This pump has been designed to conform to the rules in place when this document was created. Conformity is

Performance and safety may not be ensured if equipment connected to this pump does not conform to the
same rules or if the pump is altered. In such cases, we cannot guarantee (take responsibility for) performance

None of this pump's parts may continue to be used permanently while maintaining the performance upon
delivery. Performance inevitably degrades after a certain amount of time elapses, thus increasing the likelihood
of product problems even in assumed common usage scenarios. We ask that our customers perform preventive
maintenance to avoid problems in accordance with their usage scenarios. By performing preventive
maintenance measures, you can lower the probability of problems with this pump due to parts failures caused
by parts becoming worn out as well as the probability of other risks, such as downtime caused by pump
problems, fire, or effects on other processes. From the viewpoint of preventive maintenance, we also ask our
customers to prepare maintenance and inspection plans and to replace parts and perform overhauls according
to such plans.
If you have any questions about handling or other matters, please contact our nearest sales office or dealer.
