Safety instructions and measures 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. Furthermore, the operator must ensure that operating personnel or third persons are not ex- posed to any danger.
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. Impermissible pressure or improper opening can lead to valve components bursting. Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for valve and plant. Î...
Page 9
Î Wear eye protection when working in close proximity to the control valve. 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. Î Before starting any work on the actuator, relieve the compression from the preload- ed springs (see associated actuator documentation).
Safety instructions and measures WARNING Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the valve. While working on the valve, residual process medium can escape and, depending on its properties, may lead to personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns. Î...

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 surface.
