Utility Slide Precautions on Use

Handling Precautions

1. Do not disassemble the parts. This may result in debris entering the product and loss of functionality.
2. If the slider is removed from the rail, balls will fall out. A stopper is installed to prevent the slider from coming off, but please exercise caution when handling.
3. Tilting the slider or slide rail may cause it to fall by its own weight.
4. Take care not to drop or strike the utility slide. Otherwise, it may cause injury or damage the unit. Even if there is no outward indication of damage, a sudden impact could prevent the unit from functioning properly.
5. Be aware that the permissible load of the utility slide will vary depending on direction.
6. Prevent foreign materials from getting inside the product. Otherwise, it may damage the ball circulation components or result in a loss of functionality.
7. If foreign materials adhere to the product, replenish the lubricant after washing the product.
8. Do not subject this product to harsh conditions, such as an abnormally hot, cold, damp, or dusty environment, or to intense, repeated motion that would cause it to heat up due to friction. Use of this product under such conditions can result in damage or loss of functionality. Please contact THK if the product will be used in harsh conditions.
9. If the utility slide will be used in an inverted orientation, take preventive measures such as adding a safety mechanism to prevent items from falling. If the slider is damaged due to an accident, etc., balls may fall out, or the slider may become detached from the slide rail and fall down.

Lubrication

A black lithium soap-based grease is applied to the slider and ball circulation components. Do not mix lubricants with different properties.

Storage

When storing the utility slide, pack it as designated by THK and store it indoors away from extreme heat or cold and high humidity.

Disposal

The product should be treated as industrial waste and disposed of appropriately.
