Scope of Supply
On receipt of the valve check whether
• the details on the type plate correspond to the data in the order and delivery docu-
ments,
• the equipment is complete and all components are in good order.
Transport
For transport, the following principles apply:
• Only use approved, fully functional means of transport, lifting gear and slings that
are suitable for the purpose to transport the package units/valves. Observe the
maximum load-bearing capacities.
• Observe the pictograms on the package.
• Handle valves with care to avoid damage caused by impact or careless loading and
unloading. The outside synthetic materials are susceptible to breaking.
• Only allow qualified staff to transport the valve.
• Movable parts must be properly secured.
• Secure the valve against slipping. Take the weight of the valve into account and the
position of the point of gravity.
• Under no circumstances should anyone stand under a suspended load.
• Take care when transporting the valve. Do not grip sensitive parts of the unit to lift or
push the unit or to support yourself. Avoid putting the unit down with a jerk.
Storage
The valves, valve inserts or spare parts should be stored in a dry place, free of vibra-
tions and dust. To avoid damage, leave the components in their original packaging if
possible.
If, during transport or storage, the valve is going to be exposed to temperatures
≤
0°C, it
must be dried and suitable measures be taken to protect it from damage.
NOTE
We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of
≥
5°C for a period of
24 hours prior to any handling (disassembling the housings / activation of actuators) so
that any ice crystals formed by condensation water can melt.
