2.4 Lifting the EHO Actuator
NOTE:
All Bettis EHO G-Series Considerations
When handling any EHO G-Series, be aware of tubing, accessories, hand pump,
accumulators, Pushbutton module and control enclosures. Straps and chains can become
entangled and cause damage to these components. Never use chains on the spring
cartridge as it may warp and cause the actuator not to function correctly or may cause
personal injury.
NOTE:
Do not use hydraulic tubing and electrical cable for lifting.
CAUTION:
Be sure to use appropriately rated crane/hoist and straps/chains to raise and lower
the actuator.
2.4.1 G01X – G2 and All E-Series Actuators
2.4.1.1
Horizontal Pipeline Vertical Stem
The small G-Series and all E-Series actuators mounting on a horizontal
pipeline with a vertical valve stem should be supported under the
“C” bracket and a two-point attachment for balance. A strap may be
attached to the stabilization tab on the spring module to balance the
unit while lifting. The weight of the actuator must be supported at the
“C” bracket, not the stabilization tab. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 G01 – G2 and all E-Series Actuators with Horizontal Pipeline
and Vertical Stem
CAUTION:
Never lift the actuator with a valve attached. Always handle actuator/valve assemblies
by attaching lifting equipment to the valve only.
