Warning
Uncontrolled moving masses can cause injury to people or damage to property (squeez­
ing). If a toothed belt breaks in combination with a vertically or diagonally installed EGC,
the work mass will fall down.
In case of signs of wear, return the EGC to Festo for repairs.
Controller signals can cause the EGC to make unintended movements.
Switch off the controller for all maintenance work on the EGC and secure it to pre­
vent it from being restarted unintentionally.

If required, clean the guide axis with a soft cloth. All media gentle to the material may be used as
cleaning agents.
