5. MANAGEMENT
Observe the current accident prevention
standards. Risk of crushing. The pump may
be heavy. Use suitable lifting methods and
always wear personal protection
equipment.
Before handling the product, check its weight to
identify suitable lifting equipment.
5.1 Storage
All the pumps must be stored indoors, in a dry,
vibration-free and dust-free environment, possibly with
constant air humidity.They are supplied in their
original packaging and must remain there until the
time of installation. If this is not possible, the intake
and delivery aperture must be accurately closed.
5.2 Handling KVC-KVCX
Avoid subjecting the products to needless jolts or
collisions. To lift and transport the unit, use lifting
equipment
and
the
pallet
supplied
standard
(If applicable). Use suitable hemp or synthetic ropes
only if the part can be easily slung, connecting them if
possible to the eyebolts provided.
In the case of coupled pumps, the eyebolts provided
for lifting one part must not be used to lift the pump-
motor assembly.
6. WARNINGS
6.1 Safety
Use is allowed only if the electric system is in
possession of safety precautions in accordance with
the regulations in force in the country where the
product is installed ( for Italy, CEI 64/2 ).
6.2 Checking motor shaft rotation
Before installing the pump you must check that the
rotating parts turn freely. For this purpose, remove the
fan cover from its seat in the motor end cover. Insert a
screwdriver in the notch on the motor shaft from the
ventilation side.
Fig. 1
Do not force the fan with pliers or other
tools to try to free the pump as this
could cause deformation or breakage of
the pump
.
6.3 New systems
Before running new systems the valves, pipes, tanks
and couplings must be cleaned accurately.
To avoid welding waste or other impurities getting into
the pump, the use of TRUNCATED CONICAL filters
made of corrosion resistant materials (DIN 4181) is
recommended.

7. PROTECTIONS
7.1 Moving parts
Before starting the pump all the moving parts have to be
properly protected with dedicated components ( fan,
cover, etc. ).
During pump operation, keep well away
from the moving parts ( shaft, fan, etc. ).
If getting closed to the running pump is necessary, be
properly dressed as from laws rules, in order to avoid
injuries.
7.2 Noise level
See table A, pag. 113.
In cases where the LpA noise levels exceed 85 dB(A),
suitable HEARING PROTECTION must be used in the
place of installation, as required by the regulations in
force.
7.3 Hot and cold parts
DANGER OF BURNING !!
As well as being at high temperature
and high pressure, the fluid in the
system may also be in the form of
steam!
It may be dangerous even to touch the pump or
parts of the system.
If the hot or cold parts are a source of danger, they
must be accurately protected to avoid contact with
them.
8. INSTALLATION
The pumps may contain small
quantities of residual water from
testing. We advise flushing them briefly
with clean water before their final
installation.
