3 - TRANSPORT,
HANDLING AND
LIFTING
The hydrant must be transported in the proper packaging to
guarantee protection against external damage and bad weather.
In case of severe climate conditions, special plastic-sealed
packaging with desiccant products must be used.
Transport must be carried out carefully in order to avoid shock
and any kind of damage, especially to the coating. Careless
handling may cause damage to the hydrant. Prior to mounting,
such damage is to be repaired in an appropriate manner.
During the transport, the hydrant is delivered in the closed
position.
Check the weight of the hydrant, in this document, (table 3)
before commencing any operations. Hydrants too heavy to be
handled manually must be transported by means of a lifting
device suitable for the weight involved (e.g. broad belts). Avoid
use of chains and ropes, in order to protect the hydrants from
coating damage. The lifting device must:
• be placed securely around the body , respecting the center of
gravity,
• using the special lifting lug on the body of the hydrant.
It is forbidden to attach the lifting gear to the square cap, the
outlet claw or in the flange holes, as this would be contrary to the
relevant safety regulations.
