2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
2.1 : General Information
Before performing any actions detailed within this instruction, the Site Health and
Safety instructions must read and fully understood. The instructions in this
document also must be read and fully understood.
Whenever the equipment is operated, maintained or used in any way, the procedures
detailed within the Health and Safety Dossier (DHS) and any procedures detailed
within these instructions shall be followed. The pump supplied by Kirloskar Brothers
Limited (KBL) has been designed with safety in mind, where hazards cannot be
eliminated; the risk has been minimized by the use of guards and other design
features. Some hazards cannot be guarded against and the instructions below MUST
BE COMPLIED WITH for safe operation. These instructions cannot cover all
circumstances. It is the responsibility of the user of the equipment for maintaining
safe working practices at all times.
2.1.1 KBL products are designed for installation in designated areas, which are to be kept
clean and free of obstructions that may restrict safe access to the controls and
maintenance access points.
2.1.2 Pump nameplate is fitted to each unit and must not be removed. Loss of this plate
could make identification impossible. This in turn could affect safety and cause
difficulty in obtaining spare parts. Should accidental loss or damage occur, contact
KBL immediately.
2.1.3 Access to the equipment should be restricted to the personnel responsible for
installation, operation and maintenance and they must be trained, adequately
qualified and supplied with the appropriate tools for their respective tasks.
2.1.4 KBL firmly insists that all personnel responsible for installation, operation and
maintenance of the equipment must read safety instructions mentioned in the
manual before any work is done.
