2.2 Valve Preparation
2.2.1 Remove Valve Gearing if so equipped.
2.2.2 If valve is equipped with stops, remove valve stem extension housing. Examine
the valve stops to ensure no foreign material is present that would restrict
normal travel of the valve. Some valves are equipped with inspection ports in
the valve housing for ease in examining the stops.
2.2.3 Check alignment of stem key slot to the position of the valve. Normally
with the valve in the open position, the key slot is in line with the run of the
pipeline.
With the valve in the closed position, the key slot should be 90° to the run of
the valve.
2.2.4 The EHO Actuator may be mounted to the valve at any time regardless of
whether or not the valve is under pressure.
2.3 Actuator Preparation
Section 2: Installation
August 2016
2.3.1 Once the EHO Actuator is uncrated and cleaned for installation, check to ensure
there will be no interference with piping or other structure when the actuator is
properly mounted to the valve.
NOTE:
At this point, check to see that when the actuator is mounted to the valve and in its final
orientation, the outboard end of the power cylinder positioned below the Hydraulic
Reservoir Breather. If this is not possible, contact Bettis for further instructions on piping
to elevate the breather. See Vertical Mounted Actuator 2.4.4.
2.3.2 Check that all mounting materials such as fasteners, adapters, brackets etc. are
on hand and ready for use.
2.3.3 Check the actuator and valve to see that they are in the same relative position,
that is either open or closed. If the actuator has to be moved, use the hand
pump provided. For hand pump operation, remove the plug in the reservoir and
install the breather (refer to 4.4 Hand Pump Operation).
2.3.4 All spring-return EHO Actuators are supplied with a small accumulator for
protection from thermal-expansion of the hydraulic fluid. This accumulator is
pre charged at the factory and will not need service during installation or startup of the actuator.

2.5 Installing the EHO Actuator on the Valve
The actuator will be bolt-mounted directly to a bracket or adaptor that will be bolted
securely to the mounting flange top works of the valve.
2.5.1 Check to see that the dimensions of the bracket or adaptor are suitable for use
with the valve mounting flange and stem.
2.5.2 Check valve direction of rotation and the actuator direction of rotation to see
they match (for example: CW = close, CCW = open).
2.5.3 Check to see the actuator and valve are in the same relative position (see 2.3.3).
2.5.4 Check all mounting surfaces, they must be clean and free of debris to permit
proper fit up.
2.5.5 Prior to mounting, grease the coupling bore and the bore of the actuator.
NOTE:
Do not apply grease to the mounting flange surfaces on the valve or the adaptor.
August 2016
2.5.6 Install the stem key and grease it (keys may be held in place with tape).
2.5.7 Install the coupling onto the stem and stem key.
2.5.8 Install the coupling key and grease it.
2.5.9 Carefully align the coupling and key to the bore and keyway in the actuator
and slide the actuator onto the coupling until the adapter (bracket) bottoms
out on the valve bonnet.
NOTE:
Ensure the adapter seats out on the valve bonnet, without interference, before
installing fasteners.
2.5.10 Use the required fasteners to firmly attach the adapter to the valve bonnet.
Tighten the fasteners to their manufacturer’s recommended maximum torque
(dry or lubricated).
2.6 Setting the Stroke Limit Stops
2.6.1 The Bettis G-Series is provided with bi-directional travel stops allowing 80° to
100° total travel (+/- 5° adjustment at each end of the 90° stroke).
2.6.2 Actuators are shipped from the factory with the travel stops adjusted for
approximately 90° rotation. Generally, it is necessary to make slight travel
stop adjustments once the actuator is installed on the valve. Refer to the valve
manufacturer's recommendations for specific requirements.
2.6.3 When the valve has internal stops, the actuator stops must be set so that the
load is applied to them, not the valve stops.
2.6.4 If adjustment is required, use the hand pump to move the actuator off the stop
at the closed position before attempting to turn the adjusting screw (refer to
4.4, Hand Pump Operation).
Installation
11
Section 2: Installation

CAUTION:
Always use the hand pump to move the actuator off the stop before attempting to turn
the adjusting screw.
2.6.5 With the closed position stop set, use the hand pump to move the actuator
to the other end of the stroke and check the stop position. If adjustment is
required, slowly open Manual Bypass Valve (Lockable) (19) just enough to allow
the actuator to spring-return off the stop before adjusting.
2.7 Hydraulic Fluid
Bettis Electro-Hydraulic Operated actuators are shipped with the reservoir filled to
operation level. Before commissioning and periodically afterwards, check to see the
fluid level is correct. The oil fill cap is provided with a dipstick marked with a green and a
red mark. When the optional accumulator is drained of fluid and the actuator is at Failsafe Position, the oil should be at the green mark. The reservoir also has a sight gauge
for the purpose of seeing fluid is present. Should fluid need to be added or replaced, use
only factory approved hydraulic fluid.
