OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
KFG and WK pumps have 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 Technical or Customer Service Departments.
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 catalogue are the max.
that can be obtained by the pump. Independently of the
power used, the maximum pressure and rpm indicated in the
specification label can never be exceeded unless upon prior
formal authorisation by our Technical or Customer Service
Departments.
7.3
Minimum rotating speed
Any rotating speed other than that indicated in the
performance table (see chapter 5) must be expressly
formally authorised 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
metre, 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.
