1. Ensure the damper can move freely through its
entire range of motion, and x any binding before
installing the actuator. Turn the damper blade to
its fully closed position.
2. Press (to the right) and hold the gear disengagement lever (see Illustration 1), rotate the actuator
to the fully closed position, and release the lever.
NOTE: Depending on the damper-seal design,
backing the actuator o its stop
approximately 5° may provide tight
damper shut-o.
3. Align the actuator and slide it onto the shaft.
4. Leaving a gap between the actuator and
mounting surface to prevent any binding, ngertighten the nuts on the V-bolt.

5. Insert the provided (HMO-4001/4002, dependent
on model) non-rotation bracket into the slot at the
base of the actuator and secure the non-rotation
bracket with two #8 or #10 self-tapping screws.
6. Evenly tighten the V-bolt nuts (30–35 in-lb.
on MEP-4201 model or 60–70 in-lb. on MEP4501/4901).
7. If desired, use a 7/64-inch hex key wrench to
loosen and position the end-stop screw.
NOTE: The two holes at the top of the actuator
are NOT for use in direct-coupled
applications. (They are for remote
mounting, such as with the optional
HLO-4001 Crank Arm Kit.) For mounting
to valves, see the appropriate valve
installation guide.

Illustration 2—Wiring Compartment
To wire the actuator:
1. Loosen the screw on the conduit ing and lift up
to remove the ing.
2. Using a utility knife or drill, cut the red plug
to accept wiring or replace the plug with an
application-specic ing.
NOTE: The red plug (or similar ing) protects
internal components from debris, helping
to ensure long actuator life.
3. Thread wires through the plugged opening and
connect to the terminal block according to the
relevant application. (See Illustrations 3 through
5.) Adjust the selector switch as needed.
4. Reinstall the conduit ing and tighten the screw.
