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.
4.2.
Storage
Danger 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.
