WARNINGS
The following are hazards or unsafe practices which could
result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage. Heed the following.
Use safeguards. Insure that provisions must be made to pre-
vent the valve from being accidentally operated (actuated).
Hazardous Air Pressure. Shut off , disconnect and relieve any
trapped air pressure from the system before performing service
or maintenance.
Hazardous Voltage. Do not attempt any service without dis-
connecting all electrical supply sources.
Do not use the valve as a safety device or to operate or control
the operation of full revolution clutch systems or brake systems
on power presses or similar equipment.
Do not subject the valve to any condition that exceeds the lim-
its set forth in the specifi cations.
Air hoses, electrical wiring or connections not in good working
condition could cause accidental valve operation (actuation).
Only allow qualifi ed technicians to install or maintain the valve
system. It is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the
operation and application of all valves being used in a system
and how they interact with the other components of the sys-
tem.
PNEUMATIC VALVES
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING,
OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.
SIERRA TP SERIES
AIR AND LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS
Maximum Air Pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101.5 p.s.i.g. (7.0 bar)
Air Filtration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 micron
Proper moisture removal and filtration of contaminates will pro-
mote good service life and operation. Install an air regulator to con-
trol the operating pressure, insure smooth operation and conserve
energy.
Lubrication - Valve components have been lubricated at the fac-
tory and can be operated without air line lubrication. Minimal
lubrication may extend the life of the valve. If air line cylinders or
other air line devices used in conjunction with ARO valves require
lubrication, be sure the lubricating oils used are compatible with
the valve seals and are of sufficient viscosity to assure adequate
lubrication. Use an oil lubricant with a viscosity of 100 to 200 SUS
at 100° F and an aniline point above 200° F.
Recommended: ARO 29665 air line lubricator oil is available in one
quart containers.
NOTICE: Do not use compound oils containing graphite fi llers, ex-
tremely low viscosity and other non-fl uid lubricants.
