Disconnect the connector (1) of the stepper
motor, to ensure that the stepper motor does not
try to rotate the valve.
Rotate the white coupling of the valve manually
until the blind hole (2) in the coupling is in line
with the threaded hole (3) in the housing.
– Check the correct position of the blind
hole with a ∅ 4 mm pin.
Block the valve by screwing a bolt (M5 x 20)
through the housing and in the blind hole in the
coupling.
