Side Drive Instructions
1) Isolate all sources of energy from the drive
2) Press down on the hex until you feel you have bottomed out the
manual drive. Constant downward force is required to
maintain engagement during operation.
3) Give the hex a slight turn while observing if you are moving the
rod or not. It is possible that during engagement the gear teeth
have not completely engaged; this will prevent the gears from
meshing. If the rod is not moving continue to press down while
turning the manual drive slowly until it pushes farther down.
When this happens you have proper gear engagement.
4) After gear engagement is achieved, the manual drive can be
operated. The maximum torque input for the manual drive should
not exceed the values shown in Table 1.
5) When the manual drive movement is completed, cease the
downward force and the manual drive will disengage.
