Dangerous or hazardous actions can cause serious injuries or death to people or serious
damage to materials and so it’s important to assure the respect of all the warnings
relative to the safety and the correct use written in this manual.
Verify always that the pumped liquid is compatible with the materials of construction of
the pump. For any clarification please contact Ekin Endüstriyel technical office.
In case of use for pumping aggressive, toxic liquids or liquids dangerous for the health
of the personnel, it’s necessary to install on the pump an adequate protection for the
containment, the collection and the warning of any dangerous product in case of
leakage: e.g. Danger of pollution, contamination, injuries and/or death.
Do not pump liquids containing solids in suspension. Mag drive pumps are designed
to pump clean liquids. The use of a suction strainer is strongly recommended (however
the filter has to be kept clean). We suggest a continuous check of the suction strainer
to avoid obstruction of the suction causing cavitation. Avoid in particular to pumping
liquids containing ferro oxides or other ferromagnetic particles, even if small.
Read the following instructions to change the sense of rotation:
• Wear individual homologated protection devices (e.g. gloves, glasses).
• Make sure that the operating conditions are analogous to the specifications of the pump (see
paragraph 7).
• Install the pump in the hydraulic system.
• Open the suction and the discharge valve completely.
• Fill the pump with the liquid. It’s recommended to perform this test with an inert liquid like
water.
• Do not run the pump dry (Note: the design of mag drive pumps don’t allow dry running
because it causes damages to the inner components of the pump).
• Start the motor only for one or two seconds to check that the sense of rotation is in the
same direction of the arrow on the pump head or on the motor and on the technical
drawing of the pump (the sense of rotation is clockwise looking at the front of the pump and
counterclockwise looking at the motor fan).
A pump turning backwards will pump but at a greatly reduced capacity and pressure.
