1.3 Notes on possible property damage
NOTICE
!
Risk of actuator damage due to incorrectly attached slings.
Î Do not attach load-bearing slings to the handwheel or travel stop.
Risk of actuator damage due to excessively high or low tightening torques.

ing torques lead to parts wearing out more quickly. Parts that are not tightened far
enough may loosen.

Risk of actuator damage due to the use of unsuitable tools.
Certain tools are required to work on the actuator.
Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON (uAB0100).
Risk of actuator damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants.
The lubricants to be used depend on the actuator material. Unsuitable lubricants may
corrode and damage surfaces.
Î Only use lubricants approved by SAMSON (uAB0100).
1.4 Warnings on the device
Warning Meaning of the warning Location on the device
Warning to indicate that the springs in the
actuator are preloaded.
Actuators with preloaded springs are under
tension. Incorrect opening of the actuator can lead
to personal injury through the sudden and
uncontrolled projection of parts.
Before starting any work on the actuator, relieve
the compression from the preloaded springs. See
'Relieving the spring compression in the actuator'
in the 'Removal' section.
