Î Check with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment. Revisions and other modifications Revisions, conversions or other modifications of the product are not authorized by SAMSON. They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur- thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.

Start-up and shutdown procedures fall within the scope of the operator's duties and, as such, are not part of these mounting and operating instructions. SAMSON is unable to make any statements about these procedures since the operative details (e.g. differential pressures and temperatures) vary in each individual case and are only known to the operator.
REACH regulation: Information on safe use of the part affected u www.samsongroup.com > About SAMSON > Material Compliance > REACH If a 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 indicated on the SAMSON delivery note.

Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs. Valves in combination with pneumatic actuators with preloaded springs are under ten- sion. These control valves with SAMSON pneumatic actuators can be identified by the long bolts protruding from the bottom of the actuator.
Parts that are too loose may cause leakage. Î Observe the specified tightening torques. Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable tools. Certain tools are required to work on the valve. Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON. EB 8075 EN...
The lubricants to be used depend on the valve material. Unsuitable lubricants may cor- rode and damage surfaces. Î Only use lubricants approved by SAMSON. Risk of the process medium being contaminated through the use of unsuitable lubri- cants and/or contaminated tools and components.
