Remounting Actuator to Valve 

It needs to be verified that the disc rotation matches the actuator 
rotation  and  complies  with  the  air  failure  requirements,  before 
mounting a Valflo actuator on the valve body.

For mounting the actuator, the procedure is as follows: 

The entire actuator assembly needs to Slide onto the shaft. If 
needed  on  Valflo  actuator  designs  wedge  the  splined  lever 
arm apart to loosen it on the shaft splines. Marks provided on 
the end of the shaft and on the lever arm should be aligned 
for full rotation of the disc.
The  actuator  yoke  needs  to  be  bolted  to  the  valve  body. 
Ensure  that  the  stroke  indicator  plate  is  positioned  properly 
for accurately indicating the  rotation of the valve.

Align the actuator lever arm on the shaft so the actuator stem 
is centered in the transfer case. The linkage bolt needs to be 
firmly tightened.

CAUTION : Applying air to the actuator without the cover 
plate  installed;  may  cause  damage  to  the  unsupported 
shaft.

Until the disc is parallel to the seat surface, but not resting on 
body disk stop, adjust the actuator stroke stop bolts. 

CAUTION  :

 

To  prevent  the  valve  disc  from  overstroking, 

the  actuator  stroke  stop  bolts  must  be  properly  adjusted. 
The valve shaft may be twisted or sheared off if incorrectly 
adjusted.

The  valve  in  line  needs  to  be  installed  as  mentioned  in 
"Installation" section.
