Figure 12
Lift ALGAS actuators (pneumatic spring-return) by means of the proper lifting points
represented and indicated on actuator by sticking labels. Also refer to Figure 12 for lifting
points positions.
• For lifting unbalanced loads, use ropes of different lengths or chains with
adjustable length.
• Check each time the conditions of all lifting equipment used and discard it if
not in perfect working order.
• Do not knot or twist the ropes so as not to reduce the lifting capacity or
produce torsional effects on the load being lifted.
• Use the utmost caution and remain at a safe distance from lifted actuator
unless absolutely necessary; do not stand or pass under suspended loads.
• Pay attention in putting under tension the ropes to prevent the load shifting
sideways in an uncontrolled manner.
• Use slings of such length that the angles of the leg from vertical are as narrow
as possible (αMAX < 20°).
• During handling, do not transport the suspended actuator above staff
members in charge of the operation.
!
WARNING
Do not use the lifting eyelets on actuator to lift valve + actuator assembly.
