1.5 Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of their training, experience and instruction and their knowledge of
relevant standards, specifications, accident prevention regulations and operating conditions, have been authorized by
those responsible for the safety of the plant to perform the necessary work and who can recognize and avoid possible
dangers.
1.6 Spare Parts
Use only Flowserve original spare parts. Flowserve cannot accept responsibility for any damages that occur from using
spare parts or fastening materials from other manufactures. If Flowserve products (especially sealing materials) have
been on store for long periods of time check them for corrosion or deterioration before putting them into use. See pages
46-54 for parts listings and numbers
1.7 Service / Repair
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to products, safety terms must be strictly adhered to. Modifying this
product, substituting non-factory parts, or using maintenance procedures other than those outlined in these Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Instructions could drastically affect performance, be hazardous to personnel and equip-
ment, and may void existing warranties. Between the actuator and the valve there are moving parts. To avoid injury,
Flowserve provides pinch-point-protection in the form of cover plates, especially where side-mounted positioners are
fitted. If these plates are removed for inspection, service or repair special attention is required. After completing work the
cover plates must be refitted. Apart from the operating instructions and the obligatory accident prevention directives valid
in the country of use, all recognized regulations for safety and good engineering practices must be followed.
WARNING: Before products are returned to Flowserve for repair or service, Flowserve must be provided with a
certificate that confirms that the product has been decontaminated and is clean. Flowserve will not accept deliveries if a
certificate has not been provided (a form can be obtained from Flowserve).
1.8 Storage
In most cases, Flowserve products are manufactured from stainless steel. Products not manufactured from stainless
steel are provided with an epoxy resin coating. This means that Flowserve products are well protected from corrosion.
Nevertheless, Flowserve products must be stored adequately in a clean, dry environment. Heating is not required. Con-
trol valve packages must be stored on suitable skids, not directly on the floor. Plastic caps are fitted to protect the flange
faces and prevent the ingress of foreign materials. These caps should not be removed until the valve is actually mounted
into the system.
Long Term Storage of StarPac 3 Positioner in Humid Locations
The StarPac 3 positioners are designed to operate in humid environments when connected to a proper instrument air
supply. There are some occasions when valves and positioners are stored at job sites or installed and commissioned
and then left without instrument air for months. To make startup easier for units that are left without instrument air and
insure that the positioners will be ready to operate, it is recommended that the vent assembly of the positioner be sealed
preferably with a desiccant pouch sealed with the vent assembly.
