Safety instructions and measures Responsibilities of operating personnel Operating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as well as the referenced documents and observe the specified hazard statements, warnings and caution notes. Furthermore, the operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.
Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of bursting in pressure equipment. Valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to valve components bursting. Î Before starting any work on the valve, depressurize all plant sections concerned as well as the valve.
Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable tools. Certain tools are required to work on the valve. Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON (u AB 0100). Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants. The lubricants to be used depend on the valve material. Unsuitable lubricants may cor- rode and damage the valve surface.
Markings on the device NOTICE Risk of contamination of the process medium through the use of unsuitable lubricant and/or contaminated tools and components. Î Keep the valve and the tools used free from solvents and grease. Î Make sure that only suitable lubricants are used (u AB 0100). 2 Markings on the device 2.1 Valve labeling 1…5...
