Flowserve LPC Compact Actuator Series - Manual (Page 4)

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.).
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 a 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 on store for longer periods 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).
