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.
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
If the equipment is to be lifted using straps,
these must always be run underneath the
motor and pump support.
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 deposited 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.
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
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.

4.3
Form of construction
Pump casing with in line suction and impulsion. It has a relief
bypass valve, adjustable and with automatic opening.
Sizes RC-00 and RC-01 are close coupled constructions (not
available in vertical version) with rigid coupling. The other
sizes are free shaft construction with flexible coupling.
Bearing bushes: The RC-00 and RC-01 size pumps do not
have friction bearing bushes. The other pump sizes include
either bearings or friction bearing bushes, both lubricated by
the pumped fluid.
Shaft sealing: Lip seals in sizes RC-00 and RC-01 and
mechanical seal in the other sizes.
