Danger to life due to unexpected movement of the actuator! 
Restoring process forces may move the actuator when you 
 
In order to change the handwheel O-ring 
1 of the drive proceed 
as follows: 
1.  Make sure that the oil level is below the O-ring 
1. 
2.  Drain the oil if necessary (see Oil change on page 6 for 
details). 
3.  Turn flange screws 
3 out. 
4.  Pull entire hand wheel drive assembly out of the gearing 
engagement. 
5.  Replace the O-ring 
1. 
6.  If additionally the shaft sealing ring 
4 needs to be replaced, 
turn the wheel fastening screws 
5 out and put the hand 
wheel 
6 aside. 
7.  Take the shaft sealing ring 
4 out. 
8.  Grease the new the shaft sealing ring 
4 slightly with oil and 
put it into the groove; consider the exemplary hints and 
illustration of Sealing ring of output drive shaft on page 11. 
9.  Fasten the hand wheel 
6 and re-install the entire assembly; 
tightening torque for the screws 
3 = 20 Nm (15 ft-lbs).

In order to change the O-ring 
2 and the sealing ring 4, firstly 
remove the position sensor Dismounting on page 27 and 
proceed as follows: 
1.  Make sure that the oil level is below the O-ring 
2. 
2.  Drain the oil if necessary (Mounting position on page 6 for 
details). 
3.  Loosen the hexagon screw 
6 and pull apart the pinion 7. 
4.  Undo flange fastening screws 
1. 
5.  Pull the flange 
3 with sealing ring 4 carefully from the 
shaft 
5 and put it aside. 
6.  Replace the O-ring 
2. 
7.  Pull the old sealing ring 
4 out of the groove. 
8.  Grease the new sealing ring slightly with oil and put it in. 
9.  Clean the shaft and the contact surfaces of the flange. 
10. Carefully push the flange 
3 with O-ring 2 and sealing 
ring 
4 on the shaft; take care that the shaft end does not 
damage the sealing ring. 
11.  fasten the flange 
3 and thighten the screws 1 crosswise 
with 8.3 Nm (6.12 ft-lbs). 
12.  fasten the pinion 
7 and tighten the hexagon screw 6 with
