６) Do not wipe off the grease attached on the sliding face of the cylinder.
If the grease is removed from the sliding part of the cylinder forcibly, a malfunction could be caused.
When the cylinder is operated for a long distance, its sliding parts can become blackened. In that case, to
keep the cylinder operating, wipe off the grease from the sliding part once and then add new grease
again. (When the grease is wiped off, use water. If it is wiped off with alcohol or special solvent, the
packing could be damaged.)
７） Before piping
Before piping, it should be thoroughly blown out with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil
and other debris from inside the pipe.
８） Wrapping of pipe tape
When screwing piping or fitting into ports, ensure that chips from the pipe threads or sealing material do
not get inside the piping.
Also, when the pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridges exposed at the end of the threads.

３－２．Operating Environment
Warning
１） Do not use in atmosphers or locations where corrosion hazards exist.
Refer to the construction drawings regarding cylinder materials.
２) In dusty locations or where water or oil, etc., splash on the equipment, take suitable
measures to protect the rod.
３) Avoid highly humid places for storage of the cylinder.
When the cylinder is stored, avoid humidity to prevent the occurrence of rust and keep the piston rod
retracted.
４） When using auto switches, do not operate in an environment with strong magnetic fields.
