1 General Information
1.1 Using
The following instructions are designed to assist in unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as required on
Flowserve products. Product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this bulletin prior to unpa-
cking, installing, operating, or performing any maintenance. In most cases, Flowserve valves, actuators and accessories
are designed for specific applications (e.g. with regard to medium, pressure, and temperature). For this reason, they
should not be used in other applications without first contacting the manufacturer. The product Installation, Operation,
and Maintenance Instructions provides important additional safety information.
1.2 Applicability
The following instructions are applicable to the maintenance and installation of Flowserve control valves with the StarPac
3 control system. These instructions cannot claim to cover all details of all possible product variations, nor can they pro-
vide information for every possible example of installation, operation or maintenance. This means that the instructions
normally include only the directions to be followed by qualified personal using the product for its defined purpose. If
there are any uncertainties in this respect, particularly in the event of missing product-related information, clarification
must be obtained via the appropriate Flowserve sales office. All Flowserve User Instruction Manuals are available at www.
flowserve.com.
1.3 Terms Concerning Safety
The safety terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE are used in these instructions to highlight
particular dangers and/or to provide additional information on aspects that may not be readily apparent.
DANGER: Indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage will occur if proper
precautions are not taken.
WARNING: Indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage can occur if proper
precautions are not taken.
CAUTION: Indicates that minor personal injury and/or property damage can occur if proper precautions are not
taken.
NOTE: Indicates and provides additional technical information, which may not be obvious, even to qualified
personnel. Compliance with other notes, which may not be particularly emphasized, with regard to transport,
assembly, operation and maintenance and with regard to technical documentation (e.g. in the operating instruc-
tions, product documentation, or on the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults, which can directly or
indirectly cause severe personal injury or property damage.
1.4 Personal Protective Equipment
Flowserve products are often used in problematic applications (e.g. under extremely high pressures with dangerous,
toxic or corrosive mediums). When performing service, an inspection or repair operation always ensure that the valve
and actuator are depressurized and that the valve has been cleaned and is free from harmful substances. In such cases,
pay particular attention to personal protection (e.g. protective clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).
