OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The KS pump has been designed to operate in
environments with atmospheres that are not
potentially explosive, with filtered water (see par. 9.7)
and at a maximum temperature of 40°C.
Other liquids can be used only upon formal approval
by the Engineering Department or Customer
Service Department.
7.1
Water temperature
The maximum permissible water temperature is
40°C. However, the pump can be used with water up
to a temperature of 60°C, but only for short periods.
In this case, it is best to consult the Technical or
Customer Service Departments.
7.2
Maximum pressure and flow rate
The rated specifications stated in our catalog are the
maximum that can be obtained by the pump. Independently
of the power used, the maximum pressure and rpm indicated
on the specification label can never be exceeded unless prior
formal authorization is given by our Technical or Customer
Service Departments.
7.3
Minimum operating speed
The minimum permissible speed for these types of
pumps is 100 rpm at the bend shaft, for non-continuous
periods. Any rotating speed other than that indicated in
the performance table (see chapter 5) must be expressly
formally authorized by our Technical or Customer Service
Departments.
7.4
Sound emission
The sound pressure detection test was performed according
to Directive 2000/14 of the European Parliament and Council
(Machinery Directive) and EN-ISO 3744-1995 with class 1
instrumentation.
A final detection of sound pressure must be performed on the
complete machine/system.
Should the operator be located at a distance of less than
1 meter, he will have to use appropriate hearing protection
according to current regulations.
7.5
Vibration
The detection of this value shall be carried out only with the
pump set up on the plant and at the performance declared by
the customer. Values must be in accordance with regulations.
7.6
Brands and types of oils recommended
The pump is supplied with oil suitable for room temperatures
from 0°C to 30°C.
Some types of recommended oil are indicated in the following
table, these oils have additives to increase corrosion resistance
and fatigue resistance (DIN 51517 part 2).
Alternatively you can also use Automotive Gear SAE 85W-90
oil for gearing lubrication.
