Safety Considerations - TLV T5N Manuel D'utilisation

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.

As glass parts will wear and deteriorate in quality, they should be
replaced annually. Be careful not to damage the glass by striking it
with objects or inflicting any other shocks. Use only under conditions
in which no water hammer will occur. Avoid rapid cooling of the glass
as from pouring water on it, etc. Be sure to observe the proper
tightening torque for the glass holder. If the glass becomes damaged,
subsequent fluid discharge could result in injury or other damage.
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.
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. Over-tightening 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.
