Clamp valve body in a holding device (applies only to valves not 
yet installed).
→
Cross-loosen fastening screws and remove actuator with dia-
phragm from the body.
→
Detach or unscrew old diaphragm. If attachment is with a 
bayonet catch, loosen the diaphragm by turning it 90° (see table 
„Tab. 10: Fastening types for diaphragm“).
→
Turn handwheel all the way clockwise (CLOSED position).
→
Install new diaphragm in the actuator (see „Tab. 10: Fastening 
types for diaphragm“).
→
Turn handwheel all the way counter-clockwise (OPEN position).
→
Align diaphragm.

→
Place actuator back on the body.
→
Lightly cross-tighten the fastening screws until the diaphragm is

→
Activate the diaphragm valve once to position the diaphragm 
correctly.
→
Tighten the fastening screws with the valve in the open position up 
to the permitted tightening torque (see tables in chapter „10.2.1
