Connect the 70 -80 psi supply air to the center port of the valve manifold.
>
Connect the valve manifold retract port (the port directly to the left of the center port when the manifold is
facing you) to the rod end of the cylinder.
>
For PTF rotary actuators, connect this to the port on Body “A” for single rack models (left side when the
PTF shaft is facing toward you), or connect to bodies “A” and “D” for double rack models (lower left and
upper right when the PTF shaft is facing toward you).
>
Connect the extend port (the port directly to the right of the center port when the manifold is facing you) to
the cap end of the PFC cylinder.
>
For PTF rotary actuators, connect this to the port on Body “B” for single rack models (right side when the
shaft is facing toward you), or connect to bodies “B” and “C” for double rack models (upper left and lower
right when the shaft is facing toward you).
Do not turn the air supply on at this time.
