Section 1: Introduction
Introduction
4. BASIC SERVICE INFORMATION: Complete actuator refurbishment requires the
actuator be dismounted from the valve or device it is operating.
5. The maximum recommended service interval for this actuator series is five
years. Storage time is counted as part of the service interval.
6. This procedure is applicable with the understanding that all electrical power and
hydraulic pressure has been removed from the actuator. Also, it is understood
that the actuator has been removed from the valve, as well as all piping and
accessories that are mounted on the actuator have been removed.

General
Section 4: General
1. This procedure should only be implemented by a technically competent
technician who should take care to observe good workmanship practices.
2. Numbers in parentheses( ), indicate the bubble number (reference number)
used on the GH-Bettis Assembly Drawing, Exploded Detail Drawing, and
actuator Part List.
3. This procedure is written using the stop screw side of the housing (1-10) as
a reference and this side will be considered the front side of the actuator.
The housing cover (1-20) will be the top of the actuator.
4. Refer to Table 1 for approximate actuator weights.
5. To help in correct reassembly; that is, with power cylinder on same end of
housing as was, cylinder to cylinder adapter, cylinder adapter to housing, right
and left stop screws, and others, mark or tag for ease of reassembly, also mark
mating surfaces.
6. When removing seals from seal grooves, use a commercial seal removing tool
or use a small screwdriver with the sharp edges rounded off.
7. Use a non-hardening thread sealant on all pipe threads.
NOTE:
Apply the thread sealant per the manufacturer's instructions.
8. Disassembly of actuator should be done in a clean area on a work bench.
9. LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS:
For use in housing (1-10) area of the actuator. Lubricants, other than those listed
in following steps A and B, should not be used without prior written approval of
Bettis Product Engineering.
a. Standard and high temperature service (-20°F to +350°F) use Bettis ESL
5 (Kronaplate 100). ESL 5 is contained in the Bettis Service/Seal Kit.
b. Low temperature service (-50°F to +150°F) use Kronaplate 50.
Kronaplate 50 is not contained in the Low Temperature Service/Seal Kit.
10. FLUID REQUIREMENTS:
For use in power cylinders (3) or (3-10). The following listed fluids are
recommended fluids only and does not limit the use of other hydraulic fluids
compatible with supplied seals and coatings.
a. Standard and high temperature service (-20°F to +350°F) use Dexron II
or Shell Tellus T-32 Automatic Transmission Fluid.
b. Low temperature service (-50°F to +150°F) use Exxon Univis J13 or HVI
13 Hydraulic Fluid.

Section 5: General Disassembly
1. If not already done, remove all operating pressure from actuator cylinder (3) or
cylinder assemblies M3 (3-10).
2. If the actuator is equipped with a M3 jackscrew, make sure that the jackscrew
(3-20) does not engage the piston rod (2-10).
3. Actuators equipped with M3HW jackscrew with handwheel option, remove hex
nut (8-30), lock washer (8-20), and handwheel (8-10).
4. Mark stop screws (1-60) left and right. Measure and record the exposed
length of the right and left stop screws (1-60). The stop screws will be
removed later in this procedure.
5. Identify each cylinder adapter (2-30) left or right and record the inlet port
locations in cylinder adapters (2-30).
6. Removed the socket cap screws (1-120) from position indicator (1-110),
yoke weather cover (6-110), and remove position indicator/yoke weather cover.
7. Remove snubber (1-130) from the housing (1-10).
8. On cylinders (3) or (3-10) and cylinder adapters (2-30), open bleed valves (2-120).
CAUTION: USE PROPER WRENCH STYLE AND SIZE
The bleed valves are 1/8 NPT and are made out of brass. Use only the correct size
wrench. Refer to Table 2 at the end of this procedure for recommended wrench style
and correct wrench size. Do not use pliers or other style adjustable wrench for bleed
valve removal or adjustment.
9. Drain the hydraulic fluid from cylinders (3) or (3-10) and cylinders adapters
(2-30) by removing pipe plugs (2-130).

Section 6: Pressure Cylinder Disassembly
1. The following steps may be performed on one cylinder and then on the other
cylinder or simultaneously on both cylinders.
2. Secure the chain wrench around cylinder (3) or cylinder assembly M3
(3-10) as close to the welded end cap as possible. Using the mallet, break the
cylinder loose and then, remove the cylinder by rotating in a counterclockwise
direction. When setting the cylinder aside, care should be taken to protect the
chamfered edge and cylinder threads.
3. Unscrew and remove piston hex lock nut (2-70).
4. Remove piston (2-20) from piston rod (2-10).
5. Unscrew and remove four cylinder adapter ferry screws (2-90) and gasket seals
(6-80) from cylinder adapter (2-30).
6. Remove cylinder adapter (2-30), taking care not to scratch piston rod (2-10)
or disengage rod bushings (2-40).
7. It is not necessary to disassemble M3 Jackscrew (3-20) from cylinder assembly
M3 (3-10) unless it needs maintenance or when replacing nut seal (3-30).
For disassembly of the M3 or M3HW jackscrew, refer to Section 13,
"M3 Jackscrew Disassembly" .
