2 Safety Unsafe practices and other important information are emphasised in this manual. Warnings are emphasised by means of special signs. 2.2 Warning signs General warning Caustic agents Danger of injury: (an extra yellow label marked on the actuator from June 2016) Do NOT NOT attempt to cut the actuator open due to spring under load.
NOT allowed NOT to To prevent shock in the actuator and to prevent exceeding 10 bar/145 PSI product pressure, Alfa Laval recommends NOT exceed 3 bar/43.5 PSI support air on the spring side in all the Unique SSV actuators. If support air is connected always use the 3 bar/43.5 PSI air relief fittings = 9611995903.
