Have the tool serviced by a qualified repairer using only modec products when changing parts. Only use valve accessories recommended and approved by modec. Think to consult the accessory list provided and/or seek advice from modec for specific uses.
Recover any unprotected contacts and pack the batteries tightly so they cannot move about. Please also follow any additional regulations that may apply. b. Storing the actuator modec actuators must be stored in a dry and correctly ventilated environment to ensure there is no corrosion of the internal mechanic parts.
2 – Fixation ring to fix a strap for handling and carrying: Not for torque management. 3 – Flange: enables the attachment of all modec heads, adaptors and torque systems. 4 – Left/right switch – to choose rotational direction of the actuator.

General info The actuator must be kept stable while turning the valve or handwheel. modec Portable Valve Actuators can be used in any position. However, to ensure the operator is working safely and in the best conditions, it is imperative that the actuator is used in the axis of the handwheel being activated.
Never use a portable actuator with a torque management system that is under-sized, unstable or badly positioned. c. Fixing the BR001 torque management arm and anchoring strap Pull each fixation spring with the ring and rotate for a quarter turn so that they stay in the pulled position.
9. Using the actuator a. Preliminary checks 1 – Check the equipment is in good condition and use accessories that are the most suitable for the actuator. Make sure the torque management system and the handwheel adapter are compatible with the action about to be carried out.
Check again the direction of the torque retention. 3 – In case of resistance resulting from deposits on the stem, turn the valve in both directions several times to ‘clean’ it. modec revolution counter (optional) enables you to always know which position the valve is in.
