  • Page 10: Handling

    Handling CAUTION Do not run pump dry When the pump is operated for the first time after it was installed or after it was disassembled and repaired, fill the pump chamber with the liquid to be pumped. If the pump runs dry without any liquid, rubbing parts of pump will seize.
  • Page 11 Slurry cannot be handled except for type A or KK (with alumina ceramic bearing) which can handle slurry liquid up to 5% concentration, slurry size of 50 micron m or below and hardness up to 80Hs. Contact Iwaki America if you wish to handle slurry liquid.
  • Page 12: Installation, Piping, And Wiring

    The lifting capability depends upon the liquid properties, temperature, and length of suction piping. For details, consult Iwaki America or your distributor. 2. The pump can be installed indoors or outdoors. However, there should be sufficient space around the...
  • Page 13  Installation 1. The pump anchoring area must be greater than the area of the pump baseplate. If the anchoring area is not large enough, the baseplate may be damaged due to the concentration of loads placed on it. 2. Set the pump baseplate on a concrete foundation and fasten the anchor bolts tightly to prevent the pump from vibrating during operation.
  • Page 14 3. Avoid installations with poor suction conditions (e.g. vacuum in suction tank, large suction head or long suction piping). NPSHa should always be at least 2 feet greater than NPSHr. For NPSHr values, refer to the standard performance curve for your pump model or contact Iwaki America or your distributor.
  • Page 15 When using the flooded suction method, the suction pipe should be given a slight ascending gradient toward the pump so that no air pocket is created on the suction side. The end of the suction pipe should be located 18 inches or more below the surface of the liquid. A screen should be provided at the inlet of the suction tank to prevent the entrance of foreign matter into the suction pipe.
  • Page 16 12. Pay close attention to the lowest level of the liquid in the suction tank so that air entrainment to the suction piping will not occur. The inflow pipe into the suction tank should be distanced from the suction pipe and positioned below the liquid surface as a means of preventing air entrainment to the suction pipe.
  • Page 17: Operation

     Wiring Use appropriate wiring materials, follow the instruction manual for the motor and abide by the local and national electrical codes. In addition, follow the instructions given below: 1. Use a motor contactor that conforms to the specifications (voltage, current, etc.) of the pump motor. 2.
  • Page 18 If the direction is reversed, exchange two wires of the three-phase power wires. Note: All Iwaki America MX-(F) series pumps spin counter-clockwise when looking at the suction port of the pump. Naturally, from the motor fan side, this would be viewed as clockwise.
  • Page 19 Check/Operation Step Remarks 4. Flow rate adjustment. Open valve slowly, paying attention to the motor amp meter Once total discharge pressure is increased to shut off to prevent it from being overloaded through excessive pressure. Open discharge valve gradually to set opening of the valve.
  • Page 20: Maintenance And Inspection

    Maintenance and Inspection  Daily Inspection 1. Check that the pump operates smoothly, without generating abnormal sounds or vibration. 2. Check the level of the liquid in the suction tank, and the suction pressure. 3. Compare the discharge pressure and current measured during operation with the specifications indicated on the motor and pump nameplates to verify normal pump load.

  • Page 28: Disassembly And Assembly Of Pump

    Disassembly and Assembly of Pump Caution! Since the magnets used in the pump are powerful, be careful not to catch your fingers or hand between them during disassembly or assembly. Also, keep the magnet unit away from any electronic device (or ATM card with a magnetic strip) that could be affected by a strong magnetic field.
  • Page 29  For MX-(F)402(H) and (F)403(H) Turn the lock pin counter clockwise by 90 degrees using a slotted screw driver and then push it towards the inside of the impeller. If it is hard to push it out, slightly tap the end of driver handle.
  • Page 30  Reassembly Reassemble the pump by reversing the order of disassembly. Take care not to contaminate or damage the seal faces or o-rings. Tighten the bolts uniformly to prevent uneven tightening. 1. Mount the motor adapter to the motor. Depending on the pump model, the base may need to be removed for proper installation.
  • Page 31 After the impeller is inserted (press-fit), insert the lock pins from the inside and then tighten the pin by turning it clockwise 90 degrees from outside with a slotted screwdriver. You will feel a snap when it is fixed securely. If the groove for a slotted screwdriver is deformed and cannot be used, the pin can be locked from the inside with a 4mm hex wrench.
  • Page 32: Spare Parts

    Original factory spare parts are necessary to ensure continuous pump operation. Expendable parts, such as bearings, spindles and mouth (thrust) rings should always be kept on hand. Consult your distributor or Iwaki America for the correct part numbers and pricing. When placing orders, supply the following information.
