Safety Section WARNING ● Damaged or deteriorated tools are very dangerous. Use qualified and suitable tools only. Caution ● Use of protectors: When disassembling, assembling, and conducting maintenance or when handling a dangerous type of liquid or a liquid of unknown property, be sure to wear safety gloves, a helmet, and protective shoes.
Page 5
Safety Section WARNING ● Do not allow toxic substances such as lubricants, solvents, or similar sub- stances to flow into the local sewage system or river systems. Do not drain hazardous liquids such as chemical solutions discharged out of the pump directly onto the ground.
Page 6
Safety Section CAUTION ● Ventilate! Poisoning may result during an operation which involves toxic or odorous liquid. Ventilate the operating site sufficiently. Caution ● Spill-out prevention measures Appropriate protective measures should be taken against any spill-out accidents involving the operating liquid as a result of unexpected damage to the pump or the piping.

(Refer to the "Maintenance" Section.) Motor nameplate Use only the power voltage specified on the nameplate.
1. Handling Instructions (Observe all the following instructions to prevent injuries and accidents.) Warning ● When the pumps are used to transfer the dangerous liquids mentioned as below, the pumps always must be checked and watched so that the liquids can not be leaked. The operation of the pumps leaking the liquids may result in personal injury and/or explosion, fire accidents.
Page 19
Keep the pump away from fire To prevent fire and explosions, do not place dangerous or inflammable substances near the pump. If pump is damaged Do not operate a damaged pump, otherwise there may be electricity leakage or electric shocks. No remodeling Never try to remodel the pump.

[11] Influence of specific gravity and viscosity of liquid on pump performance If the specific gravity or viscosity of the liquid is higher than that of pure water, the shaft power, discharge volume, and pump head may vary somewhat. The delivered pump has been prepared to meet the specifications ordered by the user.
Page 21
[16] Operation within range of drooping head capacity curve In the case of a pump which generates a drooping head capacity curve in a low-capacity range, do not operate the pump in the section where the line droops to the left. (Refer to the standard performance curve to verify the head capacity.) If the drooping section (left side) of the head capacity curve is part of the pump operation specifications, design the piping with the following points in mind.
2. Installation Installation position • I nstall the pump as close to the suction tank as possible and in the lowest position available (for flooded suc- tion). • I f the suction port of the pump is to be positioned higher than the suction tank (for suction lift), be sure to arrange for a foot valve in the priming pipe and suction pipe. * The lift head depends upon the liquid properties, temperature, and length of the suction piping. For details of the setup, consult Iwaki or your dealer.

Page 24
■ Suction piping The suction pipe should employ the flooded suction method if possible. The shortest and thickest pipe possible, with the minimum number of bends, should be used. Arrange a proper support under the suction pipe such as an expansion joint or the like so that the weight and thermal stress of the pipe are not applied to the pump. Attach the coupling on the suction pipe carefully so as not to allow air inside the line.
Page 25
If the diameters of the pump suction port and the suction pipe are different, use an eccentric reducer pipe. Connect the eccentric reducer pipe so that the upper surface is level. In any case, never use a suction pipe with a diameter smaller than that of the suction port.
Page 26
It is recommended that a gate valve be installed on the discharge pipe for the adjustment of discharge volume and for the prevention of overload onto the motor. When installing both a check valve and a gate valve, the check valve should be positioned between the pump and the gate valve. Do not fail to install a pressure gauge on the discharge piping.

5. Operation Step ■ Operation instructions Never operate the pump dry or with the suction-side valve (gate valve) closed. Otherwise, the inside of the pump will be damaged. In the event of cavitation, stop the pump within a minute. In addition, do not continue pump operation with air mixed into the suction side. If the magnet coupling disconnects, stop the pump within a minute.

■ Operating Procedures Operate the pump in accordance with the following procedures. Check and operation procedure Remarks • Open/close the valves. • Suction valve: Open fully • Discharge valve: Closed fully • Prime the pump. • C heck to ensure that the pump is filled with liquid. (The pump must be filled with liquid before operation.) Make sure to discharge air from inside of the pump through air-bleeding piping.
Page 31
■ Stoppage Check/Operation Step Remarks Close discharge valve gradually. Do not cause sudden closure with solenoid valve, • • etc., otherwise pump may be destroyed by water hammer action which is likely in case of long dis- charge piping. Turn off the power and stop pump operation. Observe carefully whether the motor fan slowly and •...

When inspection, overhauling, or repair work is necessary, stop the pump operation and contact the supplier. The overhauling and repair work for Iwaki pumps must be performed by qualified personnel who have been trained and certified by the pump supplier. User's failure to observe this instruction exempts Iwaki from the responsibility for personal injury or damage to the equipment or facility which result from its misuse.
