Do not use the pump for transferring Slurry liquid slurry liquid or liquid which begins to crystallize when stationary. Do not splash water on the motor. This may cause an electric leak or burning. Do not cover the motor unit tightly with a cover, etc.
⑥ Installation, Piping and Wiring Installation ■ Choose a place which has an ambient temperature below 40°C and a relative humidity less than 85%, and is convenient for maintenance and checking. The pump must not be installed outdoors without suitable protection. Flooded suction To prevent dry running, install the pump in a position lower than the surface of the liquid in the tank on the suction side (Flooded suction).

For fixing the pump, use M6 small screw. In the event floor on which the pump is installed is resonant and causes a loud noise, fix the pump with rubber mountings. Piping ■ In order to reduce the friction resistance of liquid, the piping should be as short and with as few bends as possible.
⑦ Operation Notes on Operation ■ Dry running is strictly prohibited. This will damage the inside of the pump. The pump should not be operated with closed valves. If this happens, the bearing will abnormally worn away. In case liquid which solidifies or causes precipitation is handled, the pump should be flushed clean when it is out of operation.
