Make sure that the limit switch (optional) and end bearings are not
overrun.
Make sure that attachments do not collide with other parts.
Run the screw jack over the complete travel in both directions.
When doing this, comply with the following:
– Run the screw jack slowly and carefully.
– As far as possible, run it with no load or with only a small load.
– Current consumption should be within the normal range, and
should be constant.
Major fluctuations indicate alignment errors and stresses.
– Monitor the temperature and avoid overheating, especially
where the travel is long and multiple runs are performed
successively.
– Avoid overrunning the limit switch (optional).
