Storage
If the actuator needs storage, before installation follow these steps:
•
Place it on a wood surface in order not to deteriorate the area of valve coupling.
•
Make sure that plastic plugs are present on the hydraulic and electrical
connections (if present).
•
Check that the cover of the control group and of the limit switch box (if any) are
properly closed.
If the storage is long-term or outdoor:
•
Keep the actuator protected from direct weather conditions.
•
Replace plastic plugs of hydraulic and electrical connections (if any) with metal
plugs that guarantee perfect tightness.
•
Coat with oil, grease or protection disc, the valve coupling area.
•
Periodically operate the actuator (Section 3).
