 Actuator Mounting
 Inspect the valve actuator mounting surface stem mounting
hardware bracket couplingadapter and actuator package
for damage wear or any other irregularity which could aect
the operation and performance of the valve or actuator
package
 Follow specific actuator installation operating and
maintenance instructions
 Valve stem shall be in the upright position
 Ensure valve is properly supported when mounting the
actuator
 Valve closure position
a If the actuator is a spring return fail to close or double
acting style actuator the valve closure shall be set to
closed position
b If the actuator is a spring return fail to open style
actuator the valve closure shall be set to open position
 Attach the mounting bracket to the valve with provided
hardware hand tight A lifting device may be required based
on the size and weight of the bracket
 Install the couplingadapter on the valve stem A lifting
device may be required based on the size and weight of the
couplingadapter
 Proper valve and actuator performance requires alignment
between the valve stem and actuator drive Misalignment can
cause premature wear of the valve and actuator components
 Ensure actuator drive orientation is in the proper position
 Lift the actuator package from its storage location and lower
the actuator so the actuator drive is in a direct line with the
valve stem Support actuator package once actuator is on the
mounting bracket Be careful not to force the valve stem into
the valve as the actuator drive and stem are in contact
 Tighten the actuator provided mounting hardware hand tight
Maintain the actuator package support
 Cycle actuator  to  times to allow the assembly to center
the valve stem couplingadapter and actuator drive
 Tighten the mounting hardware at the valve and actuator
 The actuator travel stops shall be adjusted to ensure proper
valve closure position open and closed The actuator stops
shall be set every time the actuator is removed from the
valve
