Thank you for selecting an Iwaki SMX-F Series Self-priming Magnetic Drive Pump. This instruction manual deals with "Safety instructions", "Outline", "Installation", "Operation" and "Maintenance" sections. Please read through this manual carefully to ensure the optimum performance, safety and service of your pump.
Important instructions For the Safe and Correct Handling of the Pump "Safety Instruction" section deals with important details about handling of the product. Before use, read this section carefully for the prevention of personal injury or property damage. Observe the instructions accompanied with "WARNING" or "CAUTION" in this manual. These instructions are very important for protecting users from dangerous situations.
Safety instructions WARNING Access limitation The magnet drive pump has a pair of strong magnets. A strong magnet field could adversely affect the persons who are assisted by electronic Prohibited devices such as the pacemaker. Turn off power before work Be sure to turn off the power before starting maintenance/repair work.

Safety instructions CAUTION Attention to magnetic force A pair of strong magnets is mounted in the pump and its magnetic force may affect magnetic disks/cards or wrist watches. Do not bring them close to the pump. Prohibited Restriction on pump operator The pump must be handled or operated by a qualified person with a full understanding of the pump.

Safety instructions CAUTION Do not stand on the pump Do not use the pump as a platform. Injury or damage may result when the pump turns over. Prohibited Do not touch the pump or a pipe Hot surface temperature. Do not touch the pump or a pipe with bare hands dur- ing or right after hot liquid transfer.

Installation 1. Before installation Precautions for electrical wiring and pipework CAUTION Do not drop, hit or drag the pump during carrying in or installation. Caution Poisoning may result when handling an odorous or a harmful liquid. Keep good ventilation in a work area. The front case, rear case and base are plastics.
Installation 3. Installation Check if installation doesn't adversely affect facility, surrounding equipment and the pump. Install the pump according to the following instructions to ensure the optimum performance, safety and service. If the pump unit is not anchored to the foundation and if the motor unit is heavier than the pump unit, the entire pump leans towards to the motor.
Installation 4. Pipework Foreign matters such as sand and scale may enter pipework while you are working. They may cause fatal damage to the pump. Be sure to blow them out before operation. Also, do not apply adhesive too much or leave a screw or nut. If pipework directory weighs on the pump, plastic parts may be deformed.

Installation 6. Do not make an arched line in order to prevent air from being trapped. A suction line right before the pump inlet should be laid on a rising gradient of 1/100 toward the pump. 1. A discharge pipe bore is related to pipe resistance Pipe resistance rises too high to obtain an intended flow if a discharge pipe bore is too narrow.

Installation (This table is based on use of metal pipe flanges with rubber gaskets.) Bolt size Try not to apply a heavy load to the inlet and outlet flanges. Permissible piping weight and moment to the pump are as below. Permissible stress to outlet flange Permissible stress to inlet flange Pipe dia.
Installation 5. Wiring 1. Electrical wiring and any work on power source must be performed by qualified persons only. We are not responsi- ble for any injury and damage due to noncompliance with this notice. Contact us as necessary. 2. Install an electromagnetic switch according to motor specifications (voltage, capacity, etc.). 3.
Operation 1. Operational precautions CAUTION shut off a suction valve during operation. This may damage internal parts. Prohibit . An abnor- mal sound of water flowing through a pipe or a significant pressure change (see a pressure gauge) is a sign of cavitation. Also do not continue to run the pump when air is sucked from a suction line.
Operation WARNING Do not remodel the pump A remodelled pump will not be warranted. Also, we are not responsible for personal injury or property damage due to any modification. Prohibit CAUTION Be sure to prime the pump before operation Always prime the pump when the pump is empty, for example, the pump is used for the first time or after dismantlement/assembly.

Operation 3. ON-OFF operation Frequent ON-OFF operation damages the pump, especially in self-priming operation. Do not make ON-OFF opera- tion more than six times per hour. 4. Handled liquid - Observe the next points 1. Slurry :Slurry can not be handled. 3.
Operation 3. Preparation 1. Check the pump and pipework before operation. a. Check there are no foreign matters in the supply tank and pipework. If foreign matters are stuck in a suction line, the pump may break. Do not leave any waste of bond, sealing materials and screws/nuts as well. b.
Operation 4. Operation Operate the pump by the following procedure. Operation Procedure Remarks Close or open valves. Open suction valves fully. Close a discharge valve fully (in a flooded suction system). Open discharge valves fully (in a suction lift system). Prime the pump.

Operation Remarks Operation Procedure < Points to be checked> Use a flow meter to see if the pump runs at a specified point. If a flow meter is not available, check a specified point from discharge pres- Check a flow meter and con- sure, suction pressure and current value, taking account of pipe resistance.

Always check for leakage before pump operation. Do not run the pump when liquid leaks. CAUTION The pump unit mounting bolts/nuts may loosen in the initial operation phase or under an operating condition where the temperature fluctuates greatly.
Page 32
Maintenance To ensure efficient and smooth operation, perform periodic inspection. Be careful not to damage internal sliding parts and plastic parts when dismantling the pump. The magnetic force of a drive and a driven magnet is strong. Be careful not to catch the finger. Do not put electrical devices such as a watch and a mag card close to those magnets.
