2.3 Storage
If the actuator needs storage before installation, follow these steps:
• Place it on a wood surface in order not to deteriorate the area of valve coupling.
• Make sure that plastic plugs are present on the hydraulic and electrical connections
(if present).
• Check that the protection of the control system and of the limit switch box (if any) are
properly closed.
If the storage is long-term or outdoor:
• Keep the actuator protected from direct weather conditions.
• Replace plastic plugs of hydraulic and electrical connections (if any) with metal plugs that
guarantee perfect tightness.
• Coat with oil, grease or protection disc, the valve coupling area.
• Periodically operate the actuator (Section 3.3).
