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.
The pump frame must have returned to environmental
temperature. It must then be depressurised and emptied of
liquid.
It is a fundamental principle that any work on the machine
must be carried out whilst it is shutdown. It is essential to
respect the pump shutdown procedure described in the
instructions manual.
All pumps or motor pumps which pump hazardous materials
must be decontaminated.
All safety and protection devices must be installed and put into
operation as soon as work concludes.
Before starting up again, all that described in the First Start-Up
section must be followed.
2.7 Modifications and arbitrary manufacture of
spare parts
The machine must not be modified or changed without prior
agreement from the manufacturer. Only original spare parts
and accessories approved by the manufacturer can guarantee
safety. The use of other components may terminate any
liability for consequences deriving from their use.
2.8
Unauthorised operation modes
The safe service of the supplied pump can only be guaranteed
through correct use, in line with section 4 of the Instructions
Manual. The operation limits established in the Datasheet
must not be exceeded under any circumstance.
2.9
Warnings for equipment with marking
KSB ITUR pumps marked with the ATEX plate are
valid for group II category 2 and 3, zones 1, 21, 2 and
22 temperature class as shown on the plate and Conformity
Certificate.
Reliability may be lost through incorrect use, poor
connections or any modifications, however small.
If the liquid is fuel, the pump frame pieces are
constructed from ductile material and the impact test
described in EN 13463-1 has been passed.
It is necessary to take into account the rules on the
connection and use of electrical devices in hazardous
areas, in particular national regulations on installation. Only
qualified personnel who are familiar with these rules should
handle this type of machine.
Any repair made by the end user, unless explicitly
approved by KSB ITUR, shall release the
manufacturer from any liability relating to Directive 94/9/EC.
Individual pieces supplied as spare parts must be originals,
supplied and checked by KSB ITUR

Transport and storage
3.1
Transport and handling
The transport and handling of the equipment must be
carried out using suitable means in line with the
weight to be supported. The weight is generally
shown on the delivery note or on the factory plate; if it is not,
and the equipment cannot be handled safely, please contact
KSB ITUR.
Remember that the equipment must never be lifted using the
ring bolts of the different items (e.g. motor and pump ring bolt),
which are exclusively for independent transport.
It is also important not to use the pump and
pipe flanges or joining elements, e.g.
couplings.
Note
If the equipment is to be lifted using straps,
these must always be run underneath the
motor and pump support.
Note
When the pumps are dismounted from their transport
pallet, suitable means must be used to ensure the
stability of the equipment, until it is finally secured at
its definitive location.
3.2 Provisional
storage/Conservation
During provisional storage, it is necessary to protect the parts
with preservation products from contact with the low alloy
liquid (e.g. grey casting, nodular casting, etc). Preservation
products available on the sector market can be used, in line
with the manufacturer's instructions on application and
disposal.
The pump, or motor pump, shall be placed in a dry site where
the relative humidity is as constant as possible.
When stored outside, it is necessary to keep the pump/motor
pump in an impermeable box, ensuring it does not come into
contact with external humidity.
Protect the stored product from humidity, dirt,
parasites and unauthorised access. All
openings must remain closed, and must not be opened until
necessary during assembly.
Note
The shiny (mechanised) parts and surfaces of the pump must
be protected from corrosion using silicone-free grease or oil.
All equipment supplied on a transport bench (forklift
truck, carriage, etc) should be secured using the
envisaged attachment device or brake. Ask KSB
ITUR for the specific instructions manual for your transport
bench if you do not have one already (see annex 9.2).
The electric motor must be disconnected, the
connection cables removed and the terminal box
closed with its cover on.
The switchboards must be in vertical position and
disconnected.
