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.
Caution

3 Installation
3.1 Installation
Warning
Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been
read and understood.
When mounting, please firmly align the tool with the hexagon width
across flats of the pilot body. If the hexagon width across flats is
damaged as a result of failure to properly align the tool, the pilot body
will be deformed, and poor pilot operation may result.
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.
When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not
enter inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1thread exposed
on the end of the pipe/fitting.
Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.
If moisture enters the inside of the connecting piping, the cover may
corrode, and it may lead to a pilot operation malfunction.
3.4 Lubrication
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.
