Main Parts Pump unit (Liquid feeding unit) Discharge port Specifications label Use the pump according to the specifications on the label. Suction port Base Fix the pump securely.
Handling Instructions Warning Switch off the power when the pump or its electrical parts get wet. Keep the pump away from fire Do not place dangerous or flammable substances near the pump. Caution Keep the impeller assembly away from any electronic device that could be affected by a strong magnetic field.
7. Power cable A broken or frayed power cable may cause an electrical shock. Do not bend, pull or twist power cords. Consult Iwaki America customer service if power cable is damaged and needs to be replaced. 8. Cleaning the pump Do not clean the exterior of the pump with a solvent such as Benzene, alcohol, etc.
Pump base mounting The base of the pump must be anchored firmly to the mounting surface. It is recommended that the unit be installed in a horizontal position, however vertical mounting is acceptable provided adequate liquid level above inlet is present and air is properly vented. Piping Instructions ...
Caution Do not tighten the connection ports (suction and discharge) excessively as they are made of plastic resin and are easily damaged. Hose Clamp Pay attention the load is not applied to inlet and outlet port. Wiring Before you start wiring works, make sure the main power is switched off. ...
If pump is switched ON and OFF, install the switch at the secondary side of DC power source (between power sources and pump). If power is ON and OFF at the primary side of DC power source, it is possible pump can not start. Good No good DC power...
Operation After the installation, piping and wiring processes are completed, operate the pump in accordance with the following steps. Operation Step Description (Points to be checked) Check in accordance with the ‘Hose connection’ Check piping, wiring and and ‘Wiring’ sections. Check the power supply voltage voltage by referring to the information on the nameplate.
Pump Stopping Procedures Stopping Step Description Close discharge side valve Close discharge side valve gradually. Do not use electromagnetic valve for quick closing. Turn off power supply. (Check Check that motor stops smoothly stopping condition.) after power is disconnected. If not, pump should be inspected.
Draining procedure 1. Turn off the power supply. (Make sure no other operator will turn on the power supply accidentally.) 2. Fully close the discharge and suction sides valves. 3. Remove the hoses connected with the discharge and suction ports. Position the draining pan below the pump unit in advance.
