PART A:
ATEX SAFETY MANUAL
TRAINING
It is recommended and a part of the CE regulations that users personnel who will be
involved in the installation, operation and/or maintenance of KBL products should
have the opportunity of an initial training period, which can be carried out either at
KBL works or customers premises by arrangement.
This training is offered by KBL in 3 different forms.
A.
Informal training in your maintenance workshop by our Technical Sales
Representative on a Free of Charge basis.
B.
Formal training in your training rooms by our skilled training personnel using
visual aids, ‘hands on’ equipment, etc., at an agreed cost to be confirmed.
C.
Formal training at KBL Premises by our skilled training personnel using visual
aids, ‘hands on’ equipment, etc., at an agreed cost to be confirmed.
It is your responsibility to request your preferred training method now. KBL will not
consider responsibility for ongoing breakdowns, etc., if training has not been given.
KBL offer a friendly after sales policy but, reserve the right to charge for “call out”
visits that are found to be caused through operator/fitter error.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
KBL products are designed to provide performance generally, as shown in
accompanying literature associated with the individual models or series. All
performance Figures are given in good faith and are based on tests at KBL works
using water at ambient temperature.
Operating temperatures are governed by the materials of construction of parts i.e.
bearings, shaft gland, sealings, seals, etc., and it is the installer’s responsibility to
ensure that these maximum temperatures are not exceeded under any
circumstances.
Performance Figures provided by KBL against individual enquiries are estimates only
and are subject to variations depending upon atmosphere pressure and volumes of
liquid provided by client, and to head losses due to pipe work, valves, etc., which
may be unknown to KBL estimators.
All performance Figures, temperatures, flow rates, dimensions & other details are
subject to change without notice. Due to the wide variety of products handled by
KBL pumps, it is impossible for KBL to give a firm recommendation regarding
materials of construction for pump components. It is the users or specifiers
responsibility to determine the effect of corrosion & abrasion, and the general
suitability of any pump supplied for any individual application. KBL will, however,
give advice in such material selection as it may be able to do so in good faith.
