3.
Push down on the Locking Knob. This will disengage the gear train and allow the handle and
thus the diverter to be moved in any position.
4.
To return the actuator to automatic position, pull up on the handle while turning it clockwise or
counterclockwise until you feel the shaft slide up into the gear train. Screw the Locking Knob
down until snug.
5.
Put the toggle switch back in the ON1 or ON2 position.
The GVA-24 has two seals which should be lubricated every year. These O-ring seals are located
at the top and bottom of the actuator, where the shaft exits the actuator housing. The top O-ring
requires the removal of the handle, and the bottom requires that the gear train is disengaged. Fol-
low the procedure below for instructions on how to lubricate the O-ring seals. Before performing
this procedure, turn off pool filtration.
1.
Put the toggle switch in the OFF (center) position.
2.
Remove the actuator from the valve. Remove the Locking Knob and handle.
3.
Spread a small amount of Jacks 327 or other silicone based lubricant around the actuator
shaft where it enters the cover.
4.
Reinstall handle and Locking Knob but only tighten one (1) turn.
5.
Push down on the Locking Knob to disengage the gear train. This will allow the handle and
the shaft to be moved in any position.
6.
Spread a small amount of lubricant around the actuator shaft where it protrudes from the bot-
tom of the actuator enclosure.
7.
Turn the handle once around to spread the lubricant.
8.
Pull up on the handle, let it click into place and tighten Locking Knob.
1.
Actuator handle oscillates.
This condition may happen when the GVA-24 O-ring seals are not lubricated sufficiently. See
"Maintenance" section in this manual.
Actuator motor works but the valve diverter does not turn.
2.
On a pool/spa combination, the symptom of this problem would be a draining or overflowing
spa. This condition will occur if the actuator is in the manual position. To correct this, pull up
on the handle while rotating the handle in any direction until it clicks, then tighten the Locking
Knob.
