Operating instructions for SAMBO Bevel
WARNING: Potential HIGH-PRESSURE vessel — be aware of high-pressure hazards associ-
ated with the attached valve or other actuated device when installing or performing mainte-
nance on the gearbox. Do not remove the gearbox mounting bolts from the valve or actuated
device unless the valve or device stem is secured or there is no pressure in the line.
CAUTION:
For maintenance and/or disassembly of the gearbox while installed on the valve, ensure
that the gearbox is not under thrust or torque load. If the valve must be left in service, the valve stem
must be locked in such a way as to prevent any movement of the valve stem.
WARNING: Do not manually operate the gearbox with devices other than the installed hand-
wheel. Using force beyond the ratings of the gearbox and/or using additive force devices
such as cheater bars, wheel wrenches, pipe wrenches, or other devices on the gearbox hand-
wheel may cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the gearbox and valve.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed any design limitations or make modifications to this equipment without
first consulting SAMBO.
CAUTION:
Use of this product must be suspended any time it fails to operate properly.
CAUTION:
Damage to protective coatings should be correctly rectified and may invalidate war-
ranty.
CAUTION:
If a motor actuator is driving the gearbox, do not operate the valve under motor operation
without first checking and setting the limit switch and checking for correct motor rotation.
WARNING: Do not use replacement parts that are not genuine SAMBO parts, as serious
personal injury and/or damage to the gearbox and valve may result.
