Actuator Storage

For applications where the actuator is not put into immediate service it is recommended
that the actuator be cycled with at least once per month. Indoor storage, if available, is
recommended for all actuators. Care should be taken to plug all open ports on actuator
and controls to keep out foreign particles and moisture. Also, actuators should not be
stored in an atmosphere harmful to resilient seals. For extended storage, contact factory.

travel stop adjustments once the actuator is installed on the valve. Refer to the
valve manufacturer's recommendations for specific requirements. When the valve
has internal stops, the actuator should be adjusted at the same points.
