GENERAL INFORMATION & SAFETY REQUIREMENTS The products supplied by KBL have been designed with safety in mind. Where hazards cannot be eliminated, the risk has been minimised by the use of guards and other design features. Some hazards cannot be guarded against and the instructions below MUST BE COMPLIED WITH for safe operation.
Page 20
Do not place fingers or hands etc. into the suction or discharge pipe outlets and do not touch the impeller, if rotated this may cause severe injury. To prevent ingress of any objects, retain the protection covers or packaging in place until removal is necessary for installation.
Page 21
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHILE MAINTENANCE & SERVICING Before attempting any maintenance on a pump particularly if it has been handling any form of hazardous liquid, it should be ensured that the unit is safe to work on. The pump must be flushed thoroughly with suitable cleaner to purge away any of the product left in the pump components.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF KIRLOSKAR CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS WARNING The equipment supplied is designed for specific capacity, speed, pressure and temperature. Do not use the equipment beyond the capacities for which it is manufactured. The equipment manufactured is also shop tested for the satisfactory performance and if it is operated is excess of the conditions for which it is manufactured, the equipment will be subject to excessive stresses and strains.

FOOT VALVE It is advisable to install a foot valve to facilitate priming. The foot valve should have sufficient clear passage for water. Care must be taken to prevent foreign matter from being drawn into the pump or choking the foot valve and for this purpose an efficient strainer should be provided. STUFFING BOXES AND PACKING Stuffing boxes should be carefully cleaned and the packing placed in them.
Page 26
PUMP TROUBLE When investigating trouble with Kirloskar pumps, always remember that pumps have been tested at the factory and are mechanically correct when sent out. Discounting the possibility of damage during transit, most of the trouble in the field is due to faulty installation.
Page 27
CHECK POINTS 1. Suction pipe, foot valve choked. 29. Packing not suitable for operating conditions. 2. Nominal diameter of suction line too small. 30. Shaft sleeve worn in the region of the packing. 3. Suction pipe not sufficiently submerged. 31. Bearing worn out. 4.
