1 General 1.5 Key to safety symbols/markings Table 3: Definition of safety symbols/markings Symbol Description DANGER DANGER This signal word indicates a high-risk hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING WARNING This signal word indicates a medium-risk hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
2 Safety 2 Safety All the information contained in this section refers to hazardous situations. DANGER In addition to the present general safety information the action-related safety information given in the other sections must be observed. 2.1 General This operating manual contains general installation, dismantling, operating and maintenance instructions that must be observed to ensure safe handling and prevent personal injury and damage to property.
2 Safety 2.5 Safety awareness In addition to the safety information contained in this manual and the intended use, the following safety regulations shall be complied with: ▪ Accident prevention, health regulations and safety regulations ▪ Explosion protection regulations ▪ Safety regulations for handling hazardous substances ▪...
1. On transfer of goods, check each packaging unit for damage. 2. In the event of in-transit damage, assess the exact damage, document it and notify KSB or the supplying dealer and the insurer about the damage in writing immediately.
4. Always complete and enclose a certificate of decontamination when returning the mechanical seal. Always indicate any safety measures and decontamination measures taken. NOTE If required, a blank certificate of decontamination can be downloaded from the following web site: www.ksb.com/certificate_of_decontamination 4K / 4KD 9 of 32...

Prior to every flushing procedure, the gap between the rotating shaft sleeve and the thrust ring must be visually inspected. Any leakage or leakage residues / crystals must be reported to the responsible KSB service centre immediately. 4K / 4KD...
5 Installation/Dismantling 5 Installation/Dismantling 5.1 Permissible aids ▪ Lubricants – Permanent lubricants, such as non-mineral grease (Klüber Asonic HQ 72-102) are used for elastomers that do not serve to transmit the torque. Examples are mating rings with an anti-twist lock or primary rings that move axially relative to the pump components.
▷ Use soft soap to reduce any friction caused during assembly. ▷ Never coat the mechanical seal faces with grease or oil. Example of an installation sequence for KSB pumps ü The operating manual for the pump is on hand.

5 Installation/Dismantling 10. For bearing brackets P08sx, P10ax, P12sx (sizes 80, 100, 120): Fit two parallel pins 562 into the mating ring location of shaft sleeve 523. 11. Insert O-ring 412.52 for mating ring 475.52 into shaft sleeve 523. 12. Carefully press in mating ring 475.52. ð...
For dismantling and reassembly observe the general assembly drawing. (ð Section 9.1, Page 23) Example of a dismantling sequence for KSB pumps ü The operating manual for the pump is on hand. ü The mechanical seal is accessible. ü The back pull-out unit of the pump has been placed in a clean and level assembly area.
5 Installation/Dismantling Dismantling steps for a double mechanical seal 1. Separate the pipes of the barrier/buffer fluid supply system from seal cover 471.01. 2. Undo the hexagon head bolts at the bearing bracket lantern. 3. Position the spacer so as to support shaft sleeve 523. 4.
If the values during operation are not within the specified limits, the mechanical seal must be removed from the system and sent to KSB for inspection. 6.2 Emissions ▪...
6 Operation NOTE Any leakage must be drained off in a controlled way and safely disposed of. Components which may come into contact with the seal leakage must either be corrosion resistant or must be adequately protected. WARNING Incorrect handling of the fluid to be sealed off Risk of injury! ▷...
▪ When a system maintenance inspection is conducted, the mechanical seal should also be inspected. The seal faces should be reworked and all elastomer joint rings and springs should be replaced by new ones. KSB is available for inspecting the mechanical seal.
NOTE Prior to conducting any work on the mechanical seal during the warranty period contact the manufacturer. KSB Service will be pleased to help you. Non-compliance with this instruction will lead to forfeiture of any and all rights to claims for damages.
