Safety instructions CAUTION ● Attention to magnetic force A pair of strong magnets is mounted in the pump and may cause personal injury. Follow "Disassembly & Assembly" section when dismantling and/or assembling the pump. ● Do not run pump dry Do not run pump dry (Operation without liquid).
Outline On unpacking the product, check the following 1. Unpacking & Inspection points. If you find any problems, contact your nearest dealer. 1. Check the information on nameplate and con- firm the product is delivered as per order. 2. Check for transit damage, deformation, and loose bolts.
Outline 3. Operating conditions 1. Permissible pressure Pump permissible pressure is 1.0MPa. Do not allow the pump discharge pressure to exceed the limit. 2. Slurry liquid Slurry liquid can not be used except for the KK type of SiC bearing. The KK type can handle slurry in the fol- lowing conditions: •...

Installation location • The pump should be installed on a flat foundation where is free from vibration or torsional force. •...
Installation 2. Piping ■ Tightening torque between discharge/ suction ports and pipes Connections between the pipes and the pump ports should be tightened according to the table below. Tightening torque (RV) Bolt size Tightening torque 78.4 N•m ■ Piping load and momentum The permissible piping weight and moment to the pump are as below.

Installation ■ Suction piping 1. Flooded suction system Always realize the flooded suction system. 2. Suction piping bore A suction piping bore should be equal to or larger than pump inlet. 3. Shortest piping length Have piping shortest with the minimum number of bends. 4.
Page 15
Installation ■ Discharge piping 1. Discharge piping bore When the discharge piping is long but the piping bore is equal to the pump outlet bore, the specified performance may not be obtained because pipe resistance becomes high. Calculate pipe resistance in advance to decide a discharge piping bore.
Installation 3. Wiring Electrical works or wiring must be carried out by a qualified person according to local laws or regulations. • Use the electromagnetic switch which conforms to the motor specifications of voltage and capacity etc. • When installing the pump out of doors, take a measure to prevent rain water from getting into the switch when wiring.
Operation 1. Before operation CAUTION ● Never run pump dry or shut off a suction valve during operation. Otherwise the pump fails in a short period. ● Check the rotational direction of the pump. Clockwise seen from the motor end is a correct direction.
Operation 2. Operation 1. Fully close a discharge valve and fully open a suction valve. 2. Prime the pump. • If the pump is in flooded suction system, fully open both discharge and suction valves. • If the pump is other than flooded suction system, prime the suction piping as well as the pump. 3.

Maintenance ■ Wear limits of bearing and spindle Bearing inner diameter Spindle outer diameter Model Before use Wear limit Before use Wear limit AMP40-1, AMP50-1 1. The values on the table shows wear limit at each part. 2. If the clearance between the inner diameter of the bearing and the outer diameter of the spindle exceeds 1 mm, either the bearing or spindle, whichever has greater wear, should be replaced regardless of the wear limit.
Maintenance 3. Disassembly & Assembly WARNING ● Pay attention to magnet field The magnet drive pump has a pair of strong magnets. The strong magnet field could adversely affect the persons who are assisted by electronic devices such as the pacemaker. Prohibited ●...

Maintenance ■ Pump casing disassembly 1. Remove the hex. bolts (901.1) and drain plate (122.1) to drain liquid out of the pump unit. For the pump model without drain, neutralize the liquid or flush the pump unit out. And then remove liquid by dismantling the pump or pipework.
Page 27
Maintenance 7. Remove the rear casing cover (159) from the rear cas- ing (158). Be careful not to drop the impeller (230)/ magnet capsule (859) unit from the rear casing. When the rear casing can not be removed from the rear casing support, hit the bottom of the rear casing to detach it.
Page 28
Maintenance 4. Push off the pin (942) by the screw driver. 5. Remove the impeller (230) from the magnet capsule (859). If the impeller can not be removed, hit the impeller back lightly with the plastic hammer. ■ Mouth ring replacement 1.
Page 29
Maintenance ■ Spindle replacement 1. The spindle (210) is slightly pressed into the rear cas- ing (158). Pull the spindle out by the hand. Warm the rear casing in hot water if the spindle can not be pulled out. Then pull the spindle out by lightly moving it from side to side and up and down.

Maintenance ■ Assembly Assembly can be made in reverse procedures to disman- tlement. Pay attention to the following points. Gasket replacement Always replace the gasket with new one every time the pump unit is assembled. Do not twist or catch the gasket in the parts.
Page 32
Maintenance Always stock spare parts, especially wear parts, for a long period of continuous operation. Contact us with the following items when placing an order for spare parts. 1. Part name and part number (See the exploded view.) 2. Model code and MFG.No (See the nameplate) 3.
