(3)Do not use in the following environments.
1. An environment where corrosive gases, organic solvents, chemicals, or flammable fluids are present.
2. Where the product is exposed to sea water, water, or water vapor.
3. Where the deterioration of the resin due to ultraviolet or temperature rise is possible because of
direct sunlight.
4. Where a heat source is present in the surrounding environment and ventilation is poor (shield
the heat source with an insulator).
5. Where impact or vibration is present.
6. Where excess humidity or dust is present.
(4)Compressed air at low dew point
If ultra dry air is used as pilot air, it can reduce the lubrication characteristics and affect the
reliability (life) of the equipment. Contact SMC beforehand.
(5)Mounting of the pump:
Mount the pump securely with four M4 bolts.
(6)Caution for piping of the tube
Support the piping according to JIS B 8370 when piping the tube. Arrange the piping so that
tension is not applied to the tube.
Caution
(1) Assemble after reading the operation manual.
Mount the product after reading the operation manual carefully. Also keep it available whenever
necessary.
(2)Check the mounting direction of the product.
Mount the product vertically so that the FLUID OUT port faces upward. Otherwise internal parts
will not operate smoothly to achieve the full performance.
Secure all mounting parts properly. If the transmission of vibration is unacceptable, insert an
isolating rubber material before installation.
(3)Flush the piping before installing.
Flush and clean the piping before installing the product. Dust and foreign matter left in the piping
can cause operating failure and malfunction.
(4)If fittings with metal threads are used, it could break the female thread of the product. For
piping the tube fitting, use fittings with resin threads.
(5)Observe the tightening torque for screws.
When screwing fittings into the product, tighten them with proper tightening torque as shown
below. Over-tightening can damage the thread.
