operators must ensure that the regulators are only used in operating conditions that meet the
specifications used for sizing the devices at the ordering stage. In case operators intend to
use the regulators in applications or conditions other than those specified, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
