STEP 1
a WARNING
Potential to operate while dangerous mechanical parts are
exposed during subassembly removal. To prevent injury, turn off all power
sources to actuator before removing drive sleeve assembly. Power sources
may include: main power or control power.
Once all other subassemblies are removed, pull out the drive sleeve
