NOTE: For in-service actuators, skip Removing Pre-
load. For new actuators, remove the factory-
installed 5° pre-load.
Removing Preload
Before the External Auxiliary Switch can be installed on
a new, out-of-the-box actuator, you must remove the
factory-installed preload.

1.
Insert shaft adapter at position A (See Figure 4).
2.
Press the manual override button and move the
shaft adapter counterclockwise until actuator
reaches the internal stop (actuator will not move
past this point).
