Transporting The Valve - Samson EB 8015 EN 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
actuators is only intended for mounting and
removing the actuator as well as lifting the
actuator 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.
