Hazards resulting from the special working conditions at the installation site of the regulator must be identified in a risk assessment and prevented through the corresponding safety in- structions drawn up by the operator. We also recommend checking the hazards posed by the process medium being used (e.g. u GESTIS (CLP) hazardous substances database). Î Observe safety measures for handling the device as well as fire prevention and explosion protection measures. Safety features The Type 42-36 Regulator does not have any special safety features. When relieved of pressure, the regulator is opened by the force of the set point springs. EB 3015 EN...

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. Regulators and pipelines are pressure equipment. Impermissible pressure or improper opening can lead to regulator components bursting. Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for regulator and plant. Î...

Î Wear protective clothing and safety gloves. Damage to health relating to the REACH regulation. If a SAMSON device contains a substance which is listed as being a substance of very high concern on the candidate list of the REACH regulation, this circumstance is indi- cated on the SAMSON delivery note.
The lubricants to be used depend on the regulator material. Unsuitable lubricants may corrode and damage the surface. Î Only use lubricants approved by SAMSON. When in doubt, consult SAMSON. Risk of leakage and regulator damage due to excessively high or low tightening torques.
