Maintenance
The GVA-24 has two seals which should be lubricated every year. These O-ring seals
are located at the top and bottom of the actuator, where the shaft exits the actuator
housing. The top O-ring requires the removal of the handle, and the bottom requires
that the gear train is disengaged. Follow the procedure below for instructions on how
to lubricate the O-ring seals. Before performing this procedure, turn off pool filtration.
1.
Put the toggle switch in the OFF (center) position.
2.
Remove the actuator from the valve. Remove the Locking Knob and handle.
3.
Spread a small amount of Jacks 327 or other silicone based lubricant around the
actuator shaft where it enters the cover.
4.
Reinstall handle and Locking Knob but only tighten one (1) turn.
5.
Push down on the Locking Knob to disengage the gear train. This will allow the
handle and the shaft to be moved in any position.
6.
Spread a small amount of lubricant around the actuator shaft where it protrudes
from the bottom of the actuator enclosure.
7.
Turn the handle once around to spread the lubricant.
8.
Pull up on the handle, let it click into place and tighten Locking Knob.
Troubleshooting
If you believe your actuator is not operating properly or have questions regarding the
operation, call the Goldline Technical Service Dept. from Monday through Friday,
8AM to 8PM EST at 888-921-7665.
1. Actuator handle oscillates.
This condition may happen when the GVA-24 O-ring seals are not lubricated suffi-
ciently. See "Maintenance" section in this manual.
2. Actuator motor works but the valve diverter does not turn.
On a pool/spa combination, the symptom of this problem would be a draining or
overflowing spa. This condition will occur if the actuator is in the manual position. To
correct this, pull up on the handle while rotating the handle in any direction until it
clicks, then tighten the Locking Knob.
3. Actuator motor does not turn
The motor will not turn if the switch is in the OFF position or if there is no power to the
actuator. If the switch is in the OFF position, move to ON1 or ON2. To check power
to the actuator, measure AC volts between the black (common) and each switch leg
(red then white). If there is no AC volts on either leg, check the 24VAC power source.

EFFECTS OF HYPERTHERMIA
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6ºF
.
The symptoms of hyperthermia included an increase in the internal temperature
of the body
, dizziness, lethargy
, drowsiness and fainting.
The ef
fect
s of hyperthermia include failure to perceive
heat; failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in
pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub; and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of
drowning. W
ARNING -
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
