II. Transportation and Storage
1. Precautions
(1) Do not come close to the valve lifting area.
(2) Use a hanging bolt or hold the valve neck section securely for lifting. Using the lever
handle or handwheel for lifting may damage the product by falling down.
(3) Do not give any impact to the valve by dropping, throwing or dragging.
(4) Do not pile up valves for storage. Unstable piling may
damage the valves or cause personal injury.
(5) Do not store the valve with the carton boxkept open. The valve function may be impaired due to the
intrusion of foreign objects.
(6) Do not expose packaged valves to rainwater, etc. High humidity may
deteriorate the package.
(7) Store valves in a dry and well-ventilated indoor place.

Document No.: KE-2032-01 7/18
II. Transportation and Storage
2. Transportation
2.1 Keep valves in the original packages during transportation and until just before installation.
2.2 High humidity may damage the strength of carton cases. Care shall be taken when handling such
deteriorated carton cases.
2.3 Take care not to damage painted valve surfaces during transportation. Repair the damaged surface to
prevent corrosion.
3. Storage
3.1 Place the packaged valves on the pallet, etc., for storage. Placing packaged valves directly on the ground
or concrete floor must be avoided.
3.2 Do not store valves in a corrosive environment. It may cause corrosion on the threaded areas, leading to
a malfunction of valve.
3.3 Do not place any objects on valves, or do not step on them. Overloading may damage the valve.
