4 Shipment and on-site trans-
port
The work described in this section is only to
be performed 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 valve and con-
trol thermostat nameplate match the
specifications in the delivery note. See
the 'Markings on the device' section for
nameplate details.
2. Check the shipment for transportation
damage. Report any damage to
SAMSON and the forwarding agent (re-
fer 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 'De-
sign and principle of operation' section.
4.2 Removing the packaging
from the regulator
The components (valve, control thermostat
and, if applicable, thermowell) of the regula-
tor are delivered separately.
Proceed as follows to lift and install the
valve:

Shipment and on-site transport

Î Do not open or remove the packaging
until immediately before lifting to install
the regulator into the pipeline.
Î Leave the regulator components in its
transport container or on the pallet to
transport it on site.
Î Do not remove the protective caps from
the inlet and outlet until immediately be-
fore installing the valve with flanges into
the pipeline. They prevent foreign parti-
cles from entering the valve.
Î Dispose and recycle the packaging in ac-
cordance with the local regulations.
4.3 Transporting and lifting the
regulator
Due to the low service weight, lifting equip-
ment is not required to lift and transport the
regulator (e.g. to install it into the pipeline).
Î Leave the regulator in its transport con-
tainer or on the pallet to transport it.
Î Observe the transport instructions.
Transport instructions
Î Protect the regulator against external in-
fluences (e.g. impact).
Î Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
Î Protect the regulator against moisture
and dirt.
Î The permissible ambient temperature of
standard regulators is –20 to +80 °C.
