Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or 

malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations 

may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

 

CAUTION

 

 

DO NOT use this product in excess  of  the maxim um operating pressure 

differential; such use could make discharge impossible (blocked).

 

CAUTION

 

 

Use only under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur. Freezing 

may damage the product, leading to fluid discharge, which may cause
