x
Check the stainless sheet for slacking every month and if any slack is found, adjust the stainless sheet until it
is not longer slacked.
x
As a rough guide, the life of the stainless sheet corresponds to a travelled distance of 5,000 km.
x
However, replace the stainless sheet before its life is reached, if deemed necessary depending on the
condition of use.
x
As a rule, the customer must bring the actuator to IAI, or IAI’s service personnel must visit the customer’s site,
to replace the stainless sheet.
x
If the actuator is affixed vertically, grease applied to the guide may drip depending on the environment. In this
case, clean the dripped grease and grease supply as necessary.
