1.1 Information on the Assembly Manual
The contents structure is based on the life stages of the linear actuator (herein-
after referred to as "device").
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical data
stated in this Assembly Manual. In individual cases they may deviate from the
respective device version without the information being categorically changed
or losing validity. The current state of the technical data can be obtained from
the manufacturer at any time. Any claims arising herefrom may not be asserted.
Deviations from the text and image statements are possible and are dependent
on the technical development, equipment and accessories of the device. The
manufacturer shall provide information on any deviant details on special versi-
ons via the sales documentation. Other details shall remain unaffected by this.
1.2 Standards and guidelines
During the design of the device the fundamental requirements for health and
safety were applied and provision was made for the appropriate legislation,

ThesafetyelementisconrmedbytheDeclarationofIncorporation(seechapter
"Declaration of Incorporation"). All information on safety in this Assembly Manual
refers to legislation and regulations currently valid in Germany. All information in
this Assembly Manual must be complied with at all times and to the full extent.
In addition to the safety notices in this Assembly Manual, the regulations appli-
cable at the place of installation with regard to accident prevention, environment
protection and occupational safety must be observed and adhered to. The gui-
delines and standards for safety evaluation can be found in the Declaration of
Incorporation.
1.3 Intended use
The device is intended for use in solar tracking systems. Its purpose is position
adjustmentinsolartrackingsystems.Othereldsofapplicationmustbeagreed
in advance with the manufacturer.
The device must not be used in areas where there is a risk of injury to personnel
or in rooms in potentially explosive environments.

General
If a direct or indirect hazard to personnel cannot be ruled out, additional measu-
res (e.g. covers, barriers, etc.) must be taken in order to minimise the potential
risk accordingly.
The operator alone is liable for all damage arising from the non-intended use of
the device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for personal injury and ma-
terial damage caused through misuse or procedural errors, improper use and
commissioning.
The device must only be operated by trained and authorised specialist staff who
comply with all safety instructions.
The safe and error-free use and operating safety of the device can only be gu-
aranteed on the basis of the intended use according to the information in this
Assembly Manual.
Intended use includes observation of and adherence to all safety instructions
speciedinthisAssemblyManual,aswellasallapplicableregulationsofpro-
fessional associations and the valid legislation regards environment protection.
Adherence to the operating rules prescribed in this Assembly Manual also form
part of the intended use.
1.4 Foreseeable misuse
Installation different from the intended purpose approved by the manufacturer is
considered foreseeable misuse.
1.5 Warranty and liability
In principle, the General Terms & Conditions of Sale and Delivery of the ma-
nufacturer apply. The Terms & Conditions of Sale and Delivery form part of the
sales documentation and are transferred to the operator upon delivery. Liability
claims for personal injury and material damage shall be excluded if they are the
result of one or more of the following causes:
• Opening of the device by the customer (breaking the seal)
• Non-intended use of the device
• Improper assembly, commissioning or operation of the device
• Changes to the design and construction of the device without written per-
mission from the manufacturer
• Operating the device with improperly installed connections and defective or
improperly installed safety and protective equipment

1.6 Customer Service - manufacturer
The device must only be repaired by the manufacturer in the event of a fault.
The address to send the device to customer service can be found on the inside
of the back page.
If you have not purchased the device directly from elero, please contact the
manufacturer of the machine or the supplier of the device.
Mechanically secure the system before disassembling the device. The device
must not be separated from the system by force.
The serial number must be on hand at the request of customer service. This
can be found on the type plate in the upper right half.

2.2 Safety principles
The device is built according to state-of-the-art technology and the generally
accepted safety standards. The device is safe to operate. During the design of
the device, the fundamental requirements for health and safety were applied
and provision was made for the appropriate legislation, industrial standards and
regulations.ThesafetyofthedeviceisconrmedintheDeclarationofIncorpo-
ration.
All details pertaining to safety relate to the regulations from the European Union,
which are valid at this time. In other countries the operator must ensure that the
appropriate laws and national regulations are adhered to.
In addition to the safety notices in this Assembly Manual, the generally applicab-
le regulations regarding accident prevention and environmental protection must
be observed and complied with.
The device must only be used when in perfect working order, for its intended
use, and in compliance with the safety notices in this Assembly Manual. The
device is designed for the application stated in the chapter "Intended use". In the
event of non-intended use, injury to the life and limbs of the user or a third party
may result or the device may be impacted or other material damage caused.
Accidents or near misses during use of the device which led or could have led
to personal injuries and/or damage in the work environment must be reported
directly to the manufacturer with immediate effect.
AllsafetynoticesspeciedintheAssemblyManualandonthedevicemustbe
adhered to. In addition to these safety notices, the operator must ensure that all
national and international regulations applicable in the respective country of use,
as well as other binding regulations on operational safety, accident prevention
and environment protections, are complied with. All work on the device must
only be performed by trained and authorised personnel who have received the
appropriate safety instructions.
