Carefully position the actuator so that the holes for the actuator pivot pin are aligned with the holes in the side of the
actuator sheet metal. Insert the actuator pivot pin. As you are pushing the mounting pin into place, install the
locking shaft collars on each side of the piston. Replace the two safety clips on the mounting pin. Let the actuator
hang from the mounting pin.
Plug the control cable of the new actuator to the control box. Turn power on to the oven so the actuator can be
operated. Perform the actuator set-up and synchronization at this time.
The installation procedure is the reverse of the removal procedure.
SET-UP AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF THE LINAK ACTUATORS:
The actuators are installed and synchronized on the oven when it is built.
Caution Notes:
The following process is used for two or three actuators on the same oven, and is required only after replacement of
an actuator or control box, or if an actuator is out of adjustment.
1. Do not turn the spindle while the actuator is plugged into the actuator control box. This will send
erroneous pulses to the control box causing misalignment and possible damage to the system. For initial
factory set-up or field replacement, the spindle may be turned no more than three revolutions to align the
clevis pin hole to the bracket. This must only be done when the actuator is unplugged from the control box.
2. Do not unplug the actuator from the control box during operation or in an attempt to adjust or synchronize
the actuators. This will cause misalignment resulting in possible damage to the system.
3. Raising or lowering one side of the heat zone more than the prescribed distance may cause structural
damage to the system.
