Safety instruction CAUTION ● Attention to magnetic force Strong magnets are used in this pump. Personal injury may be caused from the strong magnetic force. Follow the procedure on "Disassembly & Assembly" when conducting maintenance work. ● Do not run pump dry Running the pump without liquid, friction heat damages the inside of pump.
Outline 1. Unpacking & Inspection On unpacking the product, check the following points. If you find any problems, contact your nearest distributor. 1. Check the information on nameplate (model code, flow rate, discharge pressure and voltage) to see if the product is delivered as per order. 2.

Installation 1. Before installation 1. Discharge line 2. Gate valve 3. Check valve 4. Pressure gauge 5. Motor 6. Magnetic drive pump 7. Expansion joint Within 1m 8. Vacuum (compound) gauge 9. Straight suction line 10. Suction line 11. Air vent line 12.
Installation 2. Pipework ■ Tightening torque between the pump and pipework Connect the pump to pipework via inlet and outlet flanges according to the tightening torque below. Tighten bolts diagonally at even tension. Model Bolt size Tightening torque MXM22/44/54 79N•m NOTE1: The table is based on use of metal pipe flanges with rubber gaskets.

Installation ■ Suction line 1. Flooded suction application Always realize the flooded suction. 2. Suction line bore A suction line bore should be equal to or larger than pump inlet. 3. Shortest line length Keep the shortest length with the minimum number of bends. 4.
Installation ■ Discharge line 1. Discharge line bore When a discharge line is long but its 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 line bore.
Installation 4. Protection equipment It is recommended to install the following monitoring devices in order to protect the pump. 1. Current sensor/ Power sensor The sensors monitor the motor load and stop the pump on the detection of load change, giving an alarm. 2.
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. Especially for the FF types, the bearing and spindle can be damaged in a quite-short time of about one minute. Prohibit ●...
Operation 2. Operation 1. Fully close a discharge valve and fully open a suction valve. 2. Prime the pump. • If the pump is in the flooded suction application, fully open both discharge and suction valves. • If the pump is in the suction lift application, prime a suction line as well as the pump. 3.
Operation 3. Shutdown 1. Slowly close a discharge valve. Quick closing by a solenoid valve may cause water hammer and damage the pump. Be sure to slowly close any discharge valve. 2. Switch off and stop the pump. Check that the pump stops smoothly. If the pump stops roughly, make an inspection. NOTE: When leave the pump stopped for a long period...

Maintenance 2. Maintenance & Inspection WARNING ● Access limitation 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 pace- maker. ● Do not catch the finger The magnetic force of the pump is powerful.
Page 29
Maintenance ■ Periodic inspection 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 the drive magnet unit and magnet capsule assembly is strong. Be careful not to catch the finger.

Maintenance ■ Wear limits of bearing and spindle * 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 ● Access limitation 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 pace- maker. ● Do not catch the finger The magnetic force of the pump is powerful.

Maintenance ■ Dismantlement 1. Flush out chemical liquid from the pump by Front casing a flushing line. Then remove the drain cap to empty the pump. WARNING Wear protective clothing such as goggles, rubber gloves, etc. during maintenance. Coming in contact with a harmful chemi- cal liquid may cause eye or skin trouble.

Maintenance b. MXM542/ 543/ 545 U-shape hole ø3mm hole Attach the impeller unit to the magnet capsule assembly. The mating surface on the assembly has two holes. The large hole (Stepped holes with 6mm at outer dia. & 12mm at inner dia) is for the lock pins and the small hole (3mm dia.) is for cooling.

Maintenance 2. Insert the magnet capsule assembly plus the impeller unit into the rear casing slowly. Do not allow iron pieces to adhere to the magnet capsule assembly. Spacer 3. Mount the rear casing to the bracket with the magnet capsule assembly in it. Bracket CAUTION Magnet force is very powerful.
Maintenance 4. Spare & Wear parts Appropriate spare parts are necessary for a long period of continuous operation. We recommend that wear parts be always in stock. Place an order for spares with the following information. 1. Part names and part number (See the diagram below.) 2.
