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 suitable lifting gear and slings for transporting the package units/valves.
• Observe the pictograms on the package.
• Handle valves with care to avoid damaged caused by impact or careless onloading
and unloading. The outside synthetic materials are susceptible to breaking.
• The control modules must be protected from animal and vegetable fats.
• Only allow qualified staff to transport the valve.
• Movable parts must be properly secured.
• Only use approved, fully functional load lifting devices and lifting accessories which
are suitable for the intended purpose. Observe the maximum load-bearing capaci-
ties.
• 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 valve to lift
or push the valve or support yourself. Avoid putting the valve down with a jerk.
Storage
Valves, valve inserts or spare parts should be stored in a dry place, free of vibrations
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 so that any ice crystals formed by condensation water
can melt.
