6 Transportation and Storage
Safety instructions:
Transportation and
storage
WARNING
The permissible ambient conditions for the valves must
be maintained at all times including transportation and
storage.
Chapter "4 Technical Data", page 25
The valves must be protected in particular to prevent entry
of dust and moisture.
Fault-free, reliable and safe operation cannot be guaranteed if
the above requirements are not observed.
WARNING
The valves must not be transported or stored without their
shipping plate mounted.
This is the only way of adequately protecting the valves
against the ingress of dirt and moisture and protecting the
seals against the effects of ozone and UV.
CAUTION
To provide protection against injuries or other damaging influ-
ences on health, suitable protective measures must be taken if
necessary prior to and when carrying out any work on the
valves or the machine, such as e.g., mounting or removing,
electrical or hydraulic connection, troubleshooting or servicing,
and when handling the valves, accessories, tools or hydraulic
fluids.
Chapter "2.6 Occupational safety and health", page 9
CAUTION
The valve shipping plate may only be removed from the valve
hydraulic ports directly prior to mounting and must be re-
mounted directly after the valve has been removed. This is the
only way of adequately protecting the valves against the in-
gress of dirt and moisture and protecting the seals against the
effects of ozone and UV.
The shipping plate and the associated fastening elements
(screws and nuts) must be kept for later use, e.g., during trans-
portation.
CAUTION
Do not misuse the connectors, mating connectors (plugs) and
connection cables of the valves, e.g., as a tread or transport
fixture.
CAUTION
To avoid condensation after the valves have been transported
or stored, wait until they have reached the ambient tempera-
ture before starting up the valves.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, always transport or store valves, spare parts
and accessories only in the properly sealed original packaging.
Warranty and liability claims for personal injury and damage to
property are excluded if they are caused by valves, spare parts
or accessories having been stored or transported outside their
original packaging.
