Safety Considerations 

  Read this section carefully before use and be sure to follow the instructions. 

  Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and 

valve opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance 
personnel. 

  The precautions listed in this manual are designed to ensure safety and 

prevent equipment damage and personal injury. For situations that may occur 
as a result of erroneous handling, three different types of cautionary items are 
used to indicate the degree of urgency and the scale of potential damage and 
danger: DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION. 

  The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety: be 

sure to observe all of them as they relate to installation, use, maintenance and 
repair. Furthermore, TLV accepts no responsibility for any accidents or 
damage occurring as a result of failure to observe these precautions.

CAUTION 

 

Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the 
recommended operating pressure, temperature and other 
specification ranges. 

Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product 
or malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations 
may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

 

 

Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct 
contact with product outlets. 

Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from the 
discharge of fluids. 

 

When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the 
internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface 
of the product has cooled to room temperature

Disassembling or removing the product when it is hot or under 
pressure may lead to discharge of fluids, causing burns, other 
injuries or damage.
