5. If the OUT measurement doesn’t match the dimension shown in the table, remove the Adjuster Cover and
adjust the OUT position as follows:
• To increase the travel of the Actuator Drive Nut, turn the adjuster clockwise.
• To decrease the travel of the Actuator Drive Nut, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.
Note: Use a 1/2” (13 mm) socket to turn the adjuster. Each click of the adjuster will change the
Actuator Drive Nut 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).
6. Hold the Actuator Drive Nut, run the actuator in and out and check both dimensions after each
adjustment.
7. When the Actuator Drive Nut limits are set correctly, replace the Adjuster Cover.

• Normal current load is 1-2
amps.
• Max current load is 6
amps.
• Max current with no load
is 1.4 amps.
1. Check for binding or frozen squeegee lift linkage
and excessive weight on the squeegee mount.
2. Check for a short circuit in the actuator motor and
wiring. Repair or replace.
To test the actuator, disconnect the motor plug
and attach the actuator power cord adapter (p/n
