2.5 Safety instructions for the operator / user
- Any hot or cold components that could pose a hazard
must be equipped with a guard by the operator.
- Guards which are fitted to prevent accidental contact
with moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not be
removed whilst the unit is operating.
- Leakages (e.g. at the shaft seal) of hazardous fluids
handled (e.g. explosive, toxic, hot) must be contained
so as to avoid any danger to persons or the
environment. All relevant laws must be heeded.
- Electrical hazards must be eliminated. (In this
respect refer to the relevant safety regulations
applicable to different countries and / or the local
energy supply companies.)
- Any components in contact with the fluid pumped,
especially in the case of abrasive fluids, shall be
inspected for wear at regular intervals and replaced
by original spare parts (see section 2.7) in due time.
If the pumps / units are located in hazardous
areas, it is imperative to make sure that
unauthorized modes of operation are prevented. Non–
compliance may result in the specified t emperature limits
being exceeded.
2.6 Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection
and installation work
The operator is responsible for ensuring that all
maintenance, inspection and installation work be
performed by authorized, qualified specialist personnel
who are thoroughly familiar with the manual.
The pump must have cooled down to ambient
temperature, pump pressure must have been released
and the pump must have been drained.
Work on the machine / unit must be carried out only
during standstill. The shutdown procedure described in
the manual for taking the unit out of service must be
adhered to without fail.
Pumps or pump units handling fluids injurious to health
must be decontaminated.
Immediately following completion of the work, all safetyrelevant and protective devices must be re-installed and /
or re-activated.
Please observe all instructions set out in the chapter on
“Commissioning” before returning the unit to service.
2.7 Unauthorized modification and manufacture of
spare parts
Modifications or alterations of the equipment supplied are
only permitted after consultation with the manufacturer
and to the extent permitted by the manufacturer. Original
spare parts and accessories authorized by the
manufacturer ensure safety. The use of other parts can
invalidate any liability of the manufacturer for
consequential damage.
2.8 Unauthorized modes of operation
The warranty relating to the operating reliability and
safety of the unit supplied is only valid if the equipment is
used in accordance with its designated use as described
in the following sections. The limits stated in the data
sheet must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
WKT
2.9 Explosion protection
If the pumps / units are installed in hazardous
areas, the measures and instructions given in
the following sections 2.9.1 to 2.9.6 must be adhered to
without fail, to ensure explosion protection.
2.9.1 Unit fill
It is assumed that the system of suction and
discharge lines and thus the wetted pump
internals are completely filled with the product to be
handled at all times during pump operation, so that an
explosive atmosphere is prevented.
If the operator cannot warrant this condition,
appropriate monitoring devices must be used.
Caution
systems of the shaft seal and the heating and cooling
systems are properly filled.
2.9.2 Marking
The marking on the pump only refers to the pump
part, i.e. the coupling and motor must be regarded
separately. The coupling must have an EC
manufacturer’s declaration. The driver must be regarded
separately.
Example of marking on the pump part:
The marking indicates the theoretically available
temperature range as stipulated by the respective
temperature classes. The temperatures permitted for the
individual pump variants are outlined in section 2.9.5.
Pumps WKT are designed to meet the requirements of
Zone 1 and Category 2 as per EN1127-1 when sealed
by mechanical seal.
2.9.3 Checking the direction of rotation (see also
6.1.7)
If the explosion hazard also exists during the
installation phase, the direction of rotation must
never be checked by starting up the unfille d pump unit,
even for a short period, to prevent temperature increases
resulting from contact between rotating and stationary
components.
2.9.4 Pump operating mode
Make sure that the pump is always started up with the
suction-side shut-off valve fully open and the dischargeside shut-off valve slightly open. However, the pump can
also be started up against a closed swing check valve.
The discharge-side shut-off valve shall be adjusted to
comply with the duty point immediately following the ru nup process (see 6.2).
Pump operation with the shut-off valves in the
suction and / or discharge pipes closed is not
permitted.
Caution
temperatures after a very short time, due to a rapid
temperature rise in the pumped fluid inside the pump.
In addition, it is imperative to make sure
that the seal chambers, auxiliary
Ex II 2 G T1 - T5
In this condition, there is a risk of the
pump casing taking on high surface
5
Additionally, the resulting rapid pressure build-up inside
the pump may cause excessive stresses on the pump
materials or even bursting.
The minimum flows indicated in section 6.4.5 refer to
water and water-like liquids. Longer operating periods
with these liquids and at the flow rates indicated will not
cause an additional increase in the temperatures on th e
pump surface. However, if the physical properties of the
fluids handled are different from water, it is essential to
check if an additional heat build-up may occur and if the
minimum flow rate must therefore be increased. To
check, proceed as described in section 6.4.5.
In addition, the instructions given in section 6 of this
operating manual must be observed.
Both gland packings and mechanical s eals may
exceed the specified temperature limits if run
dry. Dry running may not only result from an
inadequately filled seal chamber, but also from
excessive gas content in the fluid handled.
Pump operation outside its specified operating range
may also result in dry running.
In hazardous areas, gland packings shall only be
used if combined with a suitable temperature
monitoring device.
2.9.5 Temperature limits
In normal pump operation, the highest
temperatures are to be expected on the surface
of the pump and distributor casing, at the shaft seal and
in the bearing areas. The surface temperature at the
pump casing corresponds to the temperature of the fluid
handled.
If the pump is heated, it must be ensured that the
temperature classes stipulated for the plant are observed.
In the bearing bracket area, the unit surfaces must be
freely exposed to the atmosphere.
In any case, responsibility for compliance with the
specified fluid temperature (operating temperature)
lies with the plant operator. The maximum
permissible fluid temperature depends on the
temperature class to be complied with.
The table below lists the temperature classes to EN
13463-1 and the resulting theoretical temperature limits of
the fluid handled. In stipulating these temperatures, any
temperature rise in the shaft seal area has already been
taken into account.

data sheet. If the pump is to be operated at a higher
temperature, the data sheet is missing or if the pump is
part of a pool of pumps, the maximum permissible
operating temperature must be inquired from the pump
manufacturer.
Based on an ambient temperature of 40ºC and proper
maintenance and operation, compliance with temperatur e

temperature class T6 in the bearing area. In such cases,
and if ambient temperature exceeds 40ºC, contact the
manufacturer.
2.9.6 Maintenance
Only a pump unit which is properly serviced and
maintained in perfect technical condition will give
safe and reliable operation.
This also applies to the reliable function of the rolling
element bearings whose actual lifetime largely depends
on the operating mode and operating conditions.
Regular checks of the lubricant and the running noises
will prevent the risk of excessive temperatures as a result
of bearings running hot or defective bearing seals (also
see section 6.1.4).
The correct function of the shaft seal must be checked
regularly. Any auxiliary systems installed must be
monitored, if necessary, to make sure they function
correctly.
Gland packings must be tightened correctly, to prevent
excessive temperatures due to packings running hot.
3. Transport and interim storage
3.1 Transport
The transport of motor-pump set or only pump should be
made with ability and sound sense, according to safety
standards. By the motor eyebolt should only lift it, never
the motor-pump set.
If the pump / unit slips out of the suspension
arrangement, it may cause personal injury and
damage to property!
Vertical pumps up to about 4 m shipping length are
dispatched completely assembled. Larger pumps are
dispatched in sub-assemblies and must be assembled at
site under KSB´s supervision only.
The stuffing box is not packed and the packing is supplied
loose.
The barrel is normally supplied loose with the pump.
To avoid damage in transit, the motor is usually not
mounted before dispatch.
Please refer packing list received with the pump for more
details.
3.2 Interim storage (indoors) / Preservation
KSB standard storage and preservation procedures
maintain the pump protected for a maximum period of 6
months in an indoor installation. The unit / pump should
be stored in a dry room where the atmospheric humidity
is as constant as possible. When this period is exceeded,
additional storage procedure should be taken. For that,
please use the following conservation liquids:
- Internal parts of ferrous material in contact with
pumped liquid (except mechanical seal contact
surfaces): water repellent of mineral oil basis.
- Bearings: mineral oil for internal conservation.
- Polished parts: mineral oil for internal and external
conservation.
- Mechanical seals: should be cleaned by dry air. Do
not apply any liquid or other conservation material i n
6
order to not damage secondary sealings (O´rings
and flat gaskets).
All existing connections, like plugs for external source
liquid, priming, drainage, etc, should be properly covered.
Pump suction and discharge flanges are properly covered
with adhesive, in order to avoid strange contents in its
interior.
Assembled pumps waiting for startup or installation
should have their rotor manually rotated each 15 days. In
case of difficulty, use some adjustable spanner,
protecting the motor shaft surface.
Before conservation liquids application, areas should be
washed with gas or kerosene until they are completely
cleaned.
The conservative liquids can be removed from the areas
in contact with pumped liquid, polished parts and surfaces
like: shaft, salient faces and couplings, by means of
solvents derived from petroleum or clean industrial
liquids. Drain the conservative oil from bearing bracket
before fulfill it with lubricant oil.
3.3 Devolution / discard
3.3.1 Devolution
- Drain the pump correctly.
- Carefully wash and clean the pump, especially in
case of harmful, explosive, hot fluids or other
hazardous fluids.
- In the case fluids are pumped, and they are with
residues which can cause corrosion damage when in
contact with atmospheric humidity or that can ignite
in contact with oxygen, the pump aggregate must be
additionally neutralized and its dry process must be
executed through blowing inert gas without water
through the aggregate.
- Should always be sent with the pump / motor pump
set a certificate of decontamination completely
fulfilled. (Annex 1).
- Please always indicate adopted safety and
decontamination measurements.
3.3.2 Discard
CAUTION
Medium handled is harmful to health.
Hazardous for people and environment!
Collect and dispose of the liquid from
the washing as well as any residual
liquids.
If necessary, use protective clothing and
mask.

4.3.4 Bearing arrangement
4.3.4.1 Pump bearings
The pump shaft runs in two plain bearings.
The bearing at the suction end is arranged in the suction
casing (106) and the bearing at the discharge end is
arranged in the discharge casing (107). Both these
bearings are lubricated by the product pumped.
4.3.4.2 Intermediate shaft bearings
(See fig. 05)
The intermediate shafts are guided by bearing spiders
(383) with built-in bearing bushes (545.3) between the
lengths of column pipe. Their construction and lubrication
corresponds to that of the pump bearings.
Fig. 05 Intermediate shaft bearing
4.3.4.2.1 Rigid Couplings for intermediate shafts
Depending on the shaft diameter, rotational speed,
switching frequency and type of driver, either rigid
screwed couplings, or split (muff) couplings are used to
connect the intermediate shafts to one another and to
transmit the driving torque.
In order to prevent the unscrewing (slackening) of
screwed couplings during reverse rotation pumping sets
fitted with such couplings must be provided with a revers e
rotation stop device.
Hollow shaft motors and hollow shaft bevel gears are
equipped with such a reverse rotation stop device.
Electric motors of V1 type series are however not so
equipped, and the direction of rotation of such motors
should therefore be checked before connection to the
shafting. It is therefore preferable to use split (muff)
couplings in conjunction with V1 type series electric
motors. The type of coupling applying to your installatio n
can be ascertained from the data sheet attached to the
Order confirmation.
See figures below for construction and arrangement.
Screwed coupling Split (muff) coupling
4.3.4.3 Thrust bearing
(See fig. 07 and 08 for construction).
The thrust bearing arranged in the motor lantern absorbs
the weight of the complete pump rotor, including the
weight of the intermediate shafts (212) and drive shaft
(213), and the radial forces which arise, it also absorbs
the residual axial thrust generated, and transmits all these
weights and forces to the motor lantern. Depending on
the values 3 different configurations are available. See
fig. 06. The bearing is oil lubricated, in the normal
execution.
Oil mist lubrication is possible, however it is special and
made up on consult.
