Safety Protocol: Using 4V210-08 Manual Override Correctly

Safety First: Preventing Accidents with the Manual Override
The manual override on the Airtac 4V210-08 is a powerful tool, but if used incorrectly, it can cause severe machinery accidents. Follow these B2B safety protocols.
1. Lockout-Tagout (LOTO)
Never engage the manual override while a machine is under live "Lockout" status. The override bypasses electrical safeties. Only use it during authorized commissioning phases.
2. Verification of Cylinder Path
Before pressing the button on the 4V210-08, ensure no personnel are within the "strike zone" of the connected actuators. Pro Tip: Use a non-locking override for most applications to prevent the valve from being accidentally left in the "On" position.
