In case operators intend to use the control valve in other applications or conditions than 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.

− Upon supply air or control signal failure, the valve moves to a certain fail‑safe position (see 'Design and principle of operation' section). The fail‑safe action of the actuator is the same as its direction of action and is specified on the nameplate of SAMSON actuators (see associated actuator documentation).

Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs. Valves in combination with pneumatic actuators with preloaded springs are under ten‑ sion. These control valves with SAMSON pneumatic actuators can be identified by the long bolts protruding from the bottom of the actuator.
Parts that are too loose may cause leakage. Î Observe the specified tightening torques (u AB 0100). 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). EB 8020 EN...
The lubricants to be used depend on the valve material. Unsuitable lubricants may cor‑ rode and damage the surface. Î Only use lubricants approved by SAMSON (u AB 0100). Risk of contamination of the process medium through the use of unsuitable lubricants and/or contaminated tools and components.
