c WaRnIng: Read this Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual carefully and completely before attempting
to install, operate, or troubleshoot the Limitorque operator.
c WaRnIng: Potential HIGH PRESSURE vessel — be aware of high-pressure hazards associated with the attached
valve or other actuated device when installing or performing maintenance on the operator. Do not remove the
operator mounting bolts from the valve or actuated device unless the valve or device stem is secured or there is
no pressure in the line.
