Operating and installation instructions ASTRA®Plus 6.0 Putting the valve into operation ATTENTION ! - Before putting the valve into operation, check material, pressure, temperature and direction of flow. - Regional safety instructions must be adhered to. - Residues in piping and valves (dirt, weld beads, etc.) inevitably lead to leakage. - Touching the valve when it is operating at high (> 50°C) or low (< 0°C) media temperatures can cause injury.
PAGE 9
Operating and installation instructions ASTRA®Plus - If the stem (pos. 4.2) starts leaking, tighten the bolted gland (pos. 12) until leaking stops DN250-400: - If the spindle (pos. 4.2) starts leaking, tighten the stuffing box (pos. 17) with the hexagonal nut (pos. 23)until leaking stops. ATTENTION ! - Retighten the stuffing box packing if required and re-pack it in good time. - For safety reasons we recommend that valves only be repacked when depressurised. - See point 10.0 and 11.
