1. Depressurize the actuator completely.
2. Based on the actuator size, choose the correct threaded rod kit from Table A-1.
3. Replace one by one each end cap screw for the threaded rod kit and turn down the
adjusting nut until it touches the end cap.
4. Once all for end cap screws have been replaced, gradually turn the adjustment nuts
on threaded rod in CCW direction by turning the nuts half turn at a time. Make sure
the rod itself does not turn. Continue this until the load of springs are relieved.
5. Repeat the same procedure for the end cap screws on the other size of the actua-
tor as shown in gure A-1.
6. In case of an actuator/valve assembly “stuck” in mid position: The actuator now
can be disassembled from Valve, by removing the mounting studs/bolts.
