INSTALLATION
For direct mount skip bracket /coupler installation and proceed
with mounting studs installation
Insert mounting coupler into the gear and manually operate the
gear operator until coupler machined area is in line with valve
stem.
Remove coupler from the gear.
Install mounting bracket as required using valve mounting plate
and supplied fasteners. It is recommended to use a small amount
of Anti-seize on the threads during assembly. Fasten bracket
loosely.
Place mounting coupler onto the valve stem. It is recommended
that a small amount of lubricant or Anti-seize is applied to the
stem adaptor at both connections – to the valve stem and to the
gear operator.
Install the mounting studs into the gear unit mounting holes.
Carefully lower the gear unit over valve stem or stem adaptor.
Make sure that the mounting studs are aligned with the holes
on the valve top mounting plate or with the top holes on the
bracket.

Do not place fingers or hand between gear operator and
mounting plate during installation as this is a pinch point.
Tighten both gear nuts and bracket fasteners. Ensure that the
gear is centrally mounted on the valve stem/coupler.
