7.5 Reassembling the pump set
7.5.1 General information/Safety regulations
DANGER
Wrong selection of motor
Explosion hazard!
▷ Use an original motor or a motor of identical design from the same
manufacturer.
▷ The permissible temperature limits at the motor flange and motor shaft must
be higher than the temperatures generated by the pump. (Contact KSB for
temperatures).
WARNING
Improper lifting/moving of heavy assemblies or components
Personal injury and damage to property!
▷ Use suitable transport devices, lifting equipment and lifting tackle to move
heavy assemblies or components.
CAUTION
Improper reassembly
Damage to the pump!
▷ Reassemble the pump (set) in accordance with the general rules of sound
engineering practice.
▷ Use original spare parts only.
Sequence Always re-assemble the pump in accordance with the corresponding general
assembly drawing or exploded view.
Sealing elements Check O-rings for any damage and replace by new O-rings, if required.
Always use new gaskets. Make sure that new gaskets have the same thickness as the
old ones.
Always fit gaskets of asbestos-free materials or graphite without using lubricants
(e.g. copper grease, graphite paste).
Assembly adhesives Avoid the use of assembly adhesives, if possible.
Should an assembly adhesive be required after all, use a commercially available
contact adhesive (e.g. Pattex) or sealant (e.g. HYLOMAR or Epple33).
Only apply adhesive at selected points and in thin layers.
Never use quick-setting adhesives (cyanoacrylate adhesives).
Coat the locating surfaces of the individual components with graphite or similar
before reassembly.
Tightening torques For reassembly, tighten all screws and bolts as specified in this manual.
