Shipment and on-site transport
Conditions for lifting
Ö Use a hook with a safety clamp as the suspension element,
see Figure 4-1, so that the sling cannot slip off the hook
during lifting and transport.
Ö Secure the sling against shifting and slipping off.
Ö Fasten the sling such that it can be removed again after
installation in the pipe.
Ö Avoid swinging and tipping the valve. Pay attention to the
centre of gravity!
Ö In the case of interruptions in work, do not leave the lifting
equipment suspended in the air for a long period of time.
Danger due to incorrect lifting and transport!
