Shipment and on-site transport
Risk of injury due to incorrect lifting without
the use of lifting equipment.
Lifting the actuator without the use of lifting
equipment may lead to injuries (back injury
in particular) depending on the weight of the
actuator.
Î
Observe the occupational health and
safety regulations valid in the country of
use.
Risk of actuator damage due to incorrectly
attached slings.
Î
Do not attach load-bearing slings to the
handwheel or any other mounting parts.
Î
Observe lifting instructions (see sec-
Our after-sales service can provide more
detailed transport and lifting instructions on

4.3.1
Transporting the actu
-
ator
The actuator can be transported using lifting
equipment (e.g. crane or forklift).
Î
Leave the actuator in its transport con-
tainer or on the pallet to transport it.
Î
Observe the transport instructions.
Transport instructions
− Protect the actuator against external in-
fluences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the actuator against moisture and
dirt.
− Observe permissible temperatures (see
'Technical data' in the 'Design and prin-
ciple of operation' section).
4.3.2
Lifting the actuator
To mount large actuators onto the valve, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Lifting instructions
− Use a hook with safety latch to secure the
slings from slipping off the hook during
lifting and transporting.
− Attach the slings in such a way that the
slings attached to the actuator housing
bear the entire load. Any other slings on-
ly serve to stabilize the position for trans-
porting.
− Secure slings on the object to be trans-
ported against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the actuator once it has been
mounted on the valve.
− Prevent the actuator from tilting or tip-
ping.
