2.1.2 Short Term Storage Procedures (less than 1 year)
NOTE: The following are our recommended storage procedures to retain maximum product integrity
during short-term storage. Failure to comply with recommended procedures will void the warranty. For
longer-term storage, contact Limitorque for procedures and recommendations.
Actuators are not weatherproof until properly installed on the valve or prepared for storage.
Store actuators in a clean, dry, protected warehouse away from excessive vibration and rapid tempera-
ture changes. If the actuators must be stored outside, they must be stored off the ground, high enough
to prevent them from being immersed in water or buried by snow.
1. Position the actuator in storage with motor and switch compartment horizontal.
2. Connect the internal heaters (if supplied) or place desiccant in the switch compartment.
3. Replace all plastic caps or plugs with pipe plugs and ensure that all covers are tight.
4. If the actuator is mounted on a valve and the stem protrudes from the unit, a suitable stem cover
must be provided.
