HD ACTUATOR LIMIT SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Adjustment of limit switches on a linear actuator requires basic knowledge of geared electric

motor functions. End users lacking this knowledge are strongly advised to seek professional help when

adjusting limit switches. Failure adjusting limit switches properly can result in permanent damage to the

linear actuator that is not covered under Windy Nation's warranty.

NOTE: The limit-switches are factory-set for maximum stroke-length and protection of the motor unit

against over-extending. Do not run the actuator without being fully assembled.

For bench testing, hold the inner tube securely when moving in and out to prevent twisting that may

destroy the limit settings.

RESET LOWER LIMIT

The factory preset mechanical lower limit is 1/4″ to 1/2″ from the retracting end of the actuator

1. If the actuator has been installed, detach it first.

2. Retract the actuator until the motor stops by itself.

3. Use a screwdriver through the rod end or hand-turn the actuator to retract it until it cannot be

turned anymore. The lower limit is now set on zero inches (0”).

4. Hand-turn the inner tube to extend to your desired mechanical lower limit. At least 2 to 4 turns

out are recommended (1/4″ to 3/4″)

MAKE SURE THE ACTUATOR IS PROTECTED AT ITS LOWER MECHANICAL LIMITS, WHEN MOUNTED

RESET UPPER LIMIT

1. If the actuator reaches the farthest extension point:

a. Extend the actuator 2 additional turns (approx. 1/4″); this is where you want to set the

upper limit.
