Caution Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to observe these precautions may result in damage to the product and burns or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids. Caution Use only under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur.
Checking the Piping Caution Use only under conditions in which no water hammer will occur. The impact of water hammer may damage the product, leading to fluid discharge, which may cause burns or other injury. Check to make sure that the pipes to be connected to the product have been installed properly.
Operation Principles of air and condensate discharge: At start-up, open the bypass valve to remove any initial condensate or air at 100°C or less. (This step must be performed in order to ensure smooth start-up.) Air binding occurs when the inflow of steam is accompanied by the inflow of air during normal operation.
Specifications Caution Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

Periodically (at least biannually) the operation should also be checked by using diagnostic equipment, such as a stethoscope, thermometer, TLV Pocket TrapMan or TLV TrapMan. A complete disassembly and inspection should be performed at least once every 3 years.
Disassembly/Reassembly Warning NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment. Caution Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg (44 lb) or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if the object should fall.
