WARRANTY
Products manufactured by ROSS are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the
date of purchase. ROSS’ obligation under this warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the product or refund of the purchase
price paid solely at the discretion of ROSS and provided such product is returned to ROSS freight prepaid and upon examination
by ROSS is found to be defective. This warranty shall be void in the event that product has been subject to misuse, misapplication,
improper maintenance, modification or tampering. THE WARRANTY EXPRESSED ABOVE IS IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUSIVE OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND ROSS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ROSS MAKES NO WARRANTY WITH
RESPECT TO ITS PRODUCTS MEETING THE PROVISIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND/OR
HEALTH LAWS OR REGULATIONS. IN NO EVENT SHALL ROSS BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER, USER, THEIR EMPLOYEES OR
OTHERS FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY RESULT FROM A BREACH OF THE WARRANTY
DESCRIBED ABOVE OR THE USE OR MISUSE OF THE PRODUCTS. NO STATEMENT OF ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR
EMPLOYEE OF ROSS SHALL EXTEND THE LIABILITY OF ROSS AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
PRE-INSTALLATION or SERVICE
1. Before servicing a valve or other pneumatic component, be sure
that all sources of energy are turned off, the entire pneumatic system
is shut off and exhausted, and all power sources are locked-out (ref:
OSHA 1910.147, EN 1037).
2. All ROSS products, including service kits and parts, should be
installed and/or serviced only by persons having training and experience
with pneumatic equipment. Because any installation can be tampered
with or need servicing after installation, persons responsible for the
safety of others or the care of equipment must check every installation
on a regular basis and perform all necessary maintenance.
3. All applicable instructions should be read and complied with before
using any fluid power system in order to prevent harm to persons
or equipment. In addition, overhauled or serviced valves must be
functionally tested prior to installation and use.
4. Each ROSS product should be used within its specification limits.
In addition, use only ROSS parts to repair ROSS products. Failure to
follow these directions can adversely affect the performance of the
product or result in the potential for human injury.
FILTRATION and LUBRICATION
5. Dirt, scale, moisture, etc. are present in virtually every air system.
Although some valves are more tolerant of these contaminants than
others, best performance will be realized if a filter is installed to clean
the air supply, thus preventing contaminants from interfering with the
proper performance of the equipment. ROSS recommends a filter with
a 5-micron rating for normal applications.
6. All standard ROSS filters and lubricators with polycarbonate plastic
bowls are designed for compressed air applications only. Do not fail to
use the metal bowl guard, where provided, to minimize danger from high
pressure fragmentation in the event of bowl failure. Do not expose these
products to certain fluids, such as alcohol or liquefied petroleum gas,
as they can cause bowls to rupture, creating a combustible condition,
hazardous leakage, and the potential for human injury. Immediately
replace a crazed, cracked, or deteriorated bowl. When bowl gets dirty,
replace it or wipe it with a clean dry cloth.
7. Only use lubricants which are compatible with materials used in the
valves and other components in the system. Normally, compatible lubricants
are petroleum base oils with oxidation inhibitors, an aniline point between
180°F (82°C) and 220°F (104°C), and an ISO 32, or lighter, viscosity.
Avoid oils with phosphate type additives which can harm polyurethane
components, potentially leading to valve failure and/or human injury. If
you have questions regarding whether a lubricant used on your system is
compatible with ROSS products, please contact ROSS.
AVOID INTAKE/EXHAUST RESTRICTION
8. Do not restrict the air flow in the supply line. To do so could reduce
the pressure of the supply air below the minimum requirements for the
valve and thereby cause erratic action.
9. Do not restrict a valve’s exhaust port as this can adversely affect its
operation. Exhaust silencers must be resistant to clogging and have
flow capacities at least as great as the exhaust capacities of the valves.
Contamination of the silencer can result in reduced flow and increased
back pressure.
ROSS expressly disclaims all warranties and responsibility for any
unsatisfactory performance or injuries caused by the use of the wrong
type, wrong size, or inadequately maintained silencer installed with
a ROSS product.
POWER PRESSES
10. Mechanical power presses and other potentially hazardous
machinery using a pneumatically controlled clutch and brake mechanism
must use a press control double valve with a monitoring device. A double
valve without a self-contained monitoring device should be used only
in conjunction with a control system which assures monitoring of the
valve. All double valve installations involving hazardous applications
should incorporate a monitoring system which inhibits further operation
of the valve and machine in the event of a failure within the valve
mechanism.
ENERGY ISOLATION/EMERGENCY STOP
11. Per specifications and regulations, ROSS
L-O-X ® and manual
L-O-X ® with EEZ-ON ® operation products are defined as energy isolation
devices, NOT AS EMERGENCY STOP DEVICES.
