Warning!
If the actuator or lifting column is used for pull in an application where personal injury can occur, the following is valid:
It is the application manufacturer’s responsibility to incorporate a suitable safety arrangement, which will prevent personal injury from
occurring, if the actuator should fail.
Warning!
Note that during construction of applications, in which the actuator is to be fitted, there must be no possibility of personal injury, for
example the squeezing of fingers or arms.
Warning!
The plastic parts in the system cannot tolerate cutting oil.
Warning!
Assure free space for movement of application in both directions to avoid blockade
Warning!
Uninstructed personell must not operate the application or the actuator
Warning!
In the event of blockage by an obsticle when application is moving inwards, removing the obsticle will cause the load to drop until
spindle hits the nut
Warning!
Do not turn outer tube
Warning!
Do not use chemicals, and inspect yearly for damage and wear.
Warnings!
LINAK’s actuators and electronics are not constructed for use within the following fields:
• Planes and other aircrafts
• Explosive environments
• Nuclear power generation
Warning!
LINAK recommends that the actuators should be used in push applications, rather than pull applications.
If the actuator is used for push in an application where personal injury can occur (e.g. patient hoists), a special safety nut must be used.
Except for the LA34 which can be used for both push or pull applications, if mounted with safety nuts in both directions.
Warning!
• If faults are observed, the products must be replaced.
• Never spray directly on the products with a highpressure cleaner.
Warning!
A LINAK control box, actuator and accessory component must, in the final application, be placed where it is not imposed to any impact.
This is to prevent damage by accidentally being struck by an object in the hand of a passer-by or by a broomstick or a mop handle during
cleaning the floor. On a medical bed e.g. this might be underneath the mattress support platform. If necessary to mitigate this risk,
additional protection might be required.
Warning!
Do not shorten the battery, other loads than self-discharge flatten the battery and cause formation of lead sulphate, which, if left in this
state for too long, will irreversibly damage the battery. Avoid bad impact on individuals and environment.
Warning!
Prevent foreign objects or persons from unintentionally activating a footswitch or a hand control at any time e.g. during normal use or
maintenance.
A hand control could be activated by squeezing e.g. between the mattress and the bed frame/rails or when it hangs on an application that is
activated by moving another application into it or by moving the application into something else, e.g. a wall, furniture, another application etc.
Warning!
Handle batteries carefully.
LINAK battery packs may emit hydrogen gas. So do not bring fire or a heated object close to the battery pack, and never use the battery
near a spark, fuses and/or equipment that emits sparks. Further, do not store the battery in a closed environment or incorporate it into a
closed structure of an enclosure. Doing so can cause an explosion, fire, equipment damage and bodily injury.
Residual risk
Some of the products contains software based components. LINAK has done various possible efforts to assure that the software is free of
errors and that the software has been developed according to the rules of IEC 60601-1-4 (software in Medical products). That involves risk
analysis which shows a small residual risk for unwanted/unintended mow of actuators under specific conditions.
According to the above rules it must be informed and if nescessary considered in the risk analysis of the final application - More details to
residual risk can be provided by LINAK if nescessary.
