1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING !
Crush hazard arising from moving parts.
The actuator contains moving parts (actuator stem), which can injure hands or fingers if
inserted into the actuator.
Î
Do not touch the actuator stem or insert hands or finger into the yoke or beneath the
actuator stem while the air supply is connected to the actuator.
Î
While working on the actuator, disconnect and lock the pneumatic air supply as well
as the control signal.
Î
Do not impede the movement of the actuator stem by inserting objects into the yoke.
Î
Before unblocking the actuator stem after it has become blocked (e.g. due to seizing
up after remaining in the same position for a long time), release any stored energy
in the actuator (e.g. spring compression). See 'Relieving the spring compression in
the actuator' in the 'Removal' section.
Risk of personal injury when the actuator vents.
The actuator is operated with air. As a result, air is vented during operation.
Î
Install the control valve in such a way that vent openings are not located at eye level
and the actuator does not vent at eye level in the work position
1)
.
Î
Use suitable silencers and vent plugs.
Î
Wear eye and hearing protection when working near the actuator.
Risk of personal injury due to the preloaded spring.
Actuators with preloaded spring are under tension.
Î
Only open the actuator housing to safely relieve the energy of the spring compres-
sion following the instructions in this document. See 'Relieving the spring compres-
sion in the actuator' in the 'Removal' section.
1)
If not described otherwise in the valve documentation, the work position for the control valve is the
front view looking onto the operating controls (including valve accessories).
