actuator WARNING To avoid hazardous situations and to ensure optimal performance, do not make any changes or modifications to the actuator unless they have been specifically authorized by Ewellix.

C A H B -1 0 s e r i e s WARNING Risk of injury and material damage due to incorrect installation! During installation, do not subject the actuator to side-impact or to turning forces. 3. During installation, make sure that the linear actuator is not blocked in its movement over the entire stroke. 4. During installation, be sure that the motor cable is not squeezed, clamped or pulled. 5. Connect linear actuator to power supply (⮑ 6.4 Con- nect to power supply, page 16).

During normal operation, the linear actuator lifts and lowers the elements that are connected with the CAHB-10 linear ac- CAUTION tuator via the hinge head. Risk of injury through contact with the hinge head!
C A H B -1 0 s e r i e s 7.4 Disengagement in case of emergency In hazardous situations, all movements of the actuator must be stopped as quickly as possible and the power supply must be turned off. Proceed as follows in hazardous situations: 1. Immediately engage emergency shut-off, if present, or cut off power for actuator. 2. Evacuate people from the hazard zone and initiate first aid measures.
If the linear actuator is used outside of the environmental conditions Wrong or faulty spare parts can adversely affect safety and cause specified earlier in this manual, check such components once a damage, malfunctions or total failure. month for any changes such as oxidation or sedimentation. Therefore, follow the precautions below: • Spare parts in/on the actuator may only be replaced by Ewellix. The actuator must be dismounted and sent to the manufac- turer to replace any spare parts.
Damage due to incorrect cleaning! Therefore, follow the precautions below: • Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents. Water used for clean- ing including chemical additives must be pH-neutral. • Liquids must not touch the actuator during the retraction or ex- tension. • Only use additional cleaning materials listed by the Ewellix. • No steam jets or pressure washers may be used to clean. • Other cleaning agents or cleaning devices may only be utilized with the manufacturer’s approval. Clean line actuator: 1. Separate the actuator from the energy supply. 2. Clean dirty parts with a damp cloth.
Fig. 9 1. Check connecting cables for cracks, cuts and pinched sections 2. Check hinge hole for cracks, deformation and broken pieces 3. Check stainless steel tube for scratches and in- dentations 3. Notify processor or Ewellix in case of damage 4. If there is no damage and the processors/manufacturer has not communicated any concerns, reconnect the ac- tuator to the power supply. 8.4 Measures after completed maintenance Upon completion of the maintenance, the following steps have to be performed prior to restarting the device. 1. Ensure that all tools, material and other equipment used during maintenance have been removed from the work area.
Risk of injury and device damage due to incorrect repair of malfunction Therefore, follow the precautions below: • Never loosen the screws on the device or try to open it. • In the event of a malfunction that cannot be fixed by following the steps in the malfunction table in this operating manual, dismantle the actuator and send it to Ewellix for repair (⮑ 5.0 Transport, packaging and storage, page 13).
