The following instructions are designed to assist in unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as required on Flowserve
mechanical and hydraulic overrides. Product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this bulletin prior to

ture and media. For this reason they should not be used in other applications without first contacting the manufacturer. This manual
shall be used in conjunction with any other instruction, document, checklist with the actuator the accessories are installed onto, also
related to single equipment or parts of actuator itself.

depressurized and that the valve has been cleaned and is free from harmful substances. In such cases, pay particular attention to
personal protection equipment (protective clothing, gloves, glasses, etc.).
