R803       *Don’t modify pneumatics. All pneumatic COMPONENTS must be used in their original, unaltered condition. Exceptions are as follows:

A.      tubing may be cut,

B.      wiring for pneumatic devices may be modified to interface with the control system,

C.      assembling and connecting pneumatic COMPONENTS using the pre-existing threads, mounting brackets, quick-connect fittings, etc.,

D.      removing the mounting pin from a pneumatic cylinder, provided the cylinder itself is not modified, and

E.      labeling applied to indicate device purpose, connectivity, functional performance, etc.

Do not, for example, paint, file, machine, or abrasively remove any part of a pneumatic COMPONENT – this would cause the part to become a prohibited item.
