2 Transportation, Storage & Handling
The following points should be observed during transportation and intermediate storage:
• The actuator should be stored in a dry environment until installation.
• The transportation and storage temperature should be between -30°C and +60°C.
• The actuator should be protected against external forces (jolting, impact, vibrations etc.).
• Damages to the corrosion proofing (coating, oiled surfaces etc.) are to be repaired immediately.
• Intermediate storage for more than 6 months is to be avoided at all costs.
• If the actuator is already fitted to a valve, the transportation, storage- and handling conditions for the
valve shall also be observed
It shall be ensured that lifting eyes for chain hoists are available at the correct height above the installation
site. It would be even better if sliding rails or swivel arms with hoisting gear were available at the place of
installation.
Fig. 1 gives examples of handling possibilities for fitting the actuators.

If the actuator is mounted on a valve, the chain hoists used for fitting the subassembly are to be attached to
the valve.
