LVE OPERA
TION
V
alves equipped with electric motor actua-
tors have special tags attached, which indi- cate the correct torque switch setting for the valve. Exceeding these torque switch settings can cause damage to the valve. Never use an electric motor actuator to backseat a valve. This can result in damage to the valve stem and bonnet backseat.

LVE MAINTENANCE
When replacing the bonnet gaskets, follow the torque requirements on page 9 closely
.
Failure to torque the gasket properly will result in gasket failure. When replacing the valve stem packing, never machine the packing chamber oversize. This will result in blowout of the packing.
