Thank you for selecting IWAKI Magnetic Drive Pump MDM Series. This instruction manual, which is divided into five sections, namely "Safety", "Outline of Product", "Installation", "Operation" and "Maintenance", deals with the correct handling and operation procedures for the pump. To make maximum use of the pump and to ensure safe and long time operation of the pump, please read this manual thoroughly and carefully prior to operating the pump.
SAFETY SECTION For the Safe and Correct Handling of the Pump • Before use of the pump, read carefully this "Safety Section" to prevent accidents and to avoid the damage or loss of other assets. • Observe and abide by the instructions described in this "Safety Section". These instruc- tions are very important for protecting pump users or other persons from hazard or from loss of assets.

Safety Section Warning • Magnet field danger The magnet drive pumps contain very strong magnets. The strong magnet field could adversely affect persons who are assisted by electronic devices such as pacemakers etc. • Always turn off power supply prior to maintenance works etc. Pay special attention so that no other operator turns on by mistake the power supply while someone is working on the pump.

Safety Section CAUTION • Attention to magnetic force This pump employs strong magnets. Special attention must be paid not to be injured by attracting force of magnets. Follow the procedure "Disassembling and Assembling" when the maintenance works are done. • Do not run pump dry Do not run pump dry (without liquid).

3. Suction piping (1) Flooded suction Flooded suction is recommended. (2) Pipe diameter Pipe diameter should be larger than pump inlet bore. (3) Shortest piping Employ less bends and shortest piping length. (4) Straight piping Employ straight pipe just before pump inlet port. Pump inlet bore 50A or smaller : Straight pipe of 500 mm or longer Pump inlet bore 65A or larger : Straight pipe of 8 times as larger than inlet port (5) Air pocket in piping...
4. Discharge piping (1) Pipe diameter In case the discharge piping is long, the specified performance may not be obtained because of unexpected pipe resistance if the pipe diameter is the same as pump bore. Calculate the pipe resistance in advance to decide proper diameter of pipe.
8. Precautions on operation CAUTION • Never operate pump dry or with suction side valve closed. • Dry running possible type (model code CF type) can continuously run dry without damage one hour. However, dry running more than one hour or repeated dry running causes quick wear of rubbing parts. •...
9. Operation (Starting) 1. Fully close discharge valve and fully open suction valve. 2. Fill liquid into pump • In case of flooded suction, confirm if suction valve is fully opened. • In case of suction lift, prime to fill liquid into suction piping. 3.

12. Maintenance & inspection Warning • Magnetic force is very strong. Pay attention when you handle the magnet capsule or driving magnet so that fingers can not be injured by attraction of magnets. • The persons who are assisted by electronic devices such as pacemakers etc. are prohibited to approach the magnet capsule and drive magnet.

1. Disassembly of pump casing (1) Remove hex. bolts (909.1) and drain plate (122.1) to drain liquid inside. For the type without drain, disassemble the pump after the liquid inside is neutralized or the pump is cleaned by water. Warning If all the hex.

(3) Remove impeller fixing pin (942) of upper part of magnet capsule by pushing it by screw driver or like. (Ask IWAKI for removing impeller of PFA material type.) (4) Remove impeller (230) from magnet capsule (859). If it is hard to remove, slightly strike the impeller back side with plastic hammer.

4. Replacement of spindle (1) Spindle (210) is slightly pressed into rear casing (158). Pull out the spindle by a hand. If it is hard to pull it out, pull it out by shaking it right and left. (2) Wipe off the stain at spindle inserted part of rear casing and insert the spindle.
