WARNING
!
Risk of injury due to incorrect lifting without
the use of lifting equipment.
Lifting the actuator without the use of lifting
equipment may lead to injuries (back injury
in particular) depending on the weight of the
actuator.
Î Observe the occupational health and
safety regulations valid in the country of
use.
NOTICE
!
Risk of actuator damage due to incorrectly
attached slings.
Î Do not attach load-bearing slings to
mounting parts.
Î Observe lifting instructions (see sec-
tion 4.3.2).
Tip
Our after-sales service can provide more de-
tailed transport and lifting instructions on re-
quest.
4.3.1
Transporting the actu-
ator
The actuator can be transported using lifting
equipment (e.g. crane or forklift).
Î Leave the actuator in its transport con-
tainer or on the pallet to transport it.
Î Observe the transport instructions.

Transport instructions
− Protect the actuator against external in-
fluences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the actuator against moisture and
dirt.
− The permissible transportation tempera-
ture is between –20 and +65 °C.
4.3.2
Lifting the actuator
Due to the low service weight, lifting equip-
ment is not required to lift the actuator (e.g.
to mount it onto a valve). If lifting equipment
(e.g. crane or forklift) is to be used, we have
a gripping device available for the actuator
(see 'Accessories' in the 'Design and princi-
ple of operation' section).
Note
See valve documentation for more informa-
tion on lifting the entire control valve assem-
bly.
Lifting instructions using lifting equipment
− Use a hook with safety latch to secure the
slings from slipping off the hook during
lifting and transporting.
− Secure slings on the object to be trans-
ported against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the actuator once it has been
mounted on the valve.
