2.2 User safety instructions The operator of the valve must ensure that the valve is only used in accordance with the intended use. This is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The valve may only be operated by properly qualified and trained staff.
3. Transport and storage All valves must be carefully transported and stored. The valves are fully enamelled or powder-coated. The coatings are shock-sensitive and must be protected against impact stress. The gaskets are sensitive to light: Unpackaged valves may only be exposed to bright daylight or ultraviolet light for a very short time.
