INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them
could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Lateral forces on actuator hub will damage
actuator.
Ensure actuator is mounted with shaft centered in
actuator hub.
1. Place the actuator over the shaft, see Fig. 3.
2. Position and seat the actuator.
3. Rotate the shaft to match the actuator position.
4. Install the mounting bracket accessory (not included),
if needed. See Fig. 4.
5. Partially tighten hub setscrews to ensure actuator
seats firmly against mounting bracket with shaft
centered in hub.
6. Tighten the anti-rotation bolt to the torque
recommendation for the selected bolt/nut.
7. Tighten the hub setscrews against the shaft to a torque
of 60 lb-in.
