Preliminary checks
1 – Check the equipment is in good condition and use accessories that are the most suitable for the actuator.
Make sure the torque management system and the handwheel adapter are compatible with the action about to be
carried out.
2 – Insert the battery. Set the torque limiter to minimum.
3 – Check the rotational direction required for the valve or the handwheel. Set the defined rotation direction using the
actuator’s left/right switch.
4 – Position the adaptor on the valve and set up the torque retention system. Consult the instructions for adaptors.
5 – Check the operator is correctly positioned in relation to both the actuator and the torque retention rod. When used, the
actuator (or the torque retention rod) is designed to have a tendency to move away from the operator. This way, if there is a
malfunction, the operator drops the tool safely and it will then move away from him and immediately stop.

Handwheel direction D2
6 – When starting up, always start up slowly in order to VERIFY the rotational direction, and to put tension on the torque
retention strap or chain.
