Transporting The Valve - Samson 3251 Mounting And Operating Instructions

Shipment and on-site transport
WARNING
!
Risk of personal injury due to the control
valve tipping over.
Î Observe the valve's center of gravity.
Î Secure the valve against tipping over or
turning.
WARNING
!
Risk of injury due to incorrect lifting without
the use of lifting equipment.
Lifting the control valve without the use of lift-
ing equipment may lead to injuries (back in-
jury in particular) depending on the weight
of the control valve.
Î Observe the occupational health and
safety regulations valid in the country of
use.
NOTICE
!
Risk of valve damage due to incorrectly at-
tached slings.
The lifting eyelet/eyebolt on SAMSON actu-
ators is only intended for mounting and re-
moving the actuator as well as lifting the ac-
tuator without valve. Do not use this lashing
point to lift the entire control valve assembly.
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
actuator, handwheel or any other parts.
Î Observe lifting instructions (see Chap-
ter 4.3.2).

Tip
A swivel hoist can be screwed into
SAMSON actuators with a female thread on
the top diaphragm case in place of the
eyebolt (see associated actuator
documentation).
In contrast to the lifting eyelet/eyebolt, the
swivel hoist is designed for setting a control
valve assembly upright.
The sling between the swivel hoist and rig-
ging equipment (hook, shackle etc.) must not
bear any load when lifting a control valve
assembly. The sling only protects the control
valve from tilting while being lifted.
Tip
Our after-sales service can provide more de-
tailed transport and lifting instructions on re-
quest.
4.3.1

Transporting the valve

The control valve can be transported using
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift).
Î Leave the control valve in its transport
container or on the pallet to transport it.
Î Observe the transport instructions.
Transport instructions
− Protect the control valve against external
influences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
