7.5 Shutting down / dismantling
If a linear unit is installed in an oblique or vertical position, the guide carriage drive must be se-
cured against slipping during dismantling. The system is to be freed from any loads or forces.
Following a collision, the track guide tapped spindle, guide nut and guide slide have to be re-
placed - even if there is no visible damage.
Spare parts information is to be taken from the spare parts list for the relevant linear unit type.
7.6 Disposal and return
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.
The manufacturer reserves the right to charge for disposing of this linear unit.
Before starting any work on the linear unit, any electric drives used must be prevented
from accidental switching on.
