Measures for preparation before installation
4.2.1 Transport
The regulator can be transported using lifting
equipment (e.g. crane or forklift).
Î Leave the regulator in its transport con-
tainer or on the pallet to transport it.
Î Observe the transport instructions.
Transport instructions
– Protecttheregulatoragainstexternalin-
uences(e.g.impact).
– Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
– Protect the regulator against moisture
and dirt.
– Observe the permissible ambient tem-
peratures(seesection3.1).
4.2.2 Lifting
To install a large regulator 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 af-
ter installation.
– Prevent the regulator from tilting or tip-
ping.
– Do not leave loads suspended when in-
terrupting work for longer periods of
time.

Lifting
1. Attachoneslingtotheangeofthe
body and to the rigging equipment (e.g.
hook)ofthecraneorforklift(seeFig.5).
2. Carefully lift the regulator. Check wheth-
er the lifting equipment and accessories
can bear the weight.
3. Move the regulator at an even pace to
the site of installation.
4. Install the regulator into the pipeline. See
section5.
5. After installation in the pipeline, check
whethertheregulatorangesarebolted
tight.
6. Remove slings.
We recommend using a hook with safety
latch (see Fig.5). The safety latch prevents
the slings from slipping during lifting and
transporting.
