Damage to the valve due to improper fastening of the sling! Check the scope of supply. Compare the delivered goods The welded-on lifting eyes on SAMSON actuators are used only with the delivery note. for actuator assembling and disassembling as well as for lifting Check the supply for transport damage.
Shipment and on-site transport DANGER Danger due to incorrect lifting and transport! The lifting points for the lifting slings shown in the schematic drawing serve as examples for most valve variants. On site the conditions for lifting and transporting the valve can change how- ever.
Page 21
Shipment and on-site transport The valve must be stored in its protective packaging and/or with the protective caps on the connection ends. The packaging should protect the scratch-sensitive plastic lin- ing of the valve against damage. Valves that weigh more than approx. 10 kg should be stored on a pallet (or supported similarly).
