The SVi1000 cover must be in place and secured using all four
screws during operation.
Mount the SVi1000 with the conduit connection down in order to
facilitate drainage of condensate from the conduit.
If the valve is located in a hazardous area, ensure the area has been certified
as safe or that all electrical power to the area has been disconnected before
removing any covers or disconnecting any leads.
Shut off air supply to the actuator and to any valve mounted equipment.
Ensure the valve is isolated from the process by either shutting off the
process or using bypass valves for isolation. Tag shutoff or bypass valves to
guard against a turn-on while work is in progress.
Bleed air from actuator and check that valve is in its unenergized position.
