important to carefully read, understand, and follow all the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and
warnings. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson Process Management sales office
before proceeding.
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
Personal injury or property damage caused by sudden release of pressure or bursting of pressure retaining parts may result
if service conditions exceed those for which the product was intended. To avoid injury or damage, provide a relief valve for
over pressure protection as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
CAUTION
This valve is intended for a specific range of pressures, temperatures and other application specifications. Applying
different pressures and temperatures to the valve could result in parts damage, malfunction of the control valve or loss of
control of the process. Do not expose this product to service conditions or variables other than those for which the product
was intended. If you are not sure what these conditions are you should contact your Emerson Process Management sales
office for more complete specifications. Provide the product serial numbers (shown on the nameplate) and all other
pertinent information.
WARNING
If you move or work on an actuator installed on a valve with loading pressure applied, keep your hands and tools away
from the stem travel path to avoid personal injury. Be especially careful when removing the stem connector to release all
loading on the actuator stem whether it be from air pressure on the diaphragm or compression in the actuator springs.
Likewise take similar care when adjusting or removing any optional travel stop. Refer to the relevant actuator Maintenance
Instructions.
Maintenance
WARNING
Avoid personal injury and property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before
performing any maintenance operations:
D
Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations.
D
Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
