from the power supply, and that the
valve and its pipework are pressure-
free. Observe and follow all hazard
notes in the operating instructions
for the valve. If you have any queries,
please contact the valve manufac-
turer.
There is a danger of severe or lethal
crushing by moving parts of the unit.
