SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When the safety valve is under pressure never place
any part of your body near the outlet of the valve.
The valve outlet and any separate drains should
be piped or vented to a safe location.
Always wear proper safety gear to protect hands,
head, eyes, ears, etc. anytime you are near
pressurized valves.
Never attempt to remove the safety valve from
a system that is pressurized.
Never make adjustments to or perform
maintenance on the safety valve while in service
unless the valve is isolated from the system
pressure. If not properly isolated from the system
pressure, the safety valve may inadvertently open
resulting in serious injury.
Remove the safety valve prior to performing any
pressure testing of the system.
The safety of lives and property often depends on
the proper operation of the safety valve. The valve
must be maintained according to appropriate
instructions and must be periodically tested and
reconditioned to ensure correct function.
