products specified for the system, referencing the latest
catalog, installation manual, Safety Precautions and all
materials related to the product.

Proportion, Inc. products cannot be used as an emergency
shutoff. A redundant safety system should be installed in
the system to prevent serious injury or loss of life.

Products and equipment should not be used where
harmful, corrosive or explosive materials or gases are
present. Unless certified, Proportion-Air, Inc. products
cannot be used with flammable gases or in hazardous

Electronics and pneumatics are very dangerous when
handled incorrectly. All industry standard safety guidelines
should be observed.
7. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Service and maintenance of machinery and equipment
should only be handled by trained and experienced
operators. Inspection should only be performed after
safety has been confirmed. Ensure all supply pressure has
been exhausted and residual energy (compressed gas,
springs, gravity, etc.) has been released in the entire
system prior to removing equipment for service or
maintenance.
Warning
Improper operation could result in serious injury to persons or
damages to equipment!

All pipes, pneumatic hose and tubing should be free of all
contamination, debris and chips prior to installation. Flush
pipes with compressed air to remove any loose particles.
