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 the actuator. Actuators are pressurized. Improper opening can lead to actuator components burst- ing. Î Before starting any work on the actuator, depressurize all plant sections affected and the actuator.

Safety instructions and measures WARNING Risk of personal injury when the actuator vents. The actuator is operated with air. As a result, air is vented during operation. Î Install the control valve in such a way that vent holes are not located at eye level and the actuator does not vent at eye level in the work position Î...
Risk of actuator damage due to the use of unsuitable tools. Certain tools are required to work on the actuator. Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON (u AB 0100). Risk of actuator damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants. The lubricants to be used depend on the actuator material. Unsuitable lubricants may corrode and damage the surface.
