INTRODUCTION

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Nexen has introduced a new actuator for BD Caliper Brake spring-engaged models. The old Three-Port Actuator is 
obsolete.  

The new two actuator is geometrically different and the manual disengagement mechanism operates differently. The new 
actuator for the 60 psi release unit is unique in look from the new two port actuator. 

The redesigned two-port model has a rubber hose on the exterior of the product used for balancing internal air pressure. 
The service and spring ports for this model have been redesigned and simplified.

The mounting procedures on both actuators are identical.

Review the summary of actuator differences below before beginning any installation or maintenance procedures. 

NOTE

The installation and maintenance procedures for each model are located next to each other in this manual. Be 

sure to follow the appropriate instructions for each model.

Read this manual carefully, making full use of its explanations and instructions.  The "Know How" of safe, continuous, trouble-free 

operation depends on the degree of your understanding of the system and your willingness to keep all components in proper 

operating condition.  Pay particular attention to all NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS to avoid the risk of personal injury or 

property damage.  It is important to understand that these NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS are not exhaustive.  Nexen 

cannot possibly know or evaluate all conceivable methods in which service may be performed, or of the possible hazardous 

consequences of each method.

Accordingly, anyone who uses a procedure that is not recommended by Nexen must first satisfy themselves that neither their 

safety or the safety of the product will be jeopardized by the service method selected.
