Remarks and Precautions

Overview

1. Technical Specifications
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The SDS-C301N is a lid stay designed for upward-opening doors, suitable for applications such as toy boxes. Its primary function is to provide controlled opening and closing of a lid, preventing it from sagging and ensuring smooth operation. The device is designed to be installed on the inside of a cabinet or box, connecting the lid to the side or top board.

Technical Specifications:

The SDS-C301N is designed to handle a specific range of door weights and heights. The manual provides a detailed "Door Weight Range Per pair, in Lbs" table, which is crucial for determining if the SDS-C301N is the correct stay for a given door. This table specifies minimum and maximum door weights for various door heights, ranging from 8 inches to 26 inches.

For example:

• An 8-inch high door can support a weight range of 17.5 to 30.0 lbs (per pair).
• A 12-inch high door can support a weight range of 11.7 to 20.0 lbs (per pair).
• A 20-inch high door can support a weight range of 7.0 to 12.0 lbs (per pair).
• A 26-inch high door can support a weight range of 5.4 to 9.2 lbs (per pair).

It's important to note that if only one stay is used, the weight range supported will be half of what is shown in the table. For doors outside the recommended weight range, users are advised to contact Sugatsune for assistance. The opening angle for the lid stay is specified as 80° to 100°.

Usage Features:

Installation of the SDS-C301N involves several steps:

1. Position and Install Mounting Plates: The placement of the mounting plate and arm fixing plate depends on the hinge type and coverage. The manual provides diagrams for various hinge types, including:

   • Inset Concealed Hinge (Euro Hinge)
   • Overlay Concealed Hinge (Euro Hinge)
   • Inset Single Knuckle (Piano, Butt, etc.) Hinge
   • Overlay Single Knuckle (Piano, Butt, etc.) Hinge

   For right-hand side mounting, an arrow labeled "R" on the "US" side of the mounting plate should point upward vertically. For left-hand side mounting, an arrow labeled "L" on the "US" side should point upward vertically. All diagrams in the manual illustrate right-side mounting. The mounting plate and arm fixing plate are secured using supplied screws.

   Detailed dimensions for mounting are provided for each hinge type and opening angle (80°, 90°, 100°). For instance, for an "Inset Concealed Hinge (Euro Hinge)" with a 90-degree opening:

   • The arm fixing plate is positioned 4-13/32" (112mm) from the top board.
   • The mounting plate is 5-25/32" (147mm) from the top board.
   • The distance from the door edge to the center of the arm fixing plate is 1-17/64" (32mm).
   • The distance from the side board edge to the center of the arm fixing plate is 13/32" (10.5mm).

   Similar detailed measurements (A, B, D, E, G) are provided for other hinge types and opening angles, indicating distances from the top board, back board, and door edges to the mounting plate and arm fixing plate.

2. Install the Main Body:

   • The "key" of the arm is inserted into the arm fixing plate. The main body must be positioned at a 90-degree angle against the fixing angle.
   • The main body is then turned 90 degrees, and the center gear of the mounting plate is inserted into the hole of the main body.
   • Finally, the main body is fixed with a bind screw.

3. Adjustment and Operation: If the lid stay is sagging (indicated as 'A' in the diagram), the adjustment screw ('Z') at the base of the arm should be turned until the lid stay straightens (indicated as 'B'). Once adjusted, the lid can be closed by gently pushing down on it. It is crucial not to apply additional pressure to the lid when closing, as this may damage the stay.

Maintenance Features:

The manual outlines important remarks regarding the care and use of the SDS-C301N:

• No Disassembly or Modification: Users are explicitly warned not to attempt to disassemble or modify the lid stay, as this could lead to serious damage and/or injury.
• Environmental Considerations: For installations in extreme environments (e.g., high temperature, high humidity), users should contact Sugatsune for technical assistance before installation.
• Intended Use: The product is developed specifically as a lid stay. Other applications are not recommended.

In summary, the SDS-C301N is a specialized lid stay designed for controlled upward opening of doors, with specific weight and height limitations. Its installation requires careful adherence to detailed measurements based on hinge type, and its operation includes an adjustment mechanism for optimal performance. Proper use and avoidance of modification are emphasized for safety and longevity.
