❑ The actuator must not be pressurized and the air
supply connection must be open.
❑ Turn the valve segment to correspond to the
spring operation: clockwise close, counterclock-
wise open. The marker line at the end of the shaft
shows the position, see Fig. 10.
❑ Clean the actuator shaft bore and lubricate it.
❑ Push the actuator carefully onto the valve shaft.
Avoid forcing it, since this may damage the seg-
ment and seat.
❑ Lubricate the actuator mounting screws and
screw them in. Tighten all screws, see Table 4.
❑ Adjust the valve open and closed positions by
means of the screws at the side of the actuator;
remember to tighten the locking nuts. See Fig. 39.
Keep your fingers out of the flow port!
