4.4.6 Hand wind mounting and operation considerations (optional feature)
1. Make sure when mounting the actuator that there is space enough between the rear adapter and any
object behind it to allow the hand wind to be operated!
2. To be able to operate the hand wind, remove the cover plug placed over the hand wind input.
3. Next, move the extension tube by turning the hand wind input hexagon socket (a) using a 6 mm
hexagon key (b).
4. The maximum torque required to move the extension tube at the fully rated actuator load using the
hand wind is typically 1.5 - 2.5 Nm (13 - 22 in-lb) depending of the model.
• Always make sure to switch off the power to the actuator before using the hand wind.
• Do not apply higher torque than 5 Nm (44 in-lb) to the hand wind input.
• Stop running the extension tube immediately if the slip clutch (see section 4.4.5) is engaged.
• Never use any type of drill or power tool to operate the hand wind.
