Precautions
Piping
- 1. Do not force a connection in a way that lateral force is applied to the cylinder tube. This could cause the cylinder tube to become slanted and malfunction.
Mounting
- 1. Do not use in a way that applies a load to the piston rod during retraction. The spring built in to the cylinder only has the force to return the piston rod and so the piston rod will not return as far as the stroke end if a load is applied.
- 2. Do not install by directly grasping the cylinder tube. This could cause the tube to deform and malfunction.
