CAUTION! The sensor must be carefully lifted and moved so as not to cause damage to the sensor itself and
connection flanges. Below you will find a description of correct and incorrect lifting and moving.
The proper lifting method (for transport and installation) of the sensor is shown in Fig. 2. The flowmeter must be
lifted and transported by properly harnessing the device on the side parts of the flowmeter, making sure that
the slings (ropes, bands, etc.) are fixed to the appropriate eyebolts.
WARNING: Do not raise the flowmeter harnessing the converter (Fig. 3)!!
Do not move the flowmeter with the lifting device if it is not in the original packaging (Fig. 4) or without adequate
support that ensures the required stability.
