Assembly
This procedure assumes that the actuator is
completely disassembled. If it is not, start the
instructions at the appropriate step.

1. Before starting assembly, apply moly-grease
lubricant to the threads and the bearing end of the
adjusting screw (key 10) as indicated in figure 4 by
the letter A.

Note
To take some of the slack out of the
diaphragm (key 2) at the bolt circle, turn
the adjusting screw into the yoke
(key 7) to raise the diaphragm plate
(key 4). This will also ensure that the
diaphragm will have enough slack
inside the casings for efficient travel.

5. Secure the diaphragm plate (key 4) to the
actuator stem (key 8) with the cap screw (key 3),
and install this assembly into the actuator. Install the

the diaphragm is next to the diaphragm plate.

When replacing the upper diaphragm
casing (key 1), be sure there are no
wrinkles in the diaphragm that might
cause the diaphragm to tear or allow
leakage.

secure the casings with the cap screws (key 19). For
all other actuator sizes, secure the casing with the
cap screws and hex nuts (keys 19 and 20).

Note
When you replace actuator
diaphragms in the field, take care to
ensure the diaphragm casing bolts are
tightened to the proper load to prevent
leakage, but not crush the material.
Perform the following tightening
sequence with a manual torque
wrench.
