Measures for preparation
4.2.1 Transporting
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 of standard control valves is –20 to
+65 °C.
Contact SAMSON's After‑sales Service de‑
partment for the transportation temperatures
of other valve versions.
4.2.2 Lifting
To mount a large actuator, use lifting equip-
ment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift it.
Lifting instructions
−
Secure slings against slipping.
−
Make sure the slings can be removed
from the actuator once it has been
mounted onto the valve.
−
Prevent the actuator from tilting or tip-
ping.
−
Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
−
Make sure that the additional sling be-
tween the eyebolt or swivel lifting hook
and the rigging equipment (hook, shack-
le etc.) does not bear any load when lift-
ing control valves larger than DN 150
with the actuator already mounted. The
sling only protects the control valve from
tilting while being lifted. Before lifting the
control valve, tighten the sling.
Lifting the actuator (without valve)
Risk of actuator damage due to incorrectly
attached slings.
The eyebolt or swivel lifting hook on the top
diaphragm case is intended for mounting
and removing the actuator as well as lifting
the actuator without valve. Do not lift the en‑
tire control valve assembly using the eyebolt
or swivel lifting hook.
1. Attach a sling to the eyebolt or swivel lift-
ing hook of the actuator and to the rig-
ging equipment (e.g. hook) of the crane
or forklift (see Fig. 3).
2. Carefully lift the actuator. Check whether
the lifting equipment and accessories can
bear the weight.
3. Move the actuator at an even pace to the
mounting site.
