3. End Cap (30) Disassembly, (Figure 5):
A. Remove the end cap bolts (13) in the sequence
shown in (Figure 5).
CAUTION (VPVL051): The springs within the spring return
version of the size “051” actuator are not captured in a
cartridge. The end cap bolts are 30mm long to allow the
spring force to be completely released prior to removal
of the end caps (30). Slowly back out all 4 end cap screws
(13) evenly to allow the spring force to be safely released
prior to removal of the end cap (30).
CAUTION (VPVL100 - 800): When disassembling a spring
return actuator, the end cap (30) should be loose after
unscrewing the end cap bolts (13) 4-5 turns. If there
is still force on the end cap (30) after 4-5 turns of the
end cap bolts (13), this may indicate a damaged spring
cartridge and any further disassembly of the end cap
may result in serious personal injury! Re-tighten the
end cap bolts and direct the complete actuator to a
Metso Service Center for further maintenance.
B. For spring return actuators, remove spring cartridges
(17).
CAUTION: Disassembly of the spring cartridge should
not be attempted. Special equipment is required.
Disassembly of the spring cartridge may result in
serious personal injury. If maintenance is required, the
entire spring-return actuator should be directed to a
Metso Service Center.
