Actuation Installation
Single Container Actuation
Check the actuator mechanism to ensure that it is in the non-fired position by fully screwing in the reset
tool, ie. pin retracted.
Remove the actuator cap from the top of the valve assembly.
Carefully screw the actuator to the valve assembly.
If no other actuators are to be installed ensure that the protective cap on the actuator is retained in position.
Manual Actuator
The manual actuator can be fitted to the top of the electrical actuator or directly onto the valve, after first
removing the protective cap.
Before attaching the manual actuator to the electrical actuator or valve, ensure that the firing pin is
retracted and the safety pin in placed.
The actuator must be hand-tight only.
Pneumatic Actuator
Check that the actuating plungers are in the raised position.
Remove the actuation cap from the top of the valve assembly and carefully screw the pneumatic actuator
to the valve on each slave container.
The actuator must be hand-tight only.
