Lifting  the  valve  in  the  wrong  way  may  cause  malfunctioning,  emission  of  water 
spurts, injuries to the personnel and permanent damages of the valve. 

 

Handling and storage 

Lifting  the  valve  improperly  may  damage  it  and  the  equipments  around.  It  is  mandatory  not  to 
fasten the valve around the circuit, fittings, pipes, solenoids or position indicators. Valves must be 
lifted  only  by  cables,  chains,  located  around  the  body,  through  the  flanges  holes  or  eyebolts.  
During  hoisting  always  consider  that  the  center  of  mass  depends  on  the  circuitry  and  pilots 
installed. 

If installation will be delayed place the valve indoors in a secure watertight storage. Should that be 
unavailable use a vermin proof rain cover around the valve to keep off rain , mud , humidity. Place 
the  valve  on  a  solid  and  well  drained  surface  base  to  prevent  moisture,  flood  from  reaching  the 
body.
