Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if
not avoided, may result in minor or moderate personal
injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Install the equipment in a specified manner.
● Carry out assembly precisely in the specified order
according to the catalog.
● Observe our recommended tightening methods (such
as bolts used).
● Operating the equipment without precise assembly can
cause troubles such as generation of vibration,
reduction of life, deterioration of precision and
breakdown. Use the specified lubricant.
Use the specified lubricant.
● Using other lubricant than our recommended products
can reduce the life. Replace the lubricant in a specified
condition.
● Grease is sealed in a unit product. Do not mix other
kinds of grease.
Apply torque within the allowable range.
● Do not apply torque exceeding the instantaneous
allowable max. torque. Applying excess torque can
cause troubles such as loose tightening bolts,
generation of backlash and breakdown.
● Striking an arm directly attached to the output shaft can
damage the arm and make the output shaft
uncontrollable.
Do not break down unit products.
● Do not break down and reassemble unit products.
Original performance may not be reproduced.
Treatment of waste oil and containers
● Treatment methods are obliged by law. Treat wastes
appropriately according to the law. If you are unsure
how to treat them, you should consult with the dealer
