(to prevent overheating, bearing damage, etc).
!DANGER
2 Safety
Filtra N 7 of 34
▪Observe the maximum flow rates indicated in the data sheet or product
literature (to prevent overheating, mechanical seal damage, cavitation damage,
bearing damage, etc).
▪Do not throttle the flow rate on the suction side of the pump (to prevent
cavitation damage).
▪Consult the manufacturer about any use or mode of operation not described in
the data sheet or product literature.
Prevention of foreseeable misuse
▪Never open discharge-side shut-off elements further than permitted.
– The maximum flow rate specified in the data sheet or product literature
would be exceeded.
–Risk of cavitation damage
▪Never exceed the permissible operating limits specified in the data sheet or
product literature regarding pressure, temperature, etc.
▪Observe all safety information and instructions in this manual.
2.4 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved must be fully qualified to transport, install, operate, maintain
and inspect the machinery this manual refers to.
The responsibilities, competence and supervision of all personnel involved in
transport, installation, operation, maintenance and inspection must be clearly
defined by the operator.

provided by sufficiently trained specialist personnel. If required, the operator can
commission the manufacturer/supplier to train the personnel.
Training on the pump (set) must always be supervised by technical specialist
personnel.
2.5 Consequences and risks caused by non-compliance with these operating
instructions
▪Non-compliance with these operating instructions will lead to forfeiture of
warranty cover and of any and all rights to claims for damages.
▪Non-compliance can, for example, have the following consequences:
– Hazards to persons due to electrical, thermal, mechanical and chemical
effects and explosions
–Failure of important product functions
– Failure of prescribed maintenance and servicing practices

3 Transport/Temporary Storage/Disposal
3.1 Checking the condition upon delivery
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 (as applicable) and the insurer about the
damage in writing immediately.
3.2 Transport
CAUTION
Improper pump transport
Damage to the pump!
▷Never suspend the pump/pump set from the power cable.
▷Prevent the pump (set) from getting knocked or dropped.
3.3 Storage/Preservation
CAUTION
Damage during storage by frost, humidity, dirt, UV radiation or vermin
Corrosion/contamination of the pump!
▷Store the pump (set) in a dry, dark, frost-proof room not exposed to sunlight
where the atmospheric humidity is as constant as possible.
Store the pump (set) in a dry, dark, frost-proof room not exposed to sunlight. Under
these conditions it does not need additional preservation.
3.4 Return to supplier
1. Drain the pump as per operating instructions.(⇨ Section 7.4 Page 26)
2. Always flush and clean the pump, particularly if it has been used for handling
noxious, explosive, hot or other hazardous fluids.
3. If the fluids handled by the pump set leave residues which might lead to
corrosion damage when coming into contact with atmospheric humidity, or
which might ignite when coming into contact with oxygen, the pump set must
also be neutralised, and anhydrous inert gas must be blown through the pump
for drying purposes.
4. Always complete and enclose a certificate of decontamination when returning
the pump (set).
Always indicate any safety and decontamination measures taken.(⇨ Section 11
Page 31)
