1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury

DANGER
!
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
Regulators and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to regu-
lator components bursting.
Î If necessary, a suitable overpressure protection must be installed on site in the plant
section.
Î Before starting any work on the regulator, depressurize all plant sections affected.
Î Drain the process medium from the plant sections affected as well as from the regu-
lator.
Î Wear personal protective equipment.

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).
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 the plant sections affected and from the
regulator.
Î Wear protective clothing, safety gloves and eye protection.
