Lifting the regulator

To install a large regulator into the pipeline,
use lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift)
to lift it.
Lifting instructions
Î Use a hook with safety latch to secure the
slings from slipping off the hook during
lifting and transporting (see Fig. 4-1).
Î Secure slings against slipping.
Î Make sure the slings can be removed af-
ter installation.
Î Prevent the regulator from tilting or tip-
ping.
Î Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
Î 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
