2.1 General description of the pump
The miniature centrifugal pump operate according
to the bypass duct principle, with self-priming
function following the initial priming.
Pump and motor form a complete unit. The impeller
is fixed on the driving shaft extension. The shaft
sealing is effected with a rotary shaft seal in stand-
ard versions and a rotary mechanical seal in special
versions -UO12. The sealing for the case is effect-
ed with a gasket and O-ring.
The pump is to be protected against coarse parti-
cles.
The KC pumps are mounted next to or on top of the
tank. The pumps are foot mounted and must be
screwed down in order to ensure a secure stance.

sary knowledge, they must be trained and instruct-
ed, which may be performed by the machine manu-
facturer or supplier on behalf of the plant operator.
Moreover, the plant operator is to make sure that
the contents of the operating manual are fully
understood by the personnel.
3.5 Safety instructions relevant for opera-
tion
•If hot or cold machine components involve
hazards, they must be guarded against acci-
dental contact.
•Guards for moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not
be removed from the machine while in opera-
tion.
•Any leakage of hazardous (e.g. explosive, toxic,
hot) fluids (e.g. from the shaft seal) must be
drained away so as to prevent any risk to per-
sons or the environment. Statutory regulations
are to be complied with.
•Hazards resulting from electricity are to be
prevented (see for example, the VDE Specifica-
tions and the bye-laws of the local power supply
utilities).
•The pumps are only secured safely if properly
attached to the floor or top of the tank.
3.6 Safety instructions relevant for mainte-
nance, inspection and assembly work
Any work on the machine shall only be performed
when it is at a standstill, it being imperative that the
procedure for shutting down the machine described
