Measures for preparation
Risk of valve damage due to incorrectly at -
tached slings.
The welded‑on lifting eyelet on SAMSON
actuators is only intended for mounting and
removing the actuator as well as lifting the
actuator without valve. Do not use this lifting
eyelet to lift the entire control valve assembly.
−
When lifting the control valve, make sure
that the slings attached to the valve body
bear the entire load.
−
Do not attach load-bearing slings to the
actuator, handwheel or any other parts.
−
Observe lifting instructions (see sec -
tion 4.2.2).
SAMSON's After‑sales Service department
can provide more detailed transport and lift-
ing instructions on request.
