Actuator travel and installation

The outline sheet distinguishes the basic VM130/VM131 bodies, standard and one-way roller levers, toggle and three-position knob heads. Follow the model label beside each drawing. The shared knob drawing also identifies VM151; its five-port exhaust detail does not describe the two-port or three-port models above.
