5
2 Safety
All warnings in the manual are summarised on this page. Pay special attention to the instructions below so that severe personal injury and/or damage to the pump are avoided.
2.3 Safety precautions
Installation:
Always read the technical data thoroughly. (See chapter 6 Technical data)
!
GM-A: Always remove the impeller before checking the direction of rotation. Never start the pump if the impeller is fitted and the pump casing is removed.
GM: Never start in the wrong direction of rotation with liquid in the pump.
Always have the pump electrically connected by authorised personnel. (See the motor instruction)
Operation:
Always read the technical data thoroughly. (See chapter 6 Technical data)
!
Never touc
h the pump or the pipelines when pumping hot liquids or when sterilising. Never run the pump with both the suction side and the pressure side blocked. Never run t
he pump when partially installed or not completely assembled.
Necessary precautions must be taken if leakage occurs as this can lead to hazardous situations.
Always handle lye and acid with great care. Never use
the pump for products not mentioned in the Alfa Laval pump selection program.
The Alfa Laval pump selection program can be acquired from your local Alfa Laval sales company.
Maintenance:
Always read the technical data thoroughly. (See chapter 6 Technical data)
!
Never service the pump when it is hot. Never service the pump if pressurised. Always use Alfa Laval genuine spare parts.
Always disconnect the power supply when servicing the pump.
Transportation: Transportation of the pump or the pump unit: Never lift or elevate in any way other than described in this manual. Always drain the pump head and accessories of any liquid. Always ensure that no leakage of lubricants can occur. Always transport the pump in it’s upright position. Always ensure that the unit is securely fixed during transportation. Always use the original packaging or similar during transportation.

3 Installation
3.1 Unpacking/delivery
Step 1 CAUTION Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect unpacking.
Check the delivery for:
1. Complete pump.
2. Delivery note.
3. Motor instructions.
4. Test certificate, IF ORDERED!
Step 2 Remove any packing materials from the inlet and the outlet. Avoid damaging the inlet and the outlet. Avoid damaging the connections for flushing liquid, if supplied.
Step 3 Inspect the pump for visible transport damages.
Step 4 Always remove the shroud, if fitted, before lifting the pump.
7
3 Installation
Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings! Always check the pump before operation.
- See pre-use check in
section 3.3 Pre-use check - GM-A.
3.2 Installation
Step 1
!
Always read the technical data thoroughly. (See chaper 6 Technical data)
Always have the pump electrically connected by authorised personnel.
CAUTION Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect installation.
WARNING: Alfa Laval recommend the installation of a lockable repair breaker. If the repair breaker is to be used as an emergency stop,
the colours of the repair breaker must be red and yellow.
Caution: The pump does not prevent back-flow when intentionally or unintentionally stopped. If back-flow can cause any hazardous
situations, precautions must be taken e.g. check valve to be installed in the system to prevent that described above.
Note In case of shaft seal leakage, the media will drip from the slot in the bottom of the adaptor. In case of shaft seal leakage, Alfa
Laval recommend placing a drip tray underneath the slot for collecting the leakage.
Step 2 Ensure that there is sufficient clearance around the pump.
Step 3 Check that the flow direction is correct.
Step 4
1. Ensure that the pipelines are routed correctly.
2. Ensure that the connections are tight.
Remember seal rings!

2. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the motor fan is clockwise as viewed from the back of the motor.
Step 4 Assemble the pump in accordance with the instructions in section 5.3.
Pre-use check GM
See the indication label
1. Start and stop the motor momentarily.
2. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the motor fan is clockwise as viewed from the back of the motor.
3.4 Recycling information
• Unpacking
- Packing material consists of wood, plastics, cardboard boxes and in some cases metal straps.
- Wood and cardboard boxes can be reused, recycled or used for energy recovery.
- Plastics should be recycled or burnt at a licensed waste incineration plant.
- Metal straps should be sent for material recycling.
• Maintenance
- During maintenance, oil and wear parts in the machine are replaced.
- All metal parts should be sent for material recycling.
- Worn out or defective electronic parts should be sent to a licensed handler for material recycling.
- Oil and all non-metal wear parts must be disposed of in agreement with local regulations.
•Scrapping
- At end of use, the equipment shall be recycled according to relevant local regulations. Beside the equipment itself, any
hazardous residues from the process liquid must be considered and dealt with in a proper manner. When in doubt, or in the absence of local regulations, please contact your local Alfa Laval sales company.

11
4Operation
Pay attention to possible faults. Study the instructions carefully.
4.2 Trouble shooting
NOTE! Study the maintenance instructions carefully before replacing worn parts.
Problem
Cause/result
Remedy
Overloaded motor
- Pumping of viscous liquids
- Smaller impeller
- Pumping of high-density liquids
- Low outlet pressure (counter pressure) - Higher counter pressure (throttling)
Cavitation:
- Damage - Low inlet pressure - Increase the inlet pressure
- Pressure reduction (sometimes to
zero)
- High liquid temperature - Reduce the liquid temperature
- Increasing of the noise level - Reduce the pressure drop before the
pump
Leaking shaft seal - Dry run Replace:
All wearing parts
- Incorrect rubber grade If necessary:
- Change rubber grade
-Abra
sive particles in the liquid
- Select stationary and rotating seal ring in Silicon Carbide/Silicon Carbide
Leaking O-ring seals
Incorrect rubber grade
Change rubber grade

The above LKH noise levels are the same for LKHPF, LKHI, LKH UltraPure, LKH Evap and LKHex The above SolidC noise levels are the same for SolidC UltraPure.
The n
oise measurements have been carried out with the original motor and shroud, approximately at the Best Efficiency
Point (BEP) with water at ambient temperature and at 50 Hz. Very often, the noise level generated by the flow through the process system (e.g. valves, pipes, tanks etc.) is much higher than
what is generated by the pump itself. Therefore, it is important to consider the noise level from the total system and take the necessary precautions with regards to personal safety if required.
