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
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, temperature). For this reason they should not be
used in other applications without first contacting the manufacturer.
1.2 Terms concerning safety
The safety term s 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 dam age can occur if proper precautions are
not taken.
NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical information, which may not be very obvious even to
qualified personnel.
Compliance with other, not particularly emphasised notes, with regard to trans- port, assem bly, operation
and maintenance and with regard to technical documentation (e.g. in the operating instruction, product documentation or
on the product itself) is essential, in order to avoid faults, which in themselves might directly or indirectly cause severe
personal injury or property damage.
1.3 Protective clothing
FLOWSERVE products are often used
in problem atic applications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dangerous, toxic or corrosive mediums). In particular
valves with bellows seals point to such applications. When performing service, inspection or repair operations always
ensure, that the valve and actuator are depressurised and that the valve has been cleaned and is free from harmful
substances. In such cases pay particular attention to personal protection (protective clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).
