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.

(see associated actuator documentation). When the valve is combined with a SAMSON Type 3271 or Type 3277 Pneumatic Actuator, the valve moves to a certain fail- safe position (see the 'Design and principle of operation' section) upon supply air or control signal failure.

Start-up and shutdown procedures fall within the scope of the operator's duties and, as such, are not part of these mounting and operating instructions. SAMSON is unable to make any statements about these procedures since the operative details (e.g. differential pressures and temperatures) vary in each individual case and are only known to the operator.

Risk of injury due to incorrect handling of oxygen or cryogenic gases in applica- tions. The Type 3248 Valve is frequently used for oxygen service or applications with cryo- genic gases. Oxygen is a hazardous substance, which reacts quickly, leading to com- bustion and explosions.
Safety instructions and measures 1.2 Notes on possible personal injury WARNING Risk of burn injuries due to cold components and pipelines. Depending on the process medium, valve components and pipelines may get extremely cold and cause cryogenic burns. Î Allow components and pipelines to reach ambient temperature. Î...

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.
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 surfaces.
Safety instructions and measures 1.4 Warnings on the device Warning Meaning of the warning Location on the device Warning against moving parts There is a risk of injury to hands or fingers through the stroking movement of the actuator and plug stem if they are inserted into the yoke while the air supply is con- nected to the actuator.
