Crank Arm Kit for MEP-4000 Series Actuators

HLO-4001

Installation Guide

1. From the MEP-4xxx actuator, remove and discard
the V-bolt.

2. Assemble and install the kit and actuator as
shown in the diagram below.

NOTE: In general, position both the ball joints

as close to the end of the crank arms as is
feasible for the application. Positioning a

ball joint in the slot closer to the shaft will
change the torque, rotation speed, and/or
angle of rotation—which may be useful for
some applications.

Ball Joints

NOTE: Check for potential issues such as binding

of the linkage or damage caused by the
actuator still rotating when the damper (or
other application) is already closed.

NOTE: See the Accessories section for an auxiliary

crank arm if the damper or other equip­ment does not have one already installed.

NOTE: For much more information about installing

MEP-4xxx actuators, see the MEP-4xxx

Applications Guide on the KMC web site

(www.kmccontrols.com) as well as the

Maintenance

More Information

Under normal conditions, no routine maintenance is
required. In harsh environments, however, periodic
lubrication of the ball joints may be necessary.

Each component is designed for dependable, long­term reliability and performance. Careful installation
will also help ensure long-term reliability and perfor­mance.
