What is the difference between the head end lock and the rod end lock for the end lock type of the MGP series? Also, what is the difference between the non-lock type and the lock type manual release?

The rod end lock is locked with the piston rod protruding (locks in the retracting direction), and the head end lock is locked when the piston rod is retracted (locks in the extending direction).

The manual release indicates how to release the end lock.
For the non-lock type (□N), the lock is released by pulling it with the specified bolt, and it returns it to its original state by releasing it.
Be sure to remove the bolt during normal operation.
For the lock type (□L), the lock can be released and maintained by turning the knob.
Do not forget to reset the knob when restarting operation.
