Actuator Replacement

The Actuator Replacement procedure is important because it ensures components are installed correctly to maintain proper system function and prevent equipment failure. It also improves safety and reliability by minimizing the risk of improper installation and unplanned downtime.

Remove the broken actuator

Unplug the broken actuator from the AAC

If possible, lower the sensor stack to the bottom position to prevent the arms from falling after actuator is removed.

Remove the clevis pins from atachment assembly to free the actuators

Remove the actuator

Install the new actuator

Unbox the new actuator, verify it is the same length stroke

Plug the actuator into the AAC or actuator extension tool to extend the actuator so it will fit into the Attachment Assembly arms.

Get the actuator in position and push the clevis pins through the front and rear holes of the actuator and attachment assembly arms, fixing the actuator in place.

Secure the clevis pins using cotter pins.
