All personnel involved should read and understand all applicable sections of this manual
before attempting to install, operate, service, or perform maintenance on any operators.

manual can.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure proper safety. Always take necessary
precautions and utilize proper personal protective equipment when dealing with
compressed air, compressed hydraulic fluid, pinch points, and electricity.
It is necessary to rig and lift valve and operator separately. Service personnel needs to
ensure the lifting capacity of the crane/hoist/rigging is appropriate for the desired load.
Block the power gas supply and depressurize the system before attempting to
install or service. Isolate the power gas from controls if the operator is supplied with a
control system.
Caustic gases and fluids may be contained in the operators and valves in most applications.
Vent all poisonous or flammable gases and store all liquids in a safe location to prevent
personnel injury. Discharge at sonic velocity may occur when venting or releasing pressure;
service personnel must utilize proper hearing protection.
