4 Shipment and on-site transport
The work described in this section is only to be performed by
fully trained and qualified personnel.
4.1 Accepting the delivered goods
After receiving the shipment, proceed as follows:
1. Check the scope of delivery. Check that the specifications
on the actuator 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 lif-
ted and transported in order to select the appropriate lif-
ting equipment and lifting accessories. Refer to the trans-
port documents and to the actuator model Technical data
sheet.
4.2 Removing the packaging from the actu-
ator
Do not open or remove the packaging until immediately befo-
re mounting the actuator.
Leave the actuator in its transport container or on the pallet to
transport it on site.
Dispose and recycle the packaging in accordance with the
local regulations.
4.3 Transporting and lifting the actuator
DANGER
!
Risk of severe personal injury due to suspended loads fal-
ling.
Î Stay far from suspended or moving loads.
Î Close off and secure the transport parths.
WARNING
!
Risk of lifting equipment tipping over and risk of damage to
lifting accessories due to exceeding the rated lifting capa-
city.
Î Use only approved lifting equipment and accessories who-
se maximum lifting capacity is higher than the actuator
weight (including the packaging, if applicable).
NOTICE
!
Risk of actuator damage due to incorrectly attached slings.
Only attach load slings to vertically lift the actuator on its
own.The lifting points must not be used to lift the actuator and
valve assembly.
Î Do not attach load-bearing slings to the travel stop or to
accessories.
Î Do not use damaged or defective slings.
EB 8325 EN
Î Do not shorten the slings with knots or bolts or other ma-
keshift devices.
Î Observe lifting instructions (see section 4.3.2).
Tip
Our after-sales service can provide more detailed transport
and lifting instructions on request.
4.3.1
Transporting the actuator
The actuator can be transported using proper lifting equip-
ment (e.g. crane or forklift).
Î Leave the actuator in its transport container or on the pal-
let to transport it.
Î Observe the transport instructions.
Transport instructions
− Protect the actuator against external influences (e.g. im-
pact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection (paint, surface
coatings). Repair any damage immediately.
− Protect the actuator against moisture and dirt.
− Observe permissible temperatures (refer to the section 3.3
'Technical data').
4.3.2
Lifting the actuator
Observe the ruling regulations corcerning the lifting opera-
tions.
To mount large actuators onto the valve, use lifting equipment
(e.g. crane or forklift) to lift it.
Do not drill extra holes into the actuator.
Do not use the actuator lifting points to lift the actuator and
valve assembly.
Fig. 4-1
Use appropriate tackles and slings to lift the actuator.
Î Refer to technical data sheet for the actuator weight.
