2 . U npa ck ing Unpack the equipment and check that it corresponds to your order based on the items below. 1. The model number is the one you ordered (see Section 3, “Model Display”, on page 4 for information about model number).
3 . M ode l The model on the pump nameplate consists of the following items. Pump nameplate Motor nameplate MODEL BX 10 – P C E – F 110 SP Special specifications Series K:High Viscosity Pump size Connection (Suction/Discharge) Mark Mark Type...
4 . Pum p Const ruc t ion 4.1 Components (1) Pump drive: Moves the diaphragm in a back-and-forth motion. (2) Pump head: Performs suction and discharge using the back-and-forth motion of the diaphragm. (3) Suction port: Connects the suction hose. (4) Discharge port: Connects the discharge hose.
4 . Pum p Const ruc t ion 4.2 Construction Two bearings are fastened eccentrically to the camshaft that is directly connected to the motor axle. The backup is constantly pressed against the bearings through spring resistance. When the crankshaft turns, it pushes out the backup through the eccentric movement of the bearings. Then the diaphragm at the end repeats a suction/discharge motion by the back-and-forth motion of the crosshead.

9 . Piping a nd Wiring 9.1 Piping Cut the furnished suction/discharge hose before use. 9.1.1 Connecting the suction/discharge hose. Hose (1) Run the braided PVC hose through the union Union nut collar and union nut, and push the end of the hose well into the hose joint.
9 . Piping a nd Wiring 9.1.3 Installing the foot valve PVC pipe The suction hose may have a tendency to curl up. Use size 13A or 16A. If the hose is inserted in the tank in this condition, the weight of the foot valve alone may not keep the hose submerged.
9 . Piping a nd Wiring 9.2 Wiring This pump is only supplied as a stand-alone unit. For the power source, provide safety equipment such as breakers and a control panel with an ON/OFF switch. Also, set up an ammeter for monitoring pump operation.
1 0 . Ope rat ion 10.1 Pre-operation checks Check the following items before starting to operate the pump: • There is no liquid leakage at the point of attachment for the anti-siphon check valve, in the piping, or where piping connects to the pump. •...
1 0 . Ope rat ion 10.3 Adjusting the stroke length CAUTION • The stroke length should be adjusted when the pump is running. • Depending on the movement of the backup while the pump is running, the stroke length adjustment knob may be hard to turn sometimes and easy to turn at other times.
1 0 . Ope rat ion 10.4 Starting operation ≥25% (1) Open the valves in the piping and start the pump. (2) Using an ammeter, check that the load current is within the rated value. ATTENTION Avoid running the pump at a stroke length below 25%. The discharge accuracy may fall.
1 1 . M a int e na nc e I nst ruc t ions Inspect the details below. If you find something abnormal, stop pump operation immediately. Take appropriate measures, referring to “Troubleshooting” on page 22. Be sure to follow these points when conducting a maintenance inspection: WARNING •...
