4.5.1 Coupling
RDL pumps can be equipped with standard coupling type KSB, or from other manufacturers. KSB standard couplings do not
require maintenance, only periodical inspection (every 30 days) of elastic component condition and replacement, if necessary.
Elastic component cannot be exposed to oil or grease contact. For maintenance of other coupling type, see manufacturer
instruction.
4.5.2 Baseplate
KSB standard is a structural welded baseplate. Common baseplate for pump and driver for sizes up to 500-890 and separated
one for the pump, for bigger sizes.

4.5.3 Coupling guard
For a safety operation a coupling guard should be installed. Made according to KSB standards, of steel or brass. Installed on
the transversal beam in case of common baseplate (see fig. 9) or on the foundation floor (see fig. 10).
Coupling guard does not touch the rotating elements.
5. Installation at site
Our pumps should be installed, leveled and aligned by trained personnel. If this work is done incorrectly it may cause
operational problems, premature wear and damage beyond repair.
5.1 Safety regulations
Equipment operated in hazardous locations must comply with the relevant explosion protection regulations. This is
indicated on the pump name plate and motor name plate (see 2.9).
5.2 Checks to be carried out prior to installation
All structural work required must have been prepared in accordance with the dimensions stated in the dimension ta-
ble / G.A. drawing.
The concrete foundations shall have sufficient strength (min. BN 150) to ensure safe and functional installation in
accordance with DIN 1045 or equivalent standards.
Make sure that the concrete foundation has set firmly before placing the unit on it. Its surface shall be truly horizontal and even.
The foundation bolts shall be inserted in the baseplate holes.
