1�11�3 When actuator is first put into service, it should be cycled with regulated
1�11�4 The actuator speed of operation is determined by a number of factors including:
1�11�5 Due to the interaction of these variables, it is difficult to specify a "normal"

1�12�1 Controlled Operation: Controlled operation is accomplished by pressurizing and/or
1�12�2 Manual Operation: All pressure must be vented or equalized on both sides of the

4. Indicated position confirms valve position
5. All switching valves in normal operating position as per schematic/
instructions
1. Hydraulic components connected as per schematic enclosed or in service
manual supplied
2. Hydraulic supply connected to identified ports
3. Electrical connections terminals are secure
4. Wiring as per enclosed diagram or service manual supplied
pneumatic pressure. This is necessary because the seals have been stationary,
causing them to take a "set". Therefore, the actuator should be operated through
several cycles, exercising the seals, resulting in a service-ready condition.

operating time. Faster operating times may be obtained by using one or more of
the following:
1. Larger supply lines
2. Larger control valve
3. Higher supply pressure*
4. Quick exhaust valves
