On commissioning or operation of the way valve, spraying hydraulic oil may get into the
eyes causing blindness. Wear protective glasses for all works performed on the way
valve.
The way valve module is a hydraulic unit. In case of non-observance, operating
medium being under pressure may leak out. Any improper use may lead to the leakage
of operating medium under pressure, posing a risk to the health and life of the
operating staff. Prior to performing any work on the way valve, switch off the hydraulic
supply system.
During operation, the outer surfaces of the way valve and the hydraulic connecting
lines may become hot due to the operating medium. Any contact may cause injuries
by burning. Prior to performing any work on the way valve, let the way valve cool down.
On commissioning or operation of the way valve, the end of the piston rod directly or
indirectly driven by the way valve may move uncontrolled in case of a failure of the
hydraulic or electric energy, due to malfunctions in the master control or on the way
valve. The movement of the piston rod may pose a risk to individuals and property.
Prior to performing any work on the way valve, switch off the hydraulic and electric
auxiliary energy.
Electric components are integrated in the way valve which may be destroyed, e.g.
during electric welding near the way valve. Prior to performing electric welding near the
way valve, remove all electric connecting lines.
Environmental protection
On assembly, disassembly or improper use of the way valve, operating medium may
leak out. Operating oil getting into the sewage system or open soil causes severe
environmental damages. Collect leaking operating medium and dispose of it in
accordance with the national statutory provisions.
Instruction Manual
The instruction manual contains important information regarding proper handling of the
way valve. Prior to installation and commissioning of the way valve, carefully read the
entire instruction manual and make sure you fully understood its content.
Keep the instruction manual in a place constantly accessible to the operating staff.
In addition to this instruction manual, have the rules governing accident prevention
and environmental protection available and observe the same.
Staff qualification
Only trained and instructed personnel are allowed to work on the way valve. These
personnel must be sufficiently trained, instructed and authorized to properly mount,
operate and maintain the way valve in accordance with the safety standards.
Installation, commissioning and operation have to be performed by a certified
electrician with experience and knowledge in the field of explosion protection.
