Transport and storage
4.1.
Transport
For transport to place of installation, use sturdy packaging.
Suspended load!
Death or serious injury.
→
Do NOT stand below suspended load.
→
Attach ropes or hooks for the purpose of lifting by hoist only to housing and NOT
to handwheel.
→
Actuators mounted on valves: Attach ropes or hooks for the purpose of lifting
by hoist to valve and NOT to actuator.
→
Actuators mounted to gearboxes: Attach ropes or hooks for the purpose of lifting
by hoist only to the gearbox using eyebolts and NOT to the actuator.
→
Respect total weight of combination (actuator, gearbox, valve)
→
Secure load against falling down, sliding or tilting.
→
Perform lift trial at low height to eliminate any potential danger e.g. by tilting.
Information
Please refer to the technical data sheet for actuator weights.
4.2.
Storage
Risk of corrosion due to inappropriate storage!
→
Store in a well-ventilated, dry room.
→
Protect against floor dampness by storage on a shelf or on a wooden pallet.
→
Cover to protect against dust and dirt.
→
Apply suitable corrosion protection agent to uncoated surfaces.
Long-term storage
For long-term storage (more than 6 months), observe the following points:
1.
Prior to storage:
Protect uncoated surfaces, in particular the output drive parts and mounting
surface, with long-term corrosion protection agent.
2.
At an interval of approx. 6 months:
Check for corrosion. If first signs of corrosion show, apply new corrosion protec-
tion.
