2.4.3.2 Horizontal Pipeline Horizontal Stem
The G4 – G7 Series actuators mounting on a horizontal pipeline with a
vertical valve stem should be supported using the lift lugs attached to the
drive module. A strap may be attached to the stabilization tab on spring
module to balance the unit while lifting. The weight of the actuator must
be supported by the lugs at drive module, not the stabilization tab.
See Figure 5.

CAUTION
Never lift the actuator with a valve attached. Always handle actuator/valve assemblies by
attaching lifting equipment to the valve only.
