must be provided; no damageable plant parts or deposits of inflammable materials must be present.
The user shall be held entirely responsible for positioning of a valve other than that indications given in the
present Manual.
The valve does not require any special lighting; the installer must, however, make sure the area is uniformly
lightened, according to the indications in the relevant regulations.
It is the installer's responsibility to:
1) Check the suitability of the plant installation site.
2) Provide the necessary PPD (personal protection devices) depending on the assembly height.
3) Use lifting systems suitable for the weights, dimensions and movements to be carried out.
4) Check the tightening of the cap nut before handling the valve.
Prior to installation the valves for food applications (model GF), shall be subjected to cleaning and sanitation
by means of a woven/non-woven cloth and sanitizer spray.
