Mounting 5.4.2. Blow-off pipe Suitable protective measures should be taken at the installation point in the case of any safety valves posing a direct or indirect risk to persons or the environment as a result of discharge of the operating medium. Precautions must also be taken against fumes escaping through the relief vents in the spring cap.
Mounting 5.4.3. Open discharge Safety Valves The spring bonnet of the open discharge safety Valve has to be protected against pollution. In case of blowing-off by a open discharge safety valve the operating medium will flow off through the spring bonnet. Therefore open discharge safety will only be used for non-toxic and non-flamable media.
Disassembly 5.4.7 Disassembly Before you disassemble the safety valve you have to read the Safety advice If you have not read the safety advices until now, read this important advices now and turn back to this point.

This locking device of the lifting lever is to be removed only after the installation has been completed. Increase the pressure in the pipes to 85% of the set pressure. Carry out the lifting either by means of a knurled nut above the spring bonnet or by actuating the lifting lever on the upper part of the safety valve.
Leaks 5.6.2 Regular releasing of the safety valve It is recommended to make the safety valve blow off from time to time through lifting, in depend- ence for the respective system, in order to check the correct operation of the safety valve. The lifting device is not to be operated when in a pressure-free state.
