Entire actuator assembly is to be slided onto the shaft.
The yoke needs to be bolted to the valve body. 
The actuator lever arm should be positioned on the shaft so 
the actuator stem is centered in the transfer case. 
The linkage bolt should be firmly tightened. Bolt the transfer 
case cover plate into place.
Alignment of the stroke indicator plate to be done on the end 
of spline lever so that it accurately indicates position of ball.

CAUTION : Without the cover plate installed; never apply 
air to the actuator otherwise, the unsupported shaft is likely 
to sustain damage.

The  valve  is  to  be  installed  in  the  line  as  outlined  in  the 
"Installation" section.

Failure

Probable Cause

Corrective Action

Valve moves to failure position, excessive air 

1. Failure of actuator O-ring

1. Replace actuator stem O-ring

bleeding from transfer case

2. Failure of sliding seal assembly

2. Repair or replace stem adapter /  linkage assembly

Jerky shaft rotation

1. Overtightened packing

1. Retighten packing box nuts to slightly over finger-tight

2. Improper adjustment of lever arm on shaft causing arm 

2.  Readjust lever arm (see step 1 in the

to contact transfer case thus failing to convert torque.

“Remounting Actuator” section)

3. Cylinder wall not lubricated

3. Lubricate cylinder wall with silicone lubricant

4. Worn piston O-ring allowing piston to gall on cylinder wall

4.  Replace O-ring; if galling has occurred replace all damaged parts

5.  Worn actuator stem O-ring causing ctuator stem to gall on stem collar  

5.  Replace O-ring; if actuator stem is galled replace it
