being returned to service.

12.  

WARNING: 

It  is  the  end  users  responsibility  to  ensure 

properly loaded and/or supported piping to avoid undesired 

stresses on the product which may result in damage to the 

product, loss of containment, or loss of functionality and 

resulting unsafe states or conditions. 

13.  

WARNING:

  It  is  the  end  users  responsibility  to  correctly 

identify end locations and place product in areas that do not 

contain explosive atmospheres.

14.  

WARNING: 

The  failure  of  properly  following  the  test, 

installation,  maintenance  and/or  disassembly/assembly 

instructions may result in a compromised product which 

in turn could result in an uncontrolled/unexpected loss of 

containment and release of pressure and heated flammable 

gas. It is the responsibility of the person conducting the tasks 

listed above to take great care in following such procedures.

15. 

 WARNING:

  For  products  installed  in  areas  with  explosive 

media in the surrounding environment, it is the end users 

responsibility that only properly trained personnel evaluate, 

install, and work on such installations, and in accordance 

with safe site work practices.

16.  

WARNING: 

It  is  the  end  users  responsibility  to  recognize 

and safely contain any leak. Failure to do so could result in 

injury or death..

1. 

 CAUTION: 

Heed all service manual warnings. Read 

installation instructions before installing valve(s).

2.  

CAUTION:

  Ensure  proper  Personal  Protective  Equipment

3.  

CAUTION: 

Wear  hearing  protection  when  testing  or 

operating valve(s).

against toxic media. 

6.  

CAUTION: 

Proper lifting techniques / equipment / procedures 

(refer to O&M manual for additional information), per Safe 

Site Work Practices, are the end users responsibility. 

7.  

CAUTION: 

During  assembly  or  maintenance  and  under 

operation in some conditions the operators or technicians 

should  be  alert  and  aware  of  all  possible  pinch  points  or 

areas where there are moving or sliding components.
