and equipment.
The product specified here may become unsafe if handled incorrectly.
The assembly, operation and maintenance of machines or equipment
including our products must be performed by an operator who is
appropriately trained and experienced.
• Do not service or attempt to remove product
machinery/equipment until safety is confirmed.
1) The inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only
be performed after measures to prevent falling or runaway of the driven
objects have been confirmed.

2) When the product is to be removed, confirm that the safety measures
as mentioned above are implemented and the power from any
appropriate source is cut, and read and understand the specific product
precautions of all relevant products carefully.
3) Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent
unexpected operation and malfunction.
• Contact SMC beforehand and take special consideration of safety
measures if the product is to be used in any of the following
conditions.
1) Conditions and environments outside of the given specifications, or
use outdoors or in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
2) Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railways,
air navigation, space, shipping, vehicles, military, medical treatment,
combustions and recreation, or equipment in contact with food and
beverages, emergency stop circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press
applications, safety equipment or other applications unsuitable for the
standard specification described in the product catalogue.
3) An application which could have negative effects on people, property,
or animals requiring special safety analysis outside the scope of ISO
13849 described in this document.
4) Use in an interlock circuit, which requires the provision of double
interlock for possible failure by using a mechanical protective function,
and periodical checks to confirm proper operation.
• Always ensure compliance with relevant safety laws and standards.
All electrical work must be carried out in a safe manner by a qualified
person in compliance with applicable national regulations.

3 Installation
3.1 Installation
Warning
• Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read
and understood.
• Line up tools with width across flats on the body and tighten firmly.
3.2 Environment
Warning
• Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt
water or steam are present.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight. Use a suitable protective cover.
• Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact Check the
product specifications.
• Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat.
3.3 Piping
Caution
• Before piping make sure to clean up chips, cutting oil, dust etc.
Critical
• When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not enter
pressure ratio
inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1.5 to 2 threads exposed on
the end of the pipe/fitting.
• Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.
3.4 Lubrication
0.25
Caution
• SMC products have been lubricated for life at manufacture, and do not
require lubrication in service.
• If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (no additive),
ISO VG32. Once lubricant is used in the system, lubrication must be
continued because the original lubricant applied during manufacturing
will be washed away.
