8. PORTS AND CONNECTIONS
KFM Series pumps (see fig. 4) are provided with:
1. 2 inlet ports “IN”, 1-1/2”NPT.
The line can be connected to either of the two inlet
ports: the one not being used must be hermetically
sealed.
2. 2 outlet ports “OUT”, 1: NPT.
3. 3 auxiliary ports, 1/2” NPT, used for the pressure
gauge only.
Replace the oil cap (red), located on the rear
crankcase cover, with the oil dipstick and
check oil level. The oil dipstick must always be
accessible, even when the unit is assembled.
The pump’s shaft (PTO) must not be rigidly
connected to the motor unit. The following
transmission types are suggested:
• Hydraulic by means of a flange; for correct appli
cation, please contact the Customer Service
Department
• V-belts
• Cardan joint (please respect the maximum
working angles indicated by the Manufacturers)
• Flexible joint
9. PUMP INSTALLATION
9.1 Installation
The pump must be installed in a horizontal position using
the correct threaded feet M 16x1.5, fasten the screws with
a torque value of 155 ft. lbs. (210 Nm). The base must be
perfectly flat and sufficiently rigid in order to avoid bending
and misalignments on the pump/transmission coupling axis
due to the torque applied during operation. The unit must
not be rigidly fixed to the pavement, but requires the use of
anti-vibration elements. For special applications, please
contact the Customer Service Department.
The pump is equipped with a lifting eyebolt to facilitate
installation, as shown in the following figure.
In case of disassembly, to avoid letting dirt inside the front
part of the crankcase, close the threaded hole with the sup-
plied cap.
9.2 Direction of rotation
An arrow situated on the crankcase near the shaft indi-
cates the correct direction of rotation. Standing in front of
the pump head, the direction of rotation must be as shown
in fig. 5.
