RECEIVING INSPECTION
Immediately upon receipt the regulator should be
carefully inspected for evidence of shipping damage.
The shipping manifest should be checked to make sure
all listed materials have been received. Any damage or
material discrepancies should be noted on the shipping
manifest and a claim should be immediately filed with the
freight carrier. Discrepancies should also be brought to
the attention of the Howard Industries Regulator Division.
HANDlING
The regulator can be moved using the lifting lugs on the
sides of the tank and a suitably rated lifting sling. Use of
a spreader bar is also recommended. Figure 1 illustrates
the recommended method for lifting the regulator using
a spreader bar. Do not use the cover-mounted lifing eyes
for lifting the entire regulator. Cover-mounted lifting eyes
are to be used only for untanking the internal assembly.
A properly palletized regulator can also be lifted using a
forklift truck or pallet jack having the necessary weight
handling capacity. Refer to the regulator nameplate for
the unit’s weight to determine the suitability of a lifting
device.
STORAGE
The regulator should be stored in a manner that will
prevent damage. The control cabinet door should be
closed and latched.

WARNING
Falling equipment can cause death, serious personal
injury, or property damage. When lifting the entire
regulator, the tank-mounted lifting lugs must be used.
Do not use the cover-mounted lifting eyes to lift the
entire regulator. Doing so may cause the cover to
fracture or separate completely from the regulator.
Cover-mounted lifting eyes should be used only for
untanking the internal assembly.
