Transport, storage and packaging
4.1
Transport
.
For transport to place of installation, use sturdy packaging.
.
Do not attach ropes or hooks to the handwheel for the purpose of lifting by
hoist.
.
If part-turn actuator is mounted on valve, attach ropes or hooks for the
purpose of lifting by hoist to valve and not to part-turn actuator.
Fitting the ball handle:
To avoid damage during transport, the ball handles are fitted to the inside of
the handwheel. Prior to commissioning, the ball handle has to be fitted in
the correct position.
.
Remove cap nut (figure A).
.
Pull out ball handle and re-insert in correct position.
.
Fasten with cap nut.
.
Remove label from the handwheel for fitting the ball handle.
4.2
Storage
.
Store in 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.
If part-turn actuators are to be stored for a long time (more than 6 months),
the following points must be observed additionally:
.
Prior to storage: Protect uncoated surfaces, in particular the output drive
parts and mounting surface, with long-term corrosion protection agent.
.
Check for corrosion approximately every 6 months. If first signs of corro-
sion show, apply new corrosion protection.
After mounting, connect part-turn actuator immediately to
electrical mains, so that condensation is prevented by the
heater.

Packaging
Our products are protected by special packaging for the transport ex works.
The packaging consists of environmentally friendly materials which can
easily be separated and recycled.
We use the following packaging materials: wood, cardboard, paper, and
Polyurethane foam. For the disposal of the packaging material, we recom-
mend recycling and collection centers.
