EB 8048-2/-3 EN 9Safety instructions and measuresWARNING!Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold components and pipelines.Depending on the process medium, valve components, and pipelines may get very hotor cold and cause burn injuries.Î Allow components and pipelines to cool down or heat up.Î Wear protective clothing and safety gloves.1.3 Notes on possible property damageNOTICE!Risk of contamination of the process medium through the use of unsuitable lubricantand/or contaminated tools and components.Î Keep the valve and the tools used free from solvents and grease.Î Make sure that only suitable lubricants are used.Risk of valve damage due to contamination (e.g. solid particles) in the pipeline.The plant operator is responsible for cleaning the pipelines in the plant.Î Flush the pipelines before start-up.Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for valve and plant.Risk of valve damage due to unsuitable medium properties.The valve is designed for a process medium with defined properties.Î Only use the process medium specified for sizing the valve.Risk of leakage and valve damage due to excessively high or low tightening torques.Observe the specified torques on tightening control valve components. Excessively tight-ened torques lead to parts wearing out quicker. Parts that are too loose may cause leak-age.Î Observe the specified tightening torques (u AB 0100).Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable tools.Certain tools are required to work on the valve.Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON (u AB 0100).
