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 nonfactory 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. 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 recognised regulations for safety and good
engineering practices must be followed.
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 pro-
vided (a form can be obtained from FLOWSERVE).
1.8 Storage
In most cases FLOWSERVE products are manufactured
from stainless steel. Products not manufactured from
stainless steel are provided with an epoxy resin coating.
This means that FLOWSERVE products are well protected
from corrosion. Nevertheless FLOWSERVE products
must be stored adequately in a clean, dry environment.
Plastic caps are fitted to protect the flange faces to
prevent the ingress of foreign materials. These caps
should not be removed until the valve is actually mounted
into the system.
1.9 Valve and actuator variations
These instructions cannot claim to cover all details of
all possible product variations, nor can they provide
information for every possible example of installation,
operation or maintenance. This means that the
instructions normally include only the directions to
be followed by qualified personal where the product
is being used for is defined purpose. If there are any
uncertainties in this respect particularly in the event of
missing product-related information, clarification must
be obtained via the appropriate FLOWSERVE sales office.
1.10 Unpacking
Each delivery includes a packing slip. When
unpacking, check all delivered valves and accessories
using this packing slip.
Report transport damage to the carrier immediately.
