WARNING
Always wear protective gloves,
clothing and eyewear when performing
any installation operations to avoid
personal injury.
Personal injury or property damage
caused by sudden release of pressure
or bursting of pressure retaining parts
may result if service conditions exceed
those for which the product was
intended. To avoid injury or damage,
provide a relief valve for over pressure
protection as required by government
or accepted industry codes and good
engineering practices.
Check with your process or safety
engineer for any additional measures
that must be taken to protect against
process media.
If installing into an existing
application, also refer to the WARNING
at the beginning of the Maintenance
section in this instruction manual.
CAUTION
This valve is intended for a specific
range of pressures, temperatures and
other application specifications.
Applying different pressures and
temperatures to the valve could result
in parts damage, malfunction of the
control valve or loss of control of the
process. Do not expose this product to
service conditions or variables other
than those for which the product was
intended. If you are not sure what
these conditions are you should
contact your Emerson Process
Management sales office for more
complete specifications. Provide the
product serial numbers (shown on the
nameplate) and all other pertinent
information.
WARNING
If you move or work on an actuator
installed on a valve with loading
pressure applied, keep your hands and
tools away from the stem travel path to
avoid personal injury. Be especially
careful when removing the stem
connector to release all loading on the
actuator stem whether it be from air
pressure on the diaphragm or
compression in the actuator springs.
Likewise take similar care when
adjusting or removing any optional
travel stop. Refer to the relevant
actuator Maintenance Instructions.
If hoisting the valve, take care to
prevent people from being injured in
case the hoist or rigging slips. Be sure
to use adequate sized hoists and
chains or slings to handle the valve.
WARNING
Personal injury could result from
packing leakage. Valve packing is
tightened before shipment; however,
the packing might require some
readjustment to meet specific service
conditions.
