2.2 General
This manual contains general installation, operating and maintenance instructions
that must be observed to ensure safe pump operation and prevent personal injury
and damage to property.
The safety information in all sections of this manual must be complied with.
This manual must be read and completely understood by the specialist personnel/
operators responsible prior to installation and commissioning.
The contents of this manual must be available to the specialist personnel at the site
at all times.
Information attached directly to the pump must always be complied with and be
kept in a perfectly legible condition at all times. This applies to, for example:
▪Arrow indicating the direction of rotation
▪Markings for connections
▪Name plate
The operator is responsible for ensuring compliance with all local regulations not
taken into account in this manual.
2.3 Intended use
The pump (set) must only be operated within the operating limits described in the
other applicable documents.
▪Only operate pump sets which are in perfect technical condition.
▪Do not operate partially assembled pump sets.
▪Only use the pump set to handle the fluids described in the data sheet or product
literature of the pump model.
!DANGER
2 Safety
8 of 60 Amarex KRT

▪Never operate the pump set without the fluid to be handled.
▪Observe the limits for continuous operation specified in the data sheet or
product literature (Qmin2) and Qmax3)) (to prevent damage such as shaft fracture,
bearing failure, mechanical seal damage, etc).
▪When untreated waste water is handled the duty points in continuous operation
lie within 0.7 to 1.2 x Qopt4) to minimise the risk of clogging/hardening.
▪Avoid duty points for continuous operation at very low speeds and small flow
rates (<0.7 x Qopt4)).
▪Observe the maximum flow rates indicated in the data sheet or product
literature (to prevent overheating, mechanical seal damage, cavitation damage,
bearing damage, etc).
▪Do not throttle the flow rate on the suction side of the pump set (to prevent
cavitation damage).
▪Consult the manufacturer about any use or mode of operation not described in
the data sheet or product literature.
▪Only use the respective impeller types in combination with the fluids indicated in
the table below.
Table 4: Applications of impeller types
Impeller type Suitable for the following fluids
Free-flow impeller
(impeller type F)
Fluids containing solids and stringy material

Prevention of foreseeable misuse
▪Observe the minimum flow velocities required to fully open the swing check
valves to prevent the reduction of pressure and risk of clogging.
(Contact the manufacturer for the required minimum flow velocities/loss
coefficients.)
▪Never exceed the permissible operating limits specified in the data sheet and in
the product literature regarding pressure, temperature, etc.

2.4 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved must be fully qualified to transport, install, operate, maintain
and inspect the machinery this manual refers to.
The responsibilities, competence and supervision of all personnel involved in
transport, installation, operation, maintenance and inspection must be clearly
defined by the operator.
Deficits in knowledge must be rectified by means of training and instruction
provided by sufficiently trained specialist personnel. If required, the operator can
commission the manufacturer/supplier to train the personnel.
Training on the pump (set) must always be supervised by technical specialist
personnel.
2.5 Consequences and risks caused by non-compliance with these operating
instructions
▪Non-compliance with these operating instructions will lead to forfeiture of
warranty cover and of any and all rights to claims for damages.
▪Non-compliance can, for example, have the following consequences:
–Hazards to persons due to electrical, thermal, mechanical and chemical
effects and explosions
– Failure of important product functions
– Failure of prescribed maintenance and servicing practices

9 Bearing, pump-end 10 Bearing, motor-end
The pump is designed with an axial fluid inlet and a radial outlet. The hydraulic
system sits on the extended motor shaft. The shaft runs in common bearings.
The fluid enters the pump axially via a suction nozzle (6) and is accelerated outward
in a cylindrical flow by the rotating impeller (7). In the flow passage of the pump
casing the kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into pressure energy. The fluid is
pumped to the discharge nozzle (2), where it leaves the pump. The suction cover (1)
prevents any fluid from flowing back from the casing into the inlet. At the rear side
of the impeller, the shaft (4) enters the hydraulic system through the pump casing
(3). The shaft passage through the pump casing is sealed towards the atmosphere
with a shaft seal (8). The shaft runs in rolling element bearings (9 and 10), which are
supported by a bearing bracket (5) connected to the pump casing.
The pump is sealed by two bi-rotational mechanical seals in tandem arrangement.
A lubricant reservoir in-between the seals ensures cooling and lubrication of the
mechanical seals.

5 Installation at Site
5.1 Safety regulations
DANGER
Improper installation in potentially explosive atmospheres
Explosion hazard!
Damage to the pump set!
▷Comply with the applicable local explosion protection regulations.
▷Observe the information given in the data sheet and on the name plate of the
pump set.
DANGER

Electric shock!
▷Never start up the pump set when there are persons in the tank.
WARNING
Impermissible solid objects (tools, screws/bolts or similar) in the pump sump/inlet
tank during pump start-up
Personal injury and damage to property!
▷Check the pump sump/inlet tank for impermissible solid objects before
flooding, and remove, if necessary.
5.2 Checks to be carried out prior to installation
5.2.1 Checking the operating data
Before installing the pump set, verify that the name plate data matches the data
given in the purchase order and the site system data.
5.2.2 Preparing the place of installation
Place of installation for stationary models
WARNING
Installation on mounting surfaces which are unsecured and cannot support the load
Personal injury or damage to property!
▷Use a concrete of compressive strength class C12/15 which meets the
requirements of exposure class XC1 to EN 206-1.
▷The mounting surface must have set and must be completely horizontal and
even.
▷Refer to the weights indicated.
Any resonances at the usual excitation frequencies (1x and 2x rotational frequency,
rotational noise) must be prevented both in the foundation and in the connected
piping, as such frequencies may cause extreme vibrations.

WARNING
Incorrect positioning
Personal injury and damage to property!
▷Set the pump set down in a vertical position with the motor on top.
▷Use appropriate means to secure the pump set against overturning and tipping
over.
▷Refer to the weights given in the data sheet/on the name plate.
Any resonances at the usual excitation frequencies (1x and 2x rotational frequency,
rotational noise) must be prevented both in the foundation and in the connected
piping, as such frequencies may cause extreme vibrations.
1. Check the structural requirements.
All structural work required must have been prepared in accordance with the
dimensions stated in the outline drawing/general arrangement drawing.
