Shipment And On-Site Transport; Accepting The Delivered Goods; Removing The Packaging From The Actuator; Transporting And Lifting The Actuator - Samson 3730 Series Mounting And Operating Instructions

4 Shipment and on-site trans-
port
The work described in this chapter is to be
performed only by personnel appropriately
qualified to carry out such tasks.
4.1 Accepting the delivered
goods
After receiving the shipment, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Check the scope of delivery. Check that
the specifications on the actuator name-
plate match the specifications in the de-
livery note. See the 'Markings on the de-
vice' chapter for nameplate details.
2. Check the shipment for transportation
damage. Report any damage to
SAMSON and the forwarding agent
(refer to delivery note).
3. Determine the weight and dimensions of
the units to be lifted and transported in
order to select the appropriate lifting
equipment and lifting accessories. Refer
to the transport documents and the 'Tech-
nical data' chapter.
4.2 Removing the packaging
from the actuator
Observe the following sequence:
Î Do not open or remove the packaging
until immediately before mounting the
actuator.
Î Leave the actuator in its packaging to
transport it on site.

Shipment and on-site transport

Î Dispose and recycle the packaging in ac-
cordance with the local regulations.
4.3 Transporting and lifting the
actuator
Due to the low service weight, lifting equip-
ment is not required to lift and transport the
actuator (e.g. to mount it onto a valve). If lift-
ing equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) is to be
used, SAMSON has a gripping device avail-
able for the actuator (see section 'Accesso-
ries' in the 'Design and principle of opera-
tion' chapter).
4.3.1 Transporting the actu-
ator
Î Leave the actuator in its packaging 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.
− The permissible transportation tempera-
ture is between –20 and +65 °C.
