1. It
is
recommended
that
strainers
always
be
installed
(even
if
not
supplied
with
unit)
before
Steamix
203
downstream
of
all
other
components
including
check
valves.
2.
Do
not
use
this
product
with
superheated
steam.
Failure
to
heed
this
warning
may
result
in
serious
injury.
3. This
product
is
designed
strictly
for
Industrial
Processes
and
Hose
Down
applications.
Do
not
use
for
safety
shower/eye
wash
stations,
hand-washing
or
any
other
type
of
personal
hygiene.
4.
Do
not
leave
the
hose
under
pressure.
Failure
to
follow
this
recommendation
may
lead
to
premature
hose
degradation
and
possible
rupture.
5. The
gland
seal
may
have
relaxed
during
shipment.
Before
use,
firmly
tighten
the
two
gland
screws
equally
using
the
5/32î
Allen
key
supplied.
6. Install
steam
rated
inlet
check
valves
on
both
steam
and
water
supplies
to
prevent
backflow
through
the
mixing
valve.
Check
valves
will
assist
in
the
prevention
of
a
cross
connection
in
the
event
that
Steamix
flow
controls
are
left
open
and
an
outlet
flow
control
(spray
nozzle)
is
closed.
In
addition,
under
certain
circumstances,
backflow
may
create
a
pressure
differential
across
the
diaphragm
great
enough
to
allow
the
poppet
valve
to
open
and
steam
to
flow.
Without
inlet
flow
being
present,
this
becomes
a
potentially
dangerous
condition.
7. Steamix
203
uses
the
supply
steam
so
efficiently
that
it
is
possible
to
set
the
mixing
valve
to
deliver
boiling
water
that
may
flash
to
steam
upon
reaching
the
atmosphere
at
the
valve
outlet.
This
phenomenon
should
not
be
mistaken
for
valve
failure
or
the
passing
of
pressurized
"
live
"
supply
steam.
8.
Do
not
use
petroleum-based
lubricants
on
this
product.
9. Use
only
Silicone-based
lubricants.
