1.2 Notes on possible personal injury

WARNING
!
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 warning label on the actuator's set point springs.
Î Before starting any work on the springs, relieve the compression from the preloaded
springs.
Î Only use the SAMSON disassembly tool (1280-4052).
Crush hazard arising from moving parts.
The regulator contains moving parts (actuator and plug stems), which can injure hands
or fingers if inserted into the valve.
Î Do not insert hands or fingers between the set point springs while the regulator is in
operation.
Î Before performing any work on the regulator, depressurize the plant. Disconnect or
shut off the external control line.
Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the regulator.
While working on the regulator, residual process medium can escape and, depending
on its properties, may lead to personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns.
Î If possible, drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned and the
regulator.
Î Wear protective clothing, safety gloves and eyewear.
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold components and pipelines.
Depending on the process medium, regulator components and pipelines may get very
hot or cold and cause burn injuries.
Î Allow components and pipelines to cool down or heat up.
Î Wear protective clothing and safety gloves.
Damage to health relating to the REACH regulation.
If a SAMSON device contains a substance which is listed as being a substance of very
high concern on the candidate list of the REACH regulation, this circumstance is indicat-
ed on the SAMSON delivery note.
Î Information on safe use of the part affected, see u www.samson.de/reach-en.html.
