Protect the regulator against moisture
–
and dirt.
Observe the permissible ambient tem-
–
peratures (see section 3.1).
4.2.2

Lifting

To install a large regulator into the pipeline,
use lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift)
to lift it.
Lifting instructions
Secure slings against slipping.
–
Make sure the slings can be removed af-
–
ter installation.
Prevent the regulator from tilting or tip-
–
ping.

24
Make sure that the axis of the pipeline is
–
always horizontal during lifting and the
axis of the plug stem is always vertical.
Lifting
1. Attach one sling to the flange of the
body and to the rigging equipment (e.g.
hook) of the crane or forklift (see Fig. 5).
2. Carefully lift the regulator. Check wheth-
er the lifting equipment and accessories
can bear the weight.
3. Move the regulator at an even pace to
the site of installation.
4. Install the regulator into the pipeline. See
section 5.
5. After installation in the pipeline, check
whether the regulator flanges are bolted
tight.
6. Remove slings.
Tip
We recommend using a hook with safety
latch (see Fig. 5). The safety latch prevents
the slings from slipping during lifting and
transporting.
