7.5 Shutting down/dismantling
If a linear unit is installed in an oblique or vertical position, the guidance slot drive must be secured
against slipping during dismantling. The system is to be freed from any loads or forces.
Following a collision, the tapped spindle, guide nut, track rail guide and guide carriage have to be
replaced – even if there is no visible damage. Spare parts information is to be taken from the spa-
re parts list for the relevant linear unit type.
7.6 Disposal and returns
The linear unit must either be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way according to the ap-
plicable policies and regulations, or returned to the manufacturer.
Before starting any work on the linear unit, any electrical drives used are to be pro-
tected against accidental switching on.
