The safety latch preventsthe slings from slipping during lifting andtransporting.4.3 StorageRisk of valve damage due to improper stor-age.− Observe storage instructions.− Avoid long storage times.− Contact SAMSON in case of different stor-age conditions or longer storage times.We recommend regularly checking the con-trol valve and the prevailing storage condi-tions during long storage times.Storage instructions− Protect the control valve against externalinfluences (e.g. impact).− Do not damage the corrosion protection(paint, surface coatings). Remove anydamage immediately.− Protect the control valve against moistureand dirt. Store it at a relative humidity ofless than 75 %. In damp spaces, preventcondensation. If necessary, use a dryingagent or heating.− Make sure that the ambient air is free ofacids or other corrosive media.− The permissible storage temperature ofstandard control valves is –4 to +149 °F(–20 to +65 °C).Contact SAMSON’s After-sales Service de-partment for the storage temperatures of oth-er valve versions.− Do not place any objects on the controlvalve.TipNOTICE!NoteNote
