Garland Your Ultimate Guide to Grill Error Codes and Xpress Grill Manual for Linear Actuator Replacement

LINEAR ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT

1.Disconnect the cable from the Motor Speed Control.

2.Disconnect the motor leads from the wire harness.

3.With the platen in the UP position, support it with a pry bar, 2x4, etc., from behind the platen arm assembly. Pull the platen arm toward the rear of the grill to insert.

4.With the weight of the platen supported by the object inserted in step 3, use pliers to work the clevis pin retaining clip outward, making sure to grip it as close to the pin as possible to prevent deforming it.

5.Use the pliers to remove the spring clip from the pin at the base of the Linear Actuator.

6.Push the pin through the actuator base toward the inside of the grill. Reach around to the inside and remove.

7.Remove the Linear Actuator from the grill, carefully pulling it out the rear.

8.Support the weight of the platen while removing the pry bar. Then, carefully lower platen to the down position, resting it on the grill plate.

9.Screw NEW linear actuator shaft down approximately 2 turns from bottoming out. DO NOT completely bottom out shaft as it may not be long enough to reconnect the upper clevis clip.

10.Re-install linear actuator into rack assembly. If motor does not clear the cross member, use pry bar to gently lift and fit as previously done in step 3. Reinstall actuator base pin from inside and remount its spring clip.
