Instructions
1. Remove power from the actuator. For Mx40-704x
actuators note which side (“L” or “R”) is facing out.
2. Remove the actuator from the existing valve link-
ge.
a
Disassemble the existing valve linkage (refer to
3.
Figure-1). Note that the Linkage Base, Valve Body
Mounting Insert and (2) Valve body Mounting
screws need not be replaced unless damaged. If
the Linkage Base is replaced, note the orientation
of the long end with respect to the valve and inst all
the new Linkage Base with the same orientation.

Installation Instructions
4. Install the new linkage components as shown in
Figure-2. Be sure the Stop Dog ear and Shaft flats
are oriented as shown and that the stop dog ear
points to the long end of the base. If the Linkage
Base is being replaced, make sure its long end is
pointing in the same direction with respect to the
valve. Check operation by rotating shaft. Once the
new linkage is installed, make sure the shaft is
turned to its full clockwise (CW) position.
Both the actuator and the valve shaft must be in the fully
clockwise (CW) position (2-way valve closed, 3-way valve
port A closed) when the actuator is reinstalled. Failure to
do so will cause improper valve operation and possible
component damage.
5. Make sure the actuator is positioned at its full
clockwise (CW) end of rotation (Mx40-704x may
have to be powered to do this). Reinstall the
actuator using the proper anti-rotation clip (refer to
Figure-2).
6. Reapply power to the actuator.
7. Check operation by varying the control input signal
to the actuator and observing valve operation.
The Stop Dog, Plastic Connector, and Shaft from the
existing linkage must be discarded.
