1.4 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.
1.5 Other General Requirements for In-Plant Installation
• Pipelines must be correctly aligned to ensure that the valve is not fitted under tension.
• Flowserve can provide fire protection system. If not expressly agreed, fire protection must be provided by user.
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 manufacturers. If Flowserve products (especially sealing materials) have
been stored for long periods (more than 4 months to two years) check these for corrosion or deterioration before using
these products.
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 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.
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.
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).
1.8 Actuator Lifting and Handling
Only Allen wrenches and hexagonal wrenches of the correct size are required for overall maintenance operations. The
lifting equipment consists on commercial chains and slings of adequate dimensions.
In order to prevent any damage to actuator accessories and actuator control panel, before starting the lifting operations,
check that the lifting tools are away from them and avoid any interference between them.
