Precautions in Handling
1. Handling of the Packed Product
Take the greatest care in transporting the product, not to bump or drop it.
• An operator should never attempt to carry a heavy package on his own.
• When setting down the package temporarily, keep it horizontal.
• Do not step on the package.
• Do not place on the package a heavy object that may cause the box deformation or apply
stress on it.
2. Handling of the Unpacked Product
Do not transport the actuator by holding the cable or move it by pulling the cable.
• When the actuator is taken out from the package and handled, hold the base section.
• When the stainless sheet is attached, never hold the stainless sheet section.
• When transporting the actuator, be careful not to hit it against other objects. In particular,
pay attention to the side cover.
• Do not give any unnatural force to any of the sections in the actuator. In particular, pay
attention not to apply any force on the stainless steel sheet if the actuator is equipped with
the stainless steel sheet.
Environments for Installation, Storage and Preservation
1. Installation Environment
Please attempt to avoid installing the product to such places as listed below.
It is generally the environment where a worker can work without any protection gear.
Also, make sure to keep enough space necessary for maintenance work.
• Place where exposed to radiant heat from a huge heat source such as heat treatment
• Place where the ambient temperature goes out of the applicable range from 0 to 40°C
• Place where condensation would occur due to sudden temperature change
• Place where the relative humidity exceeds 85% RH
• Place where exposed to the direct sunlight
• Place where corrosive gas or flammable gas exist
• Place where it contains a lot of dust, salt or iron (Outside of an ordinary assembly plant)
• Place where water, oil (includes oil mist and cutting fluid) or chemical is splashed
• Place where the product main body receives vibration or hit impact
• Place with an altitude of 2,000m or more
Make sure to have a treatment for blocking when using in the following conditions:
• Place where noise is generated by such facts as static electricity
• Place where exposed to the influence of strong electric or magnetic field
• Place where exposed to the influence of ultraviolet or radiant rays
2. Storage and Preservation Environment
• The storage and preservation environment should comply with the same standards as
those for the installation environment. In particular, when the machine is to be stored for a
long time, pay close attention to environmental conditions so that no dew condensation
forms.
• Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not included in the package
when the machine is delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored and preserved
in an environment where dew condensation is anticipated, take the condensation
preventive measures from outside of the entire package, or directly after opening the
package.
• For storage and preservation temperature, the machine withstands temperatures up to
60°C for a short time, but in the case of the storage and preservation period of 1 month or
more, control the temperature to 50°C or less.
• The product should be settled in the horizontal orientation while in storage and
reservation. In the case it is stored in the packaged condition, follow the posture
instruction if any displayed on the package.
