CAUTION

---

• Do not take the hopper out of its box until installation preparations are completed to prevent falling or tripping.

• When unpacking the product, take sufficient safety precautions, such as wearing protective equipment.

• A fixing bolt secures Hopper M and Hopper L to prevent the actuator from being damaged by vibrations during transport. If you install the hopper without removing the fixing bolt, it may result in failed calibration and damage. Be sure to remove the fixing bolt. (refer to step 4)
