3. Unloading and storage
Check that the content of the delivery is as
ordered. Check that the actuator and related
equipment have not been damaged during
transportation.
Store the actuator carefully before installation,
preferably in a well-ventilated, dry place, on a
shelf or a wooden grid to protect it from rising
damp.
Protect bare metal surfaces, shaft parts, and
flange surfaces with anti-corrosive agent before
storage.
The actuator must be transported to the
installation site in a sturdy package. Do not
remove any protectors before installation.
Protect the actuator from dust and other
impurities.
NOTE:
If the actuator is delivered pre-
assembled with a valve refer to the
handling and lifting instructions of
the valve.
WARNING:
It is forbidden to lift the actuator
by the control block! Make sure
that lifting ropes or chains do
not even touch the control block
during lifting.
Take the weight of the actuator and valve into
account when handling them.
When delivered, the actuator is in the open
position. During storage, the actuator must also
be in the open position.
Maximum recommended storage time is two
years. If the actuator is stored for more than two
years, it should be operated and cleaned yearly.
