1.3.3.It is recommended to mount the hand wheel on the input shaft (as figure show above) before assembling the gearbox to the valve.
1.3.4.Check if the gearbox flange matches the valve flange.
1.3.5.Check if the valve shaft mounting holes on the gearbox match the valve shaft dimensions.
1.3.6.Check if the valve is in the closed position. If not, close the valve before continuing.
1.3.7.After check all above process, if the flange connection is connected with double bolts, it is recommended to insert the stud bolts into the bottom flange hole of the gearbox as first step.
1.3.8.In order to prevent water or other impurities from entering and damaging the stem, it is recommended to use a gasket for sealing between the flange of the gearbox and the valve flange.
1.3.9.Gearboxes are delivered with eyebolts. Eyebolts should only be used to lift the gearbox. The input shaft or hand wheel cannot be used for lifting the gearbox. Do not lift the gearbox with eyebolts when it is assembled to the valve, input shaft or hand wheel. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage and safety issue caused by incorrect use of the eyebolt.
1.4.COMMISSIONING
1.4.1.After the installing the gearbox on the valve, turn the hand wheel clockwise to close the valve completely (The valve position is indicated by the position indicator on the gearbox).
1.4.2.Observe the actual closing position of the valve; if it is not completely closed, turn the retaining screw anticlockwise (release the lock nut), at the same time turn the hand wheel clockwise until the valve is fully closed.
1.4.3.After commissioning, tighten the setscrews clockwise and lock it with the locking screw (locking nut).
1.4.4.Turn the hand wheel anticlockwise to rotate the valve 90 ° to fully open position.
1.4.5.If the valve cannot be fully opened, follow the steps of 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 again.
