Hint!
We recommend that the valve should be stored at a temperature of ≥ 5
°C for a period of 24 hours prior to any handling (disassembling the
housings / activation of actuators) so that any ice crystals formed by
condensation water can melt.
Only use approved, fully functional means of transport, lifting gear and slings
that are suitable for the purpose to transport the package units/valves.
Observe the maximum load-bearing capacities.
Observe the pictograms on the package.
Handle valves with care to avoid damage caused by impact or careless
loading and unloading. The outside synthetic materials are susceptible to
breaking.
Only allow qualified staff to transport the valve.
Movable parts must be properly secured.
Secure the valve against slipping. Take the weight of the valve into account
and the position of the point of gravity.
Under no circumstances should anyone stand under a suspended load.
Take care when transporting the valve. Do not grip sensitive parts of the unit
to lift or push the unit or to support yourself. Avoid putting the unit down with a
jerk.
