11 Removal
The work described in this chapter is to be
performed only by personnel appropriately
qualied to carry out such tasks.
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold
components and pipeline.
Valve components and the pipeline may be-
come very hot or cold. Risk of burn injuries.
Î Allow components and pipelines to cool
down or warm up to the ambient tem-
perature.
Î Wear protective clothing and safety
gloves.
Crush hazard arising from actuator and
plug stem moving.
Î Do not insert hands or nger into the
yoke while the air supply is connected to
the actuator.
Î Before working on the control valve,
disconnect and lock the pneumatic air
supply as well as the control signal.
Î Do not impede the movement of the
actuator and plug stem by inserting
objects into the yoke.
Î Before unblocking the actuator and plug
stem after they have become blocked
(e.g. due to seizing up after remaining in
the same position for a long time), re-
lease any stored energy in the actuator
(e.g. spring compression). See associat-
ed actuator documentation.
Risk of personal injury due to residual
process medium in the valve.
While working on the valve, residual me-
dium can ow out of the valve and, depend-
ing on its properties, cause personal injury,
e.g. (chemical) burns.
Î Wear protective clothing, safety gloves,
respiratory protection and eye protec-
tion.
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded
springs.
Actuators with preloaded springs are under
tension. They can be identied by the long
bolts protruding from the bottom of the actu-
ator.
Î Before starting any work on the actuator,
relieve the compression from the pre-
loaded springs.
Risk of personal injury due to incorrect
removal of the anti-rotation xture under
tension.
Once the actuator has been mounted on the
valve and the assembly is ready for use, the
clamps (301) of the anti-rotation xture on
the plug stem are under tension.
Î Follow the instructions in this document
during mounting or removal.
Î Do not loosen the screws (303) of the
anti-rotation xture while the force
generated by the supply air and/or the
