4.1. Mounting Instructions
Required Tools: Open-end wrenches or adjustable wrench to fit all sizes of

1. Obtain a mounting kit suited for the actuator/valve, commonly available
through a local Westlock Controls distributor.
2. Attach the mounting bracket and coupler (if required) to the unit
housing with the hardware provided.
3. Attach the unit and mounting system to the actuator.

related failure of unit shaft in high cycle or high torque applications.
