Î Observe safety measures for handling the device as well as fire prevention and explosion protection measures. Safety features The Type 45-9 Regulator does not have any special safety features. When relieved of pres- sure, the regulator is opened by the force of the set point springs. Responsibilities of the operator The operator is responsible for proper operation and compliance with the safety regulations. Operators are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the referenced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation.
