❑
Electrical systems have the potential to cause sparks during service or
repair. Eliminate explosive or hazardous environments during installation.
❑
Any valve operated by an electric motor causes the associated “Manual
Override” hand wheel or linkage to move/rotate (if purchased). Be extremely
careful that NO part of your body (head, feet, arms, legs, finger, hair, etc.) is
in an area of rotating/moving parts where you could be subject to injury.
❑
Electric motors and wiring are protected by a circuit breaker. DO NOT
remove or bypass the circuit breaker as severe damage to the electric motor
or apparatus wiring could result.
❑
Fasteners used for the assembly of the Torrent SVS Series Valves are Grade
5, or stainless steel.
NEVER substitute a fastener with material specifications below Grade 5.
DO NOT substitute carbon steel fasteners for stainless steel. Failure to do
so may cause equipment malfunction or damage, and/or personal injury.
❑
Used only approved lubricants on the SVS valve system. Also see Section
4.3 “Lubricants,” on page 20 for addittional information.
❑
Certain internal parts of the SVS valve assembly are under tension, e.g.,
locking cam spring, snap ring, etc. When servicing the valve wear eye pro-
tection and exercise care when removing these parts.
WARNING !
IF YOUR SVS VALVE INCLUDES THE “SLOW-CLOSE” OPTION, DO NOT TAMPER
