4. Remove the two socket head screws holding the link arm
halves together and remove the link arm from the coupling.
5. Slide the actuator over the coupling until It sets on the
yoke1 then secure It In place with four bolts.
6. Install the coupling clamp on the coupling. The screws
must be installed from opposite sides of the housing as
shown in Figure 4, Page B17.
ACTUATOR REMOVAL OF SIZE 55 & 85 ACTUATOR
To remove the Diaphragm Actuator properly and safely from a
Leslie valve, carefully follow this procedure.
1. Stop pipeline flow. Pipeline flow must be stopped before
actuator disassembly to prevent flow system damage and/or
personal injury.
2. If the unit is equipped with a positioner or switches, turn
off the pneumatic and electrical supplies to these accessories
and remove them from the actuator.
3. Remove the two pointer screws and the pointer.
4. Apply approximately 10 psi air pressure to the diaphragm,
then remove the cast housing cover. Removal or installation of
the housing cover without pressure on the diaphragm is very
difficult and could result in damage to the actuator or valve.

5. Remove the shoulder screw from the link arm.
6. Relieve the air pressure to the diaphragm.
7. Disconnect the actuator piping.
8. Remove the four screws securing the actuator to the
mounting adaptor, then lift the actuator from the adaptor.
9. Loosen the two screws clamping the link arm to the valve
shaft, then remove the link arm.
ACTUATOR INSTALLATION OF
SIZE 55 AND 85 ACTUATOR
1. Set the valve in the closed position. The valve-closed
position is described in the Valve instruction.
2. Slide the link arm onto the shaft in the position shown in
Figure 5, Page B19.
3. Tip the actuator slightly to get it over the link arm, then set
the actuator on the mounting adaptor.
4. Secure the actuator to the adaptor with four bolts.
5. Position the link arm so its top edge is approximately
3/16” below the top edge of the actuator housing as shown in
Figure 6, Page B19.
