●
Never reach into the lantern (9) or the valve housing (391) when the valve is switch-
ing. Fingers can be crushed or cut off.
●
On a spring-closing valve there is danger of injury when the clamp connection (43) is
opened, as the released spring pretension will suddenly lift the actuator. Therefore,
release the spring tension before detaching the clamp connection (43) by supplying
the actuator (A) with compressed air.
●
The housing sockets (391) have very sharp edges. When transporting and installing
the valve be sure to wear suitable protective gloves.
●
On versions with proximity switch holder do not put your fingers in the slots (C).
Dangerous situations can be avoided by safety-conscious and proactive behaviour of
the personnel and by wearing personal protective equipment.
