10. Notes on Operation
10.1 Placing a Load on the Actuator
• Do not exceed the load ratings given in the specification table below.
• Align the shaft center of the rod with the moving direction of the load.
10.2 How to Move Rod by Hand
In the case of the low lead types such as Lead 1 and 2 of RN3NA, RN3N, RN4NA, RN4N, RP3NA,
RP3N, RP4NA, RP4N, GS3NA, GS3N, GS4NA, GS4N, GD3NA, GD3N, GD4NA, GD4N, SD3NA,
SD3N, SD4NA and SD4N, the rod would not move even if trying to move manually because it is
heavy. To move the rod on these models, insert a slotted screwdriver, etc., into the cutout groove
provided in the shaft on the rear side and turn the groove.

Marking (orange)
(Note) The slide unit types have no cutout groove in the shaft. On these models, connect a
controller to move the rod.
Caution : Do not attempt to move back and forth from the load side (rod side) for the low lead
types (Lead 1 and 2).
Moving it forcefully would apply too much load to the feed screw and may result in
the cause of operational failure or destruction of the product.
