1 General
This KSB ITUR pump has been developed in
line with state-of-the-art technology,
manufactured with great care and put through continuous
Quality Control. The present Instructions Manual will provide
you with knowledge of the pump and the ways it can be
applied.
It contains important instructions to operate the pump
appropriately and profitably. It is important to comply with the
manual in order to guarantee reliability and a long useful life
for the pump, whilst avoiding any possible risks.
This manual does not include any local regulations or any
instructions with regards to assembly personnel, which the
user shall be responsible for.
This group cannot be used in conditions in excess of
those established in the technical documentation
with regards to the liquid to be pumped, flow, speed
(rpm), density, pressure and temperature, and with regards to
the motor power or anything else set out in the instructions
manual and contractual documentation. Check with the
manufacturer as appropriate.
The factory plate shows the model/size, the main service data
and the manufacture number of the pump. Please include
these data in any queries, subsequent orders or requests for
spare parts.
If you require any additional information or have problems with
regards to failures, please contact the nearest KSB ITUR
service.
2 Safety
This instructions manual contains fundamental instructions
which must be complied with in assembly, service and
maintenance. It must be read by assembly personnel,
competent technical personnel and users before installing and
starting up, and it must be available at all times at the place of
location of the machine.
Proceed not only in line with this main safety chapter, but also
observing the instructions described in other similarly
important safety points.
2.1
Marking of warnings in this manual
The instructions which may involve hazard if not observed are
highlighted with the following general symbols:
Safety instructions which may involve a hazard to

Safety instructions to prevent electrical hazards in
accordance with IEC 417-5036.
Safety instructions which may affect the
equipment and its operation if not complied
with.
Safety instructions to prevent the risk of explosion.
Only applicable to groups with ATEX plate, specially
designed to satisfy Directive 94/9/EC on the prevention of the
risk of explosion.
The details shown directly on the machine, such as:
- Rotation direction arrow
- Fluid connection identifications
These must be observed, and conserved in a manner which
ensures they are legible.
2.2
Personnel qualifications and instruction
All Service, Maintenance, Inspection and Assembly personnel
must be duly qualified. The terms regarding responsibility,
competence and supervision of personnel must be regulated
by the user in an exact manner.
Note
Any personnel lacking appropriate know-how must be duly
instructed. This preparation can be obtained upon request by
the machine user to the manufacturer or supplier of the
machine.
Finally, the user must ensure that all personnel have fully
understood the content of the instructions manual.
2.3 Risks of failing to comply with the safety
instructions
Failure to comply with the safety instructions may lead to risks
both for people, the environment and the machine, and may
lead to the loss of any entitlement to claims.
In particular, failure to comply may cause the following
hazards:
- Failure of important machine/facility functions.
- Failure of the prescribed maintenance and conservation
methods.
- Personal hazard resulting from electrical, mechanical or
chemical effects.
- Danger to the environment due to escaping noxious
products.
2.4
Conscientious safety at work
The safety instructions contained in this Manual must be
observed, as must international prescriptions on Health and
Safety at Work and any possible Safety Regulations at the
workplace of the user.
2.5 Safety instructions for users and service
personnel
The operator is responsible for keeping the
temperature of the fluid within the pump classification
temperature limits.
- The installer must ensure that the parts of the machine
which may create danger due to heat or cold are
protected against accidental contact. The operator shall
check as well that the coupling guard is in place and
firmly secured.
- The contact protections of moving parts (e.g. couplings)
must not be removed whilst the machine is in service.
- Provide the personnel with protective equipment and
make sure it is used.
- Any possible leaks (e.g. through the shaft sealing) of
hazardous products must be channelled in such a
manner as they do not present any risk to people or the
environment, in line with corresponding legislation.
Note
- Follow safety instructions due to use of power. In this
respect refer to the applicable national safety regulations
and/or regulations issued by the energy supply comp
2.6 Safety instructions for maintenance,
inspection and assembly work
The user must ensure that all maintenance, inspection and
assembly tasks are carried out by authorised, qualified,
specialised personnel who have been sufficiently informed
through careful study of the instructions manual.
