Linak LA36

Page 8 of 76
During operation, please be aware of the following:
• Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven running. Stop the actuator immediately
if anything unusual is observed.
• Do not sideload the actuator.
• Use only the actuator within the specified working limits.
• Do not step or kick on the actuator.
When the equipment is not in use:
• Switch off the mains supply in order to prevent unintentional operation.
• Check regularly for extraordinary wear.
Classification
The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with
air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Warnings:
• Do not sideload the actuator.
• Only use the actuator within specified working limits.
• When mounting the LA36 in the application ensure that the bolts can withstand the wear
and that they are secured safely.
• If irregularities are observed, the actuator must be replaced.
Recommendations:
• Do not place load on the actuator housing and do prevent impact or blows, or any other form
of stress to the housing.
• Ensure that the cable cover is mounted correctly. Use 1.5Nm torque.
• Ensure that the duty cycle and the usage temperatures for LA36 actuators are respected.
• Ensure that the cable cannot be squeezed, pulled or subjected to any other stress.
• Furthermore, it will be good practice to ensure that the actuator is fully retracted in the
“normal” position. The reason is that there will be a vacuum inside the actuator if it is
extended which over time can lead to water entering the actuator.
• If the actuator (without integrated controller) is mounted in an application where a mechani-
cal stop prevents the endstop switches in the actuator from being activated, the actuator must
be equipped with an electrical safety device (current monitoring) or external limit switch.
