Safety instructions and measures
WARNING !
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs.
Valves in combination with pneumatic actuators with preloaded springs are under ten -
sion.
Î
Before starting any work on the actuator, relieve the compression from the preload-
ed springs (see associated actuator documentation).
Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the valve.
While working on the valve, residual medium can flow out of the valve and, depending
on its properties, cause personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns.
Î
If possible, drain the process medium from all the plant sections affected and the
valve.
Î
Wear protective clothing, safety gloves, respiratory protection and eye protection.
Exposure to hazardous substances poses a serious risk to health.
Certain lubricants and cleaning agents are classified as hazardous substances. These
substances have a special label and a material safety data sheet (MSDS) issued by the
manufacturer.
Î
Make sure that an MSDS is available for any hazardous substance used. If neces-
sary, contact the manufacturer to obtain an MSDS.
Î
Inform yourself about the hazardous substances and their correct handling.
Risk of personal injury through incorrect operation, use or installation as a result of
information on the valve being illegible.
Over time, markings, labels and nameplates on the valve may become covered with dirt
or become illegible in some other way. As a result, hazards may go unnoticed and the
necessary instructions not followed. There is a risk of personal injury.
Î
Keep all relevant markings and inscriptions on the device in a constantly legible
state.
Î
Immediately renew damaged, missing or incorrect nameplates or labels.
