Measures
Risk of valve damage due to incorrectly at-
tached slings.
− When lifting the control valve, make sure
that the slings attached to the valve body
bear the entire load.
− Do not attach load-bearing slings to the
actuator, handwheel or any other parts.
− Observe lifting instructions (see sec-
tion4.2.2).
SAMSON's After-sales Service department
can provide more detailed transport and lift-
ing instructions on request.

(paint, surface coatings). Remove any
damage immediately.

Contact SAMSON's After-sales Service de-
partment for the transportation temperatures

4.2.2 Lifting
To install a large valve into the pipeline, use
lifting equipment (e.g. crane or forklift) to lift
it.
Lifting instructions
− Secure slings against slipping.
− Make sure the slings can be removed
from the valve once it has been installed
into the pipeline.
− Prevent the control valve from tilting or
tipping.
− Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.
− Make sure that the axis of the pipeline is
always horizontal during lifting and the
axis of the plug stem is always vertical.
