STANDARD CAUTIONS
PRE-INSTALLATION or SERVICE
1. Before servicing a valve or other pneumatic component,
be sure that all sources of energy are turned off, the entire
pneumatic system is shut off and exhausted, and all power
sources are locked out (ref: OSHA 1910.147, EN 1037).
2. All ROSS products, including service kits and parts, should
be installed and/or serviced only by persons having training
and experience with pneumatic equipment. Because any
installation can be tampered with or need servicing after
installation, persons responsible for the safety of others or the
care of equipment must check every installation on a regular
basis and perform all necessary maintenance.
3. All applicable instructions should be read and complied with
before using any fluid power system in order to prevent harm
to persons or equipment. In addition, overhauled or serviced
valves must be functionally tested prior to installation and use.
4. Each ROSS product should be used within its specification
limits. In addition, use only ROSS parts to repair ROSS
products. Failure to follow these directions can adversely
affect the performance of the product or result in the potential
for human injury or damage to property.
FILTRATION and LUBRICATION
5. Dirt, scale, moisture, etc. are present in virtually every air
system. Although some valves are more tolerant of these
contaminants than others, best performance will be realized
if a filter is installed to clean the air supply, thus preventing
contaminants from interfering with the proper performance of the
equipment. ROSS recommends a filter with a 5-micron rating
for normal applications.
6. All standard ROSS filters and lubricators with polycarbonate
plastic bowls are designed for compressed air applications only.
Do not fail to use the metal bowl guard, where provided, to
minimize danger from high pressure fragmentation in the event
of bowl failure.
Do not expose these products to certain fluids, such as alcohol
or liquefied petroleum gas, as they can cause bowls to rupture,
creating a combustible condition, hazardous leakage, and the
potential for human injury or damage to property. Immediately
replace a crazed, cracked, or deteriorated bowl. When bowl gets
dirty, replace it or wipe it with a clean dry cloth.
7. Only use lubricants which are compatible with materials
used in the valves and other components in the system.
Normally, compatible lubricants are petroleum based oils with
oxidation inhibitors, an aniline point between 180°F (82°C) and
220°F (104°C), and an ISO 32, or lighter, viscosity. Avoid oils
with phosphate type additives which can harm polyurethane
components, potentially leading to valve failure which risks
human injury, and/or damage to property.
AVOID INTAKE/EXHAUST RESTRICTION
8. Do not restrict the air flow in the supply line. To do so could
reduce the pressure of the supply air below the minimum
requirements for the valve and thereby cause erratic action.
9. Do not restrict a valve’s exhaust port as this can adversely
affect its operation. Exhaust silencers must be resistant to
clogging and must have flow capacities at least as great as the
exhaust capacities of the valves. Contamination of the silencer
can result in reduced flow and increased back pressure.
ROSS expressly disclaims all warranties and responsibility for
any unsatisfactory performance or injuries caused by the use
of the wrong type, wrong size, or an inadequately maintained
silencer installed with a ROSS product.
ENERGY ISOLATION/EMERGENCY STOP
11. Per specifications and regulations, ROSS L-O-X ® valves and
L-O-X ® valves with EEZ-ON ® operation are defined as energy
isolation devices, NOT AS EMERGENCY STOP DEVICES.
