to medium, pressure, temperature). For this reason
they should not be used in other applications without
first contacting the manufacturer.

NOTE: i ndicates and provides additional technical
information, which may not be very obvious even to
qualified personnel. Compliance with other, not par-
ticularly emphasised notes, with regard to transport,
assembly, operation and maintenance and with re-
gard to technical documentation (e.g. in the operating
instruction, product documentation or on the product
itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults, which in
themselves might directly or indirectly cause severe
personal injury or property damage.
1.3 Protective clothing
Kämmer products are often used in problematic ap-
plications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dang-erous,
toxic or corrosive mediums). In particular valves with
bellows seals point to such applications. When per-
forming service, inspection or repair operations al-
ways ensure, that the valve and actuator are depres-
surised and that the valve has been cleaned and is free
from harmful substances. In such cases pay particu-
lar attention to personal protection (protective cloth-
ing, gloves, glasses etc.).
1.4 Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of
their training, experience and instruction and their
knowledge of relevant standards, specifications, acci-
dent prevention regulations and operating condi-
tions, have been authorised by those responsible for
the safety of the plant to perform the necessary work
and who can recognise and avoid possible dangers.
1.5 Installation
DANGER: Before installation check the order-no, se-
rial-no. and/or the tag-no. to ensure that the valve/
actuator is correct for the intended application.
Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot or
cold services.
Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the
valve is not fitted under tension.
