Safety instructions and measures WARNING Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs. The valve is fitted with an actuator with preloaded springs that are under tension. Î Before starting any work on the control valve, relieve the compression from the pre- loaded springs. See 'Relieving the spring compression in the actuator' in the 'Re- moval' section.
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 (see the 'Tightening torques, lubricants and tools' section in the annex). Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants.
Safety instructions and measures 1.4 Warnings on the device Warning symbols Meaning of the warning Location on the device Warning to indicate that the springs in the actua- tor are preloaded. Actuators with preloaded springs are under ten- sion. Incorrect opening of the actuator can lead to personal injury due to the sudden and uncon- trolled projection of parts.
