Safety Considerations - TLV SS3 Series Einbau- Und Betriebsanleitung

1. Safety Considerations

• Read this section carefully before use and be sure to follow the instructions.
• Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
• The precautions listed in this manual are designed to ensure safety and prevent equipment
damage and personal injury. For situations that may occur as a result of erroneous handling,
three different types of cautionary items are used to indicate the degree of urgency and the
scale of potential damage and danger: DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION.
• The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety; be sure to observe
all of them, as they relate to installation, use, maintenance, and repair. Furthermore, TLV
accepts no responsibility for any accidents or damage occurring as a result of failure to
observe these precautions.
DANGER
Indicates an urgent situation
which poses a threat of
death or serious injury.
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
Indicates that there is a
potential threat of death
or serious injury.
NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to
increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury
or damage to property and equipment.
Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the
recommended operating pressure, temperature and other
specification ranges. Improper use may result in such hazards as
damage to the product or malfunctions, which may lead to serious
accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this product to below
the conditions quoted.
DO NOT use this product in excess of the maximum operating
pressure differential. Such use could make discharge impossible.
Do not subject this product to condensate loads that exceed its
discharge capacity. Failure to observe this precaution may lead to
condensate accumulation upstream of the trap, resulting in reduced
equipment performance or damage to the equipment.
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact
with product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury
from the discharge of fluids.
When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal
pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the
product has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing
the product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of
fluids, causing burns, other injuries or damage.
Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing
the product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in damage to the product
or burns or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.
Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes to the
product. Overtightening may cause breakage leading to fluid discharge,
which may cause burns or other injury.
Use only under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur. Freezing
may damage the product, leading to fluid discharge, which may cause
burns or other injury.
Use under conditions in which no water hammer will occur. The
impact of water hammer may damage the product, leading to fluid
discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.
