Ö
Before starting any work on the actuator disconnect all pneu-
matic / hydraulic / electrical supplies from the actuator and

Ö
Make sure that the actuator is in the closed position (0°) be-
fore disassembling.
Ö
Make sure that the stop cap screws (02) have been correctly
removed as per section 9.3.3
Risk of components damage due to incorrect disassembly!
During disassembly the end caps can be damaged due to une-
ven force generated by compressed springs.

Observe the speci fi ed sequence shown in Fig. 9-5.
Ö
Remove the end caps as shown in Fig. 9-4 keeping a con-
stant distance (A = B) between the actuator body and the end
