When handling this type of valves please pay attention to the following points: Do not attach the crane directly to the valve actuator. The valves are supplied with lifting lugs for that purpose and due to the valve weight the actuator could be easily damaged. Do not lift the valve by the valve bore. This can cause damages on the seating surfaces and sealings. SAFETY WARNING Check that the crane is rated to carry the weight of the valve. Make sure that the valve is correctly secured and fastened. During the assembling and dismounting it is recommended to lift the valve with soft straps.
