NOTE:
Lubricants and hydraulic uids other than those listed in step 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 should not be
used without prior written approval of Bettis Product Engineering.
1.6.1 Lubricants:
Standard and high temperature services (-20 °F to +350 °F) / (-29 °C to 176 °C) use
Bettis ESL-5 lubricant. ESL-5 lubricant is contained in the Bettis module service kit
in tubes or cans and they are marked ESL-5 and 10 lubricant. For low temperature
service (-40 °F to 150 °F) / (-40 °C to 65.6 °C) use ESL 15 lubricant. ESL 15 lubricant
is contained in low temperature Bettis module service kits in tubes or cans and
they are marked ESL 15 lubricant.
1.6.2 Fluids:
M18 Manual Hydraulic Override System – Standard and high temperature service
(-20 °F to +350 °F) / (-29 °C to 176 °C) use Shell Tellus T-32 Automatic Transmission
Fluid. Low temperature service (-40 °F to 150 °F) / (-40 °C to 65.6 °C) use Univis J13
or HVI 13 Hydraulic Fluid.
1.7 General Tool Information
1.7.1 Tools: All tools / Hexagons are American Standard inch. Large adjustable wrench,
two (2) large screwdrivers, Allen wrench set, set of open/box end wrenches, rubber
or leather mallet, torque wrench (up to 1,200 lb-ft / 1,627 Nm), breaker bar, small
drift punch and a drive socket set. For recommended tool and wrench sizes, refer
to Section 6, Tables 6.3 through 6.10.
1.8 Actuator Storage
For applications where the actuator is not placed into immediate service, it is recommended
that the actuator be cycled with regulated clean/dry pneumatic pressure at least once per
month. Indoor storage, if available, is recommended for all actuators. Care should be taken
to plug all open ports on actuator and controls to keep out foreign particles and moisture.
Actuators should not be stored in an atmosphere that is harmful to resilient seals. Contact
factory for extended storage period.
