Warning – Danger of injuries due to slipping meter.
The center of gravity for the complete device may be higher than the lifting straps.
Make sure the device has not rotated or slipped unintentionally during transport. Support the

For transport of flanged units smaller than DN 450 use a lifting strap. Wrap the straps around
both process connections when lifting the device. Avoid chains since these may damage the
housing.
