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
