Transport, storage and disposal
For all transport work, observe generally
accepted engineering practice and the ac-
cident prevention regulations.
The valve is supplied with flange caps.
Do not remove them until just before instal-
lation. They protect the plastic surfaces
against dirt and mechanical damage.
Handle the goods being transported with care. During
transport protect the valve against impacts and colli-
sions.
Directly after receipt of the goods, the consignment
must be checked for completeness and any in-transit
damage.
Transport securing:
Set the star grip so that the stroke is limited to the min-
imum flow. The lever has a safety function and must
swing freely (dead man's position).
Transporting the valve using the lever is not permitted.
Do not damage paint protection.
5.1 Storage
If the valve is not installed immediately after delivery,
store them properly.
It should be stored in a dry, vibration-free and well-ven-
tilated room at as constant a temperature as possible.
Protect elastomers against UV light.
In general, a storage period of 10 years should not be
exceeded.
5.2 Return consignments
Valves which have conveyed aggressive
or toxic media must be well rinsed and
cleaned before being returned to the man-
ufacturer's works.
It is
imperative
to enclose a
safety information sheet
/ general safety certificate
on the field of application
with the return consignment.
Pre-printed forms are enclosed with the installation and
operating manual.
Safety precautions and decontamination methods are
to be mentioned.
5.3 Disposal
Parts of the valve may be contaminated with medium
which is detrimental to health and the environment and
therefore cleaning is not sufficient.
Risk of personal injury or damage to the
environment due to the medium!
♦
Wear protective clothing when work is performed on
the valve.
♦
Prior to the disposal of the valve:
▪
Collect any medium, etc. which has escaped and
dispose of it in accordance with the local regula-
tions.
▪
Neutralise any medium residues in the valve.
♦
Separate valve materials (plastics, metals, etc.) and
dispose of them in accordance with the local regu-
lations.
