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.

Furthermore, operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them. Safety features The Type 44-2 Regulator does not have any special safety features. The Type 44-3 and Type 44-9 Regulators are safety shut-off valves (SSV) with integrated pressure reducing valve.
Î Before starting any work on the springs, relieve the compression from the preloaded springs. Î Only use the SAMSON disassembly tool (1280-4052). 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.
Damage to health relating to the REACH regulation. If a SAMSON device contains a substance listed as a substance of very high concern on the candidate list of the REACH regulation, this is indicated on the SAMSON delivery note.
