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 2014/34/EU.
Individual pieces supplied as spare parts must be originals,
supplied and checked by KSB ITUR

Transport and storage

3.1

Transport and handling

Improper handling of equipment and / or its
Note
individual elements can severely damage the
paint or protective coating of them, and can lead to premature
oxidation of the surfaces and shorten the operating life of
equipment.
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 in the drawing; if it is not, and
the equipment cannot be handled safely, please contact KSB
ITUR.
Danger to life from falling parts! The pump (or parts)
could slip out of the suspension arrangement. Stay
at safety distance from the parts during transport.
Do not remove the equipment from their
Note
transport pallets until final installation is to
take place. Once disassembled, the equipment should be kept
in horizontal position for transport, and never supported or
hold by its ends.
When pumps are dismounted from their transport
pallet, suitable means must be used to ensure the
stability of the equpment, until it is finally secured at
is definitive location.
Remember that the equipment must never be lifted
using only the eyebolts or lifting lugs of each
element (e.g. by means of eyebolts of motor and
pump) because they are designed for the individual
transport of the element. Never lift or transport the pump or
the equipment by the free end of the shaft. It is also important
not to use the pump and pipe flanges either joining elements
(e.g. couplings)
Use proper lifting straps or slings. These (out of
scope of supply) must not bear against sharp edges
and corners. If he equipment is to be lifted using
straps or slings, these must always be run
underneath the motor and pump support.
In line with previous recommendations, do not
Note
use transport elements or means that can
damage paint or protective coating of the equipment and
components. That it is not advised the use of chains and
similar items to wrap pump, columns and other components.
We also discourage the use of hooks.
3.2

Provisional storage/Conservation

The equipment and its components must be stored indoors, in
a clean, dry place, away from vibrations and where relative
humidity is as constant as possible.
All caps or covers of piping connections must
Note
be installed to prevent dirt and other materials
get into the equipment. Do not remove them until it is required
during the installation of equipment!
The electric motor must be disconnected, the
connection cables removed and the terminal box
closed with its cover on. Switchboards must be in
vertical position and disconnected.
If commissioning does not take place immediately after
delivery, it is advisable to store equipment and its components
taking following measures:
Short term storage (less than 6 months)

Inspect the protective coating or painted surfaces. If
any deficiency is to be seen, proceed to repair it. If
repainting needed consult KSB ITUR for the
characteristics of the paint.

It is necessary to protect with preservation products
the low alloy parts (e.g. grey casting, nodular casting,
etc...) in contact with liquid. Preservation products
available on the sector market can be used, in line
with the manufacturer's instructions on application
and disposal.

The shiny (mechanised) parts and surfaces of the
equipment and elements must be protected from
corrosion using silicone-free grease or oil.

Turn shaft by hand (at least once a month)
Long term storage (exceeding 6 months)
Consult KSB ITUR.
