1.4 Qualified Personnel
Only Qualified Personnel should perform installation, operation or maintenance activities. Qualified personnel are people who, because
of their training, experience, 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 and its employees to perform the necessary
work and who can recognize and avoid possible dangers.
1.5 Other General Requirements for In-Plant Installation
• Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the valve is not fitted under tension.
• If not expressly agreed, fire protection is not supplied along with the actuator, and it must be provided by user.
1.6 Spare Parts
Use only Flowserve brand original spare parts. Flowserve cannot accept responsibility for any damages that occur from using spare
parts or fastening materials from other manufacturers. If Flowserve products (especially sealing materials) have been stored for long
periods (more than 4 months), check for corrosion or deterioration before using these products.
1.7 Service/Repair
To avoid injury to personnel or damage to products, safety terms must be strictly adhered to. Modifying this product, substituting
non-OEM parts, or using maintenance procedures other than outlined in this instruction could drastically affect performance and be
hazardous to personnel and equipment, and may void existing warranties.
Between actuator and 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. These protections are according to Machine Directive 2006/42/EC
recommendations. If these plates are removed for inspection, service or repair special attention is required. After completing work the
cover plates must be refitted.
In addition to 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.
a WARNING: Before products are returned to Flowserve for repair or service, Flowserve must be provided with a certificate which
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).
