1.7 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:
DON’T EXCEED THE PERMITTED VALUES!

EXCEEDING THE PERMITTED PRESSURE VALUE 

MARKED ON THE ACTUATOR MAY CAUSE DAMAGE 

AND LEAD TO UNCONTROLLED PRESSURE RELEASE 

IN THE WORST CASE. DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT 

AND PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.

CAUTION:
DON’T DISMANTLE A PRESSURIZED ACTUATOR!

DISMANTLING A PRESSURIZED ACTUATOR LEADS TO 

UNCONTROLLED PRESSURE RELEASE. SHUT OFF 

THE SUPPLY PRESSURE AND RELEASE PRESSURE 

FROM THE CYLINDER BEFORE DISMANTLING THE 

ACTUATOR. OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY AND 

DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT.

CAUTION:
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ON THE 

ACTUATOR WARNING PLATES!

CAUTION:
BEFORE OPENING THE CYLINDER FASTENING 

SCREWS (11), RELEASE SPRING TENSION DIRECTED 

ON ACTUATOR WARNING PLATE AND IN THESE 

INSTRUCTIONS!

CAUTION:
DON’T DISMANTLE THE SPRING MODULE!

DO NOT REMOVE THE SPRING MODULE WHILE THE 

SPRING IS COMPRESSED OR UNDER PRESSURE.

CAUTION:
TAKE THE WEIGHT OF THE ACTUATOR OR VALVE 

COMBINATION INTO ACCOUNT WHEN HANDLING IT!
LIFTING LUGS ON THE ACTUATOR ARE MEANT ONLY 

FOR LIFTING ACTUATOR AND NOT COMPLETE VALVE 

ASSEMBLY.

DO NOT LIFT THE VALVE COMBINATION FROM 

THE ACTUATOR, POSITIONER, LIMIT SWITCH OR 

THEIR PIPING. LIFT THE ACTUATOR AS DIRECTED 

IN SECTION 2, LIFTING ROPES FOR A VALVE 

COMBINATION SHOULD BE FASTENED AROUND IT. 

THE WEIGHTS ARE SHOWN IN SECTION 9. DROPPING 

MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO 

THE EQUIPMENT.

WARNING FOR ATEX: 
WHILE LIFTING ACTUATOR HOUSING SHOULD NOT 

IMPACT ON THE OTHER LIGHT OR RUSTY METAL .

CAUTION:
POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD, DO 

NOT RUB SURFACE WITH DRY CLOTH.

WARNING FOR ATEX: 
INSPECT FOR PAINT DAMAGED, TO ENSURE
