1.2 Notes on possible personal injury

WARNING
!
Risk of personal injury through incorrect operation, use or installation as a result of
information on the regulator being illegible.
Over time, markings, labels and nameplates on the regulator may become covered
with dirt or become illegible in some other way. As a result, hazards may go unno-
ticed and the necessary instructions not followed. There is a risk of personal injury.
Î Keep all relevant markings and inscriptions on the device in a constantly legible
state.
Î Immediately renew damaged, missing or incorrect nameplates or labels.
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud noise.
The noise emissions depend on the valve version, plant facilities and process medium.
Î Wear hearing protection when working near the valve. Follow the instructions giv-
en by the plant operator.
Crush hazard arising from moving parts.
The regulator contains moving parts (set point springs), which can injure hands or fin-
gers if inserted into the regulator.
Î Do not insert hands or fingers between the set point springs while the regulator is
in operation.
Î Before performing any work on the regulator, depressurize the plant. Disconnect or
shut off the control line.
Risk of personal injury due to loaded springs.
The set point springs of regulators with adjusted set point are preloaded and are under
tension.
Î Before starting any work on the springs, relieve the compression from the preload-
ed springs.
