1. Thread 1/4-28 jam nut (1) onto valve stem (5) until
3/8" of valve stem is above the nut.
2. Thread stem extension (2) onto valve stem (5) and
tighten against jam nut (1).
3. Thread nut (3) as far as possible onto stem extension
(2).
4. Place flat washer (4) on top of nut (3) (on HPO–5211
and HPO–5212 linkage only).
5. Screw linkage (6) onto valve. Tighten aluminum
bonnet adaptor (8) against valve mounting nut (13).
6. Thread 2 setscrews (7) in evenly until screws contact
flats on brass bonnet. Do not fully tighten screws to
flats on bonnet.
7. Loosen 2 screws (12) and rotate linkage (6) to
desired position in relation to valve body. Tighten 2
screws (12).
8. While facing lever (9), rotate lever counterclockwise
until connecting rod (10) contacts lower stem nut (3).
9. Thread upper stem nut (11) onto stem extension (2)
until 1/16" to 1/8" of stem extension is visible above
nut (11).
10. Rotate lever (9) clockwise to lift connecting rod (10)
up and around flats on upper stem nut (11).
11. While holding connecting rod (10) with wrench
to keep from twisting, tighten lower stem nut (3)
against connecting rod.
12. Rotate lever (9) until valve stem is in full up
position. Loosen setscrews on lever hub and
reposition so that the end of the lever handle is just
inside the left side of the linkage housing. Tighten 2
setscrews on lever hub.
