-
If malfunction of any other equipment or system operation failure may result in a dangerous overpressure, over
temperature or even vacuum condition, a safety device must be included in the system to prevent such
situations.
-
At start up, the presence of small particles in the fluid (dirt, scale, weld splatters, etc) may cause an imperfect
closure of the seat. If this occurs, proceed to an accurate cleaning.
-
Do not touch the equipment without appropriate protection during working operation because it may conduct
heat if the used fluid is at high temperature.
-
Before starting maintenance be sure that the equipment is not pressurized or hot.
