Application - Kessel KTP 300 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

The KESSEL submersible pumps KTP 300,
500 and 1000 were originally developed as
mobile / movable pumps. This pump is ideal
for dewatering excavations or trenches.
With the multiple applications for which the
pump can be used, it also is ideal for priva-
te use.
The KESSEL submersible pumps KTP 300,
500 1000 can pump out of wells with a mini-
mum diameter of 200mm as well as being
used in nearby streams or bodies of water
for garden and plant watering. Swimming
pools, ponds, excavations and the like can
be easily pumped out by these pumps which
offer vertical and lateral connections. The
KESSEL submersible pumps KTP 300, 500
1000 should be placed at the lowest point of
the area being pumped out where they can
sit firmly so that they will not tilt or rock.

Special KTP 300 Characteristics:
The base / suction basket of the KTP 300
can be removed as to allow a very low
suction height of 8mm (float switch can be
fixed in the 'ON' position to allow the pump
to operate in low water levels).
*Unplug the KTP 300 before remo-
ving the base / suction basket. Be
careful when operating the KTP
300 without the base / suction
basket as the rotating impeller is
now exposed.
During mobile use the of the KTP 300, the
supplied non-return flap does not need to be
used – this will allow the outlet pipe or hose

connected to the KTP 300 to drain free when
the pump is not operating.
Installation of non-return flap
During fixed use of the KTP 300 (as a per-
manently connected pump or lifting station)
it is recommended that the non-return flap is
used.
Removal/Installation of the non-return flap
Unscrew and remove the KTP 300 outlet, re-
move the non-return flap / if installing the
non-return flap make sure that the flap
opens upward. Re-install the outlet device
with O-ring with the two screws.
