· Record all name plate data from identification tags on the actuator, motor and if applicable, the gearbox

· Visual inspection for damage to the outside of the actuator

· Inspect for grease leaks that may have developed on the actuator

· Manually stroke the actuator to check operation

· Remove a small grease sample to check for water or other foreign matter

· Open limit switch cover to check for the presence of grease or water

· Inspect for loose, damaged or hard brittle wires

· Inspect for corroded contacts

· Electrically operate the actuator to check for noisy bearings or binding during the valve stroke

· Check current draw on the motor during the operation to verify amperage draw is within nameplate tolerances
