properly maintained, and limit their use to their intended purpose.
Follow proper local, state, and federal regulations for proper installation and operational requirements.
Always use caution and common sense when working with any chemical. Read the product label and Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) carefully and follow the instructions exactly.

occur. Ensure the area around this equipment is kept clear to prevent damage from occurring.
High pressures! This equipment may contain fl uids at very high pressures. Prior to installing, removing or maintaining this
equipment, ensure that the equipment is isolated from all connecting piping, the equipment is depressurized, the contents
have been drained, and the equipment is cool.

Equipment rated TX. Equipment maximum surface temperature depends
on operating conditions. Ensure maximum surface temperature shall stay
below ignition temperature of dust or gas atmosphere where it is installed
based on process conditions. Failure to comply could result in an explosion,
causing serious injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment.
If the sampler is mounted directly to a non-electrically conductive surface,
sampler shall be bonded to a grounding electrode. Failure to comply
could result in sparking, which could lead to an explosion, causing harm to
personnel and equipment.
If the sample container is removed from the sampler, do not insert any
body part or other item into the sample discharge port. Crushing will
