Mechanical assembly
• Do not modify the screws and threaded pins if not directly requested to do so in these operating
instructions.
Note
Excessive tensile loads may cause the threaded holes to be pulled out.
• In the event of high loads make sure that the EPCO is secured at other mounting
points in the grooves 7 in addition to the front mounting threads 5.
• Make sure that the device is fitted free of mechanical stress
and distortion (evenness of the bearing surface: ≤ 0.2 mm).
• Position the EPCO so that all of the control sections are
accessible.
• Secure the EPCO with the mounting accessories
(
10 Accessories).
• Tighten the screws evenly.
