1.1 General Usage
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 actuators and accessories are designed for specific applications with regard to medium,
pressure and temperature. For this reason they should not be used in other applications without first contacting the
manufacturer.
1.2 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.
c DANGER: indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage will occur if proper
precautions are not taken.
a WARNING: indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage can occur if proper
precautions are not taken.
a 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 very obvious, even to qualified
personnel.
Compliance with other, not particularly emphasized notes, with regard to transport, assembly, operation and main-
tenance 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 problematic applications (e.g. extremely high pressures, dangerous, toxic or
corrosive media). When performing service, inspection or repair operations 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 (protective clothing, gloves, glasses etc.).
