The technical data and performance may be modified
without prior notice depending on the technical advances.
FOLLOW OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING
It is strictly forbidden to modify,
remove, by-pass or override the safety
installations.
In the absence of prior written approval by the manufacturer,
do not carry out any modifications to the accessories and
equipment surrounding the valve which may jeopardise safety!
Changes at the valve carried out on one’s own authority void the
manufacturer’s liability for any damage resulting therefrom.
This applies also to installation and setting of safety devices and
valves, as well as welding at supporting parts.
1.2.4 Dangers when handling the valve
Our valves are designed to the state of the art and according to
the approved safety rules. However, these valves can constitute
a danger for persons and property especially when handled by
untrained staff in an unskilled manner or when they are not used
in accordance with their proper purpose. This may cause danger
to life and limb of the user or third parties or damage to the
valves and other property.
Access to the danger zone shall only be possible when the valve
is out of operation and when it is ensured that the conveying units
and the following units are shut down, in order to avoid danger to
the operating and maintenance staff.
Whoever, in the user’s facilities, is engaged in mounting,
dismantling or remounting, operation and service (inspection,
maintenance, repair) of the valves, must familiarise themselves
with the applicable regulations in force locally.
Work at the valve site (as e.g. control, maintenance and repair
work) shall only be carried out when the plant has been secured
and shut down and when power to the valve/plant has been
switched off.
Before removing safety devices and/or carrying out work on the
valves, the pipe section must be made pressureless to avoid risk.
Unauthorized, erroneous or unexpected operation, as well as
dangerous movements caused by stored energy (compressed
air, pressurized water, hydraulic system), must be avoided.
A copy of the operating and maintenance instructions must
always be available on site and must be protected against oil and
grease.
If necessary, or as specified by the rules, use suitable personal
protective equipment!
Any instructions concerning safety and dangers at the plant must
be observed and a written copy must be maintained in legible
condition and periodically renewed or replaced, if necessary.
During operation, the gearbox and/or actuator is heated under
constant regulating service. This may lead to temperatures
>60°C. For protection against possible burns, the surface
temperature must be checked before touching the surface and
in all cases, protective gloves must be worn.
In the event of changes to the valve or its operating performance
which might affect safety aspects, plant operation must be
stopped immediately and the problem reported to the relevant
department/person!
Before any maintenance operation on the valve, the network
section where the valve is installed must be isolated upstream
and downstream, and depressurized in order to relieve the valve
free from pressure. Failure to comply with this recommendation
will lead to a situation of danger to persons and property.
When maintenance and repair work at the valve has been
finished prior to commissioning of the valve, check whether all
safety devices and equipment have been remounted and make
sure that they are operative.
If PLC (programmable logic control) software is included in the
scope of supply, no changes must be carried out.
If work is carried out in the vicinity of the valve that may lead to
soiling (e.g. concrete work, masonry, painting, sandblasting) the
valve must be covered effectively.
1.2.5 Working conditions for operators (except
for valves for buried service)
Take care that there is sufficient space available for operation,
mounting and maintenance work. Access to this valve must be
provided in such a way that this work can be carried out by using the
appropriate technical means (tools, measuring instruments, etc.)
The operator should not work directly above the valve to prevent
personal injury.
The user must provide adequate instructions in order to ensure
that the working area is clean and suitably arranged.
WARNING
Observe the applicable rules concerning
safety, and wear the necessary personal
protective equipment. Risk of injury!
1.2.6 Safety and protective equipment (graphics)
Use ear muffs and helmet
Use eye protection Use protective gloves
Wear safety boots
