REVISION NO.1
GENERAL INFORMATION & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The products supplied by KBL have 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. Installation, operation and maintenance personnel must use
safe working practices at all the times.
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.
A pump duty 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. If accidental loss or damage
occur, contact KBL immediately.
1.2 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 appropriate tools for their respective tasks.
1.3 Most accidents involving product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by
failure to observe safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided
by recognizing potential situations before an accident occurs. A person must be
aware of potential hazard associated in activities of installation, operation and
maintenance of equipment.
1.4 KBL requires that, all personnel who are responsible for installation, operation or
maintenance of the equipment, have access to and study the product instruction
manual BEFORE any work is done and that they will comply with all local and
industry based safety instructions and regulations.
