1.3 Notes on possible property damage

NOTICE
!
Risk of regulator damage due to incorrectly attached slings.
Î Do not attach load-bearing slings to the actuator housing (see section 'Lifting the
regulator' in the 'Shipment and on-site transport' chapter).
Risk of regulator damage due to unsuitable medium properties.
The regulator is designed for a process medium with defined properties.
Î Only use the process medium specified for sizing the equipment.
Risk of regulator damage due to contamination (e.g. solid particles) in the pipeline.
The plant operator is responsible for cleaning the pipelines in the plant.
Î Flush the pipelines before start-up.
Risk of regulator damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants.
The lubricants to be used depend on the regulator material. Unsuitable lubricants may
corrode and damage surfaces.
Î Only use lubricants approved by SAMSON.
When in doubt, consult SAMSON.
Risk of leakage and regulator damage due to over- or under-torquing.
Observe the specified torques when tightening regulator components. Excessive tight-
ening torques lead to parts wearing out more quickly. Parts that are too loose may
cause leakage.
Î Observe the specified tightening torques (see section 'Tightening torques' in the
Appendix).
Risk of regulator damage due to the use of unsuitable tools.
Certain tools are required to work on the regulator.
Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON.
When in doubt, consult SAMSON.
