KIRLOSKAR 65-DSM 315M, Instruction On Installation, Operation And Maintenance

Page: 93 / 101

Do not place fingers or hands etc. into the suction or discharge pipe outlets and do not
touch the impeller, if rotated this may cause severe injury. To prevent ingress of any
objects, retain the protection covers or packaging in place until removal is necessary for
installation. If the packaging or suction and discharge covers are removed for inspection
purposes, replace afterwards to protect the pump and maintain safety.
3.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHILE ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Do not place fingers or hands etc. into the suction or discharge pipe outlets and do not
touch the impeller, if rotated this may cause severe injury. To prevent ingress of any
objects, retain the protection covers or packaging in place until removal is necessary for
installation.
Do not touch any moving or rotating parts. Guards are provided to prevent access to
these parts, where they have been removed for maintenance they must be replaced
before operating the equipment.
Shaft alignment must be checked again after the final positioning of the pump unit and
connection to pipework as this may have disturbed the pump or motor mounting
positions. If hot liquids (above 80 ° C) are being pumped, alignment should be checked
and reset with the pump and motor at their normal operating temperature. If this is not
possible, KBL can supply estimated initial offset figures to suit extreme operating
temperatures.
Failure to support suction and delivery pipework may result in distortion of the pump
casing, with the possibility of early pump failure.
4.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHILE COMMISSIONING & OPERATION.
Do not touch any moving or rotating parts. Guards are provided to prevent access to
these parts, where they have been removed for maintenance they must be replaced
before operating the equipment.
Check that the pump is primed. Pump should never be run dry as the pumped liquid acts,
as lubricant for the close running fits surrounding impeller and damage will be incurred.
Failure to supply the stuffing box or mechanical seal with cooling of flush water may
result in damage and premature failure of the pump.
Do not touch surfaces which during normal running will be sufficiently hot to cause
injury. Note that these surfaces will remain hot after the pump has stopped, allow
sufficient time for cooling before maintenance. Be cautious and note that other parts of
the pump may become hot if a fault is developing.
Do not operate water pumps in temperatures below freezing point, without first checking
that the pumped fluid is not frozen and the pump is free to turn. Pumps in these
environments should be drained down during inactivity and re-primed before starting.
In addition to local or site regulations for noise protection, KBL recommend the use of
personal ear protection equipment in all enclosed pump rooms and particularly those
containing diesel engines. Care must be taken to ensure that any audible alarm or
warning signal can be heard with ear defenders worn.
Be aware of the hazards relating to the pumped fluid, especially the danger from
inhalation of noxious and toxic gases, skin and eye contact or penetration. Obtain and
understand the hazardous substance data sheets relating to the pumped fluid and note
the recommended emergency and first aid procedures.
