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
