AIR SUPPLY
The supply pressure to the actuator must not exceed 60 psig.
The spring rating is either 20 psi, 35 psi or 60 psi and is
specified on the label affixed to the diaphragm cover.
LUBRICATION
This actuator has been lubricated at the factory and does not
require additional lubrication.
OPEN AND CLOSED POSITION STOP
ADJUSTMENTS
The procedure for adjusting the open and closed position
stops depends upon the actuator action. See the appropriate
following section for your actuator.
SPRING-TO-CLOSE ACTUATORS:
CLOSED STOP ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment is not required on valves with metal seats.
1.
Relieve the air pressure to the diaphragm.
2. Loosen the jam nut on the closed stop adjusting screw
(see the Exploded Assembly on the last page of this
Instruction for parts identification).
3. Turn the closed stop adjusting screw in or out until the
valve is in the closed position. See the Instruction Manual for
the valve to determine the correct closed position for that
product line. It will be easier to turn the adjusting screw if
slight air pressure is applied to the diaphragm; relieve the air
pressure to check the adjustment.
4. Tighten the jam nut to lock the adjusting screw in place.

DESCRIPTION
The Leslie Rotary Diaphragm Actuator is designed for the
Leslie K-MAX rotary control valves. It can be used for on-off
or modulating applications in either the Spring-To-Open or
Spring-To-Close mode of operation. Action can be changed
easily in the field without additional parts required.
Note: For high vibration applications, it is important
to support the diaphragm end of the actuator by the
pipeline to prevent actuator damage. Figure 1 shows
the recommended method of attaching the support
to the actuator.
CAUTION
STOP PIPELINE FLOW BEFORE REMOVING THE
ACTUATOR FROM THE VALVE. FLOW IN THE
PIPELINE WITH THE ACTUATOR REMOVED FROM
THE VALVE MAY CAUSE THE VALVE TO SLAM
SHUT. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR SYSTEM DAMAGE.
WARNING
THIS ACTUATOR CONTAINS A COMPRESSED
SPRING. THE POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL
INJURY EXISTS DURING THE DISASSEMBLY /
REASSEMBLY PROCESS. CAREFULLY FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE YOUR
SAFETY.
