EXAMPLE: Setting shaft coupling to an approximate
fail-safe position of 30 degrees (as indi-
cated on the housing) limits stroke to 60
degrees. (See Fig. 7)
4. Install the shaft coupling at this position.
5. Replace the retainer clip on the shaft coupling using
the groove of the coupling.

Mounting
CAUTION
Device Malfunction Hazard.
Improper shaft coupling tightening causes
device malfunction.
Tighten shaft coupling with proper torque to pre-
vent damper shaft slippage.
CAUTION
Actuator Damage Hazard.
Using actuator as shaft bearing causes device
damage.
Use actuator only to supply rotational torque. Avoid
any side loads to actuator output coupling bear-
ings.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can damage the motor beyond repair.
Never turn the motor shaft by hand or with a
wrench.
Forcibly turning the motor shaft can damage the
gear train.
To mount the actuator to an external drive shaft of a
damper, proceed as follows:
1. Place actuator over damper shaft; and hold mount-
ing bracket in place. See Fig. 10.
2. Mark screw holes on damper housing.
