Replacing The Set Point Springs - Samson 44-2 Mounting And Operating Instructions

Servicing
7.3 Replacing the set point
springs
DANGER
!
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded
springs.
Regulators in combination with preloaded
set point springs are under tension. These
regulators can be identified by the red warn-
ing label on the actuator's set point springs.
− Before starting any work on the springs,
relieve the compression from the preloaded
springs.
− Only use the SAMSON disassembly tool
(1280-4052).
NOTICE
!
Risk of regulator damage due to excessively
high or low tightening torques.
Observe the specified torques on tightening
regulator components. Excessively tightened
torques lead to parts wearing out quicker.
Parts that are too loose may cause leakage.
Observe the specified tightening torques.
NOTICE
!
Risk of TÜV approval (based on AGFW
worksheet FW 504) for Types 44-3 and
44-9 becoming void.
Consult SAMSON's After-sales Service be-
fore you change parts or perform service or
repair work on TÜV-tested Type 44-3 and
Type 44-9 Regulators.
