2.3 Product Identification
2.3.1 Initial Inspection & Recording Suggestions
Upon receipt of the actuator, several steps should be initially followed to ensure condition of equip-
ment and to establish proper record keeping.
1. After removing the actuator from the shipping carton or skid, thoroughly examine it for any phys-
ical damage which may have occurred during shipment. If you note any damage, immediately report
the damage to the transport company and call Limitorque for further assistance.
2. A nameplate with important information is attached to each actuator. Record the following infor-
mation for use when you need to contact Limitorque with any questions about your actuator:
• Unit type/size
• Limitorque order number
• Serial number

2.4 Maintenance
2.4.1 Recommended Maintenance
Under normal operating conditions, the MX is a maintenance-free actuator. Therefore, for normal
applications, no formal actuator maintenance is required; although visual inspection for oil leakage and
excessive noise is recommended every 1 million drive sleeve turns or every 3000 cycles. When
conditions are severe, due to frequent operation or high temperatures, inspect the oil level and oil
quality more often. Replace any seals that permit oil leakage or water ingress. When installing pipe
plugs, use Teflon® tape or paste to achieve a proper seal.
2.4.2 Unit Lubrication
Check for proper oil level every 1 million drive sleeve turns (reference Installation & Operation
Manual - Diagnostics Section to learn how to view drive sleeve turns data). Change oil every 6000 unit
cycles or if water or other foreign material is found during oil inspection.
Oil Level Inspection & Fill Criteria
(Reference Lubrication Data tables on pages 2-4 & 2-5 for oil capacities when mounted in varying positions)
