(12) O-ring Lubricate the O-ring with 1U-6396 O-Ring Assembly Compound. (13) Bolt Apply 4C-5598 High Temperature Anti-Seize to the threads and to the face of the bolts. (14) Nut Torque for nuts ... 25 6 N m (18 4 lb ft) (15) Rod Distance between the center bores of the rod ends ... 121.6 mm (4.787 inch) (16) Clevis Apply 4C-4030 Thread Lock Compound to the threads. (17) Nut Torque for nuts ... 25 6 N m (18 4 lb ft) (18) Nut Torque for nut ... 200 20 N m (150 15 lb ft) (19) Rod Distance between the center bores of the rod ends ... 340.1 mm (13.389 inch) (20) Actuator (21) Inlet port (22) Outlet port (A) Angle Angle for the lever in the fully closed position ... 27 degrees (B) Angle Angle for the lever in the fully closed position ... 45 degrees (C) Angle Angle for the lever in the fully closed position ... 34 degreesUse the following procedure to assemble the air choke:
Assemble choke plate (9) to shaft (8). Loosely install bolts (10).
Install thrust washer (2) and tighten bolts (5).
To ensure that bolts (10) are properly seated in shaft (8), fully close choke plate (9) and tighten bolts (10).
Make sure that choke plate (9) is fully closed. Loosen locking nut (3) and turn adjusting bolt (1) until the bolt is seated against stop plate (6). Tighten the bolt for an additional 1/4 turn (90 degrees) and then tighten the locking nut.
Assemble the actuator with inlet port (21) in the upward position and with outlet port (22) in the downward position. Tighten nut (18) to the specified torque.
Apply 4C-4030 Thread Lock Compound to the threads of clevis (16).
Assemble rod (15). Provide equal engagement of the threads at both ends of the rod until the distance between the center bores of the rod ends is approximately the specified length.
Assemble rod (19). Provide equal engagement of the threads at both ends of the rod until the distance between the center bores of the rod ends is approximately the specified length.
For final adjustment of the linkage, ensure that the actuator does not try to force stop plate (6) past plate (4) when the choke plate is moved to the fully open position.
Fully extend the actuator. Make sure that the choke plate is in the fully open position and that stop plate (6) contacts plate (4).
Then reduce the length of rod (15) by 1/2 turn (180 degrees). This allows a clearance between stop plate (6) and plate (4).
Make sure that the choke plate can achieve the fully closed position. Tighten nuts (14) and nuts (17) to the specified torque.
