CAUTION
In operation and handling
•  When automatically operating an actuator with the manual handwheel, verify 
that the AUTO/MANUAL switchover pin is inserted into the pin holder, the chain 
is engaged with the handwheel and the indicator is in AUTO position starting 
operation. 
•  When disassembling and assembling, always hold the actuator in an upright 
position (spring unit on top and yoke on the bottom) 
•  While eyebolts are used to suspend the actuator, an assembled valve should not be 
suspended with the eyebolts only.
AUTO/MANUAL switchover of manual handwheel 
With an actuator with the AUTO/MANUAL switchover function, switchover between 
automatic operation and manual operation using the handwheel is possible.  See Figure 4-23.
