5.5 Installation Steps
5.5.1 Mounting the Stand (Actuator on Base)
The base must be bolted to your workbench to prevent tipping or undesired movement.
Four mounting bolt holes are provided at the corners of the casting, and will accept your
3/8 inch or M10 cap screws. Use flat washers against the metal casting to prevent
gouging. Refer to Figure 5.7.
1. Ensure there are no overhead obstructions and that no pinch or rub points exist. Remember that
the actuator is taller than the column when fully raised, and there are exposed connections
2. Mount the base to your workbench using four socket-head cap screws (customer provided, 3/8
inch or M10). Use flat washers against the metal casting to prevent gouging. The use of nylon
lock nuts with your cap screws is suggested, to reduce loosening due to vibration and movement
3. Connect factory air to the air hose on the stand (3/8 NPT male fitting on the hose). A quick-
disconnect fitting is suggested. Use a lockout device on the air line if required
4. Verify the base/start switch control cable is properly connected to the back of actuator
5. Verify the linear encoder connector is properly connected to the back of the actuator
6. Verify earth ground is connected with #8 gauge wire to the ground terminal on the rear of the
actuator
CAUTION
This product is heavy and can cause a pinching or crushing injury
during installation or adjustment. Keep clear of moving parts and do
not loosen clamps unless directed to do so.
CAUTION
You must secure the base to your work surface using four bolts, to
prevent tipping or undesired movement, in the event the actuator is
moved off-center or rotated around the column.
