Precautions for Maintenance
WARNING
If fluid leakage from the valve is found, stay away from the valve until safety can be confirmed.
Depending on the properties of the fluid, a serious accident or injury may result.
CAUTION
Check the gland daily, and tighten the packing if leakage is found.
Check valve operation daily, including a visual check for hunting.
During valve operation, look and listen for unusual noise or vibration.
Handling Precautions
•
Avoid installing the valve where it will be subject to vibration or other external forces
that may affect its performance.
• A packing (gasket) is attached to the cap of auxiliary equipment such as positioners. Do
not lose it during wiring work.
• Take care not to lose screws for the cap of auxiliary equipment such as positioners.
• Make sure that the seal of cable glands and electrical conduits is sufficient to prevent the
entry of moisture.
•
Dispose of old parts that were replaced during valve disassembly or maintenance as
industrial waste. If they are burned or discarded carelessly, environmental pollution will
result.
• When assembling the valve, check that the packing (gaskets) are in place and tighten the
screws evenly.
