4.1 Marking of safety instructions in the operating manual
The safety instructions are intended to protect the user from dangerous situations and/or material damage. In the
operating instructions the seriousness of the potential risk is designated by the following signal words:
Warning : Safety Instructions whose non-observance may be hazardous to persons, and/or cause damage to
property.
Caution: Safety Instructions whose non-observance may lead to product damage, or loss of function.
Product Marking: Nameplate and label marking on the equipment itself contains the primary functional limits
information. This information must be absolutely followed and kept in legible condition.
4.2 Qualifications and training of personnel
Operating, maintenance, inspection and installation personnel must be qualified to carry out their respective
duties. Areas of responsibility, competence, and proper levels of supervision should be clearly defined by the
user. If personnel are not sufficiently qualified, additional training and instruction should be carried out, to ensure
that operating instructions are fully understood by the responsible personnel.
4.3 Non-compliance with safety instructions
Non-compliance with these safety instructions can jeopardize the safety of personnel, the environment, the
regulator and/or the system. Non-compliance with these safety instructions will lead to forfeiture of any rights to
claims for damages.
4.4 Safety Awareness
It is essential to comply with the safety instructions contained in this manual, along with the relevant national,
state and local health and safety regulations, and the operator’s own internal operating and safety instructions.
4.5 Safety instructions for the operator/user
Isolate the regulator from all system pressure before performing any service procedures. Leakage of any
dangerous liquids (toxic or hot) at any exterior mechanical joint seal must be drained off without any danger to
persons or the environment. All Federal, State and Local Rules regarding chemical disposal and handling must
be followed.
4.6 Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and installation work
The user must ensure that all maintenance, inspection and installation work is carried out by authorized
personnel, who are familiar with the manual. As a rule all work on the unit should only be carried out after the
regulator has cooled down and pressure has been released. Proper tag out or lockout is strongly recommended.
Immediately after completion of work, all safety and protective devices in system should be refitted and fully
functional. Please observe all relevant system start-up safety rules.
4.7 Unapproved modifications and use of non-genuine spare parts
Modifications or changes to the unit are only permitted upon approval of Barksdale. Only genuine spare parts
and original accessories will ensure the safety of the unit. The use of other than original parts voids the warranty
and will lead to forfeiture of the declaration of conformity and will invalidate any liability for damages caused
thereby.
4.8 Unapproved usage
The operating reliability and safety of the regulator is only valid if used in accordance with its specified technical
limits as described in the Installation and operating instructions. Any other use is not in conformity with the
regulations, and Barksdale will not be liable for any resulting damages.
The installation and operating manual does not invalidate general regulations and standards not referred to
general technical rules should be observed.
