NOTICE
!
Risk of actuator damage due to incorrectly
attached slings.
Only use the lifting eyelets/eyebolts or swivel
hoist on SAMSON actuators to lift the actua-
tor without the valve. Do not use these lash-
ing points to lift the entire control valve as-
sembly.
Î When lifting the control valve, make sure
that the slings attached to the valve body
bear the entire load.
Î Do not attach load-bearing slings to the
handwheel or any other 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).
4-2
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the actuator against moisture and
dirt.
− Observe permissible temperatures (see
'Technical data' in the 'Design and prin-
ciple of operation' section).
4.3.2
Lifting the actuator
To mount large actuators onto the valve, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Lifting instructions
− Use a hook with safety latch to secure the
slings from slipping off the hook during
lifting and transporting (see Fig. 4-1).
− 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.
− Prevent the actuator from tilting or tip-
ping.
− Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
