For transport, the following principles apply:
●
When transporting the valve be sure to unscrew the control top and the switch bar
from the actuator (2) and use the screwed-in eye bolt (1), material no. 221-104.98,
to lift the valve.
●
Only use suitable hoist and slings for transporting the package units/valves.
●
Observe the pictograms on the package.
●
Handle valves with care to avoid damage caused by impact or careless loading and
unloading. The outside synthetic materials are susceptible to breaking.
●
Control tops must be protected from animal and vegetable fats.
●
Only allow qualified staff to transport the valve.
●
Movable parts must be properly secured.
●
Only use approved, fully functional load lifting devices and lifting accessories which
are suitable for the intended purpose. Observe the maximum load-bearing capaci-
ties.
●
Secure the valve against slipping. Take the weight of the valve into account and the
position of the point of gravity.
●
Under no circumstances should anyone stand under a suspended load.
●
Take care when transporting the valve. Do not grip sensitive parts of the unit to lift
or push the unit or to support yourself. Avoid jerky movements when putting down
the unit.
