damaged or with diminished integrity. Adjustments to pre-charge must
be done at ambient temperature only. Failure to properly size the Product
or follow these instructions may result in excessive strain on the system
and may lead to Product failure, serious or fatal personal injury, leakage,
and/or property damage.
A relief valve must be installed to prevent pressure
in excess of local code requirement or maximum
working pressure designated in the Product Manual, whichever is less.
At least once every 3 years or if discharge is present, a licensed
professional should inspect the pressure relief valve and replace if
corrosion is evident or the valve does not function. FAILURE TO
INSPECT THIS VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE
PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE,
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR SEVERE PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
