WARNING WARNING If the temperature of pumping liquid is very low, the casing, the rear casing and the frame adapter would be very cold. So do not touch them. Otherwise person will suffer an injury in a body. If the temperature of pumping liquid is very high, the casing, the rear casing and the frame adapter would be very hot.

If the pump is fitted with a heating jacket, the temperature of heating medium must not exceed the maximum allowable surface temperature of the pump. Operation When a pump is operated while not been completely filled, an ignition source can develop due to heat input. The pump must be completely filled. If cannot ensure that, appropriate monitoring must be taken.

Instructions for Safe Usage In order to use your Sanwa Magnet Drive Pump in the manner for which it was designed, be sure to read through and get a thorough understanding of the contents of this manual and the installation instructions before attempting to install, operate, perform maintenance or inspections.
Precautions When Pumping Special Liquids Sanwa pumps are used in various industries. Our stainless steel magnet drive pumps in particular are frequently used for pumping hazardous, explosive or inflammable liquids. Mishandling in any of these cases could lead to serious consequences such as bodily injury, loss of life or property damage.
Transport and Unpacking 1. Transport ATTENTION When transporting the pump, be careful not to drop it or let it fall. Take the appropriate method, such as picking up by two people or lifting by belt, to avoid risk. Make sure the eyebolts (if the pump is equipped with them) are used to secure the pump during transportation.
Preliminary Check When your pump is delivered, you should check the following items: Are all of the accessories included in the package? ATTENTION Check the name plate to make sure the merchandise is as ordered. Check to make sure the pump has not been damaged or the bolts and nuts not loosened during transport.

Pump Installation 1. Installation Position of the pump should be finalized after considering pump suction capacity. If suction head is not enough, cavitations and abnormal vibration/noise will occur. Pump should be installed in a place which provides sufficient space for maintenance and inspections.
ATTENTION Before attempting to hoist the pump, find out weight of the pump including the motor, and use a rope or hoisting equipment capable of supporting the weight load in order to prevent the pump from falling. 2. Piping Horizontal suction piping should gradually rise toward the inlet port of the pump.
[Suction for Positive Pressure] Gate Valve Compound Pressure Gauge Gauge Piping Gate Support Valve Suction Piping Fastener (required for lengthly piping) Suction Lift Height (See Page.21) [Suction for Negative Pressure] Min. piping diameter x 2 Screen 500mm Foot Valve Min. piping diameter x 1.5 Min.
4. Earthing Pumps that have been supplied in accordance to the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EC) will be identified by a label with the following symbol on it; Once pump has been installed, the earth of motor terminal box should be wired to the earth with a suitable earthing cable. In addition, please carry out the bonding of the plumbing, if necessary.
Operation 1. Pre-Operation Inspections (Be sure to turn the power off before performing inspections!) 1. Tighten flange bolts and machine base bolts. 2. Supply liquid after thoroughly cleaning inside of piping and tanks. 3. Check if you can turn the motor’s fan by hand or thin stick without supplying power.
NOTE Do not operate the pump with the discharge valve shut-off. Do not operate the pump at the flow that is lower than Minimum Continuous Flow. Otherwise the temperature of pump surface will increase, and may exceed the maximum allowable temperature. Minimum Continuous Flow is indicated in datasheet.

ATTENTION High Temperature If pumping hot liquids, do not place your hands or other parts of your body near the casing or frame adapter. Doing so could result in skin burns. No-Load Operation Prohibited The bearings are lubricated by liquid pumped. Running the pump without liquid to be pumped should be avoided.
Specific heat capacity Pump performance itself is not affected by specific heat capacity. But in case of operation with low specific heat capacity liquid in closed circuit system, the temperature of liquid is easy to rise. Use the appropriate measures to prevent the pump from excessively heating Noise Level Typical sound pressure levels measured in dB(A)(at distance 1m from the motor and a height 1.6m from the floor) are shown in the table below.
Maintenance and Inspection 1. Routine Inspection Item Advice Does the pump run smoothly Permissible amplitude of vibration for without vibration? the pump with 2P motor is 28/33µm as maximum and 47/54µm, maximum for the pump equipped with 4P motor(60/50Hz). If abnormal noise is produced by the bearings or other parts, stop the pump immediately and check each part.

2-2 Please insert motor shaft accurately parallel to magnet coupling (M). Nothing so may result in scratch or crank on the motor shaft. 2-3 Please make sure that the motor shaft end is straight (flush) with the inside bottom of magnet coupling (M). ATTENTION If pumping hazardous chemicals, be sure to wash the pump thoroughly after draining the liquid.
