INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS

Determine the assembly position of the operator, referring to Figure 4 and related table. It is a good idea at this stage to choose 
whether or not you want to use the built in mechanical positive stops; eliminating the mechanical stops increases the working stroke of 
the operator and values 

A

 and 

B

 must be changed.
