PRESSURIZED FLUID HAZARD
When opening the bleeder valve (10B) or venting the Top (14) thru the bleeder valve (10B),
direct the released pressurized fluid and/or gas to safe area away from any individual in
accordance with local environment regulations.
The bleeder valve (10B) releases pressurized fluid that may cause contamination and/or
accumulation of volatile gas mixtures. The bleeder valve should remain closed after orifice plate
insertion in order to prevent toxic gas from being emitted into the atmosphere. Failure to do so
may cause serious injury or death.
The pressure contained in the Top (14) must be lowered to ambient pressure in order to begin
any Orifice Plate (13) procedures. When lowering the pressure in the Top (14) the operator must
direct fluid or gas escaping from the Body (4) to a safe area away from the operator and in
accordance with local environmental regulations.
