CAUTION
•
Attention to magnetic force
This pump employs strong magnets. Special attention must be paid not to be injured
by attracting force of magnets. Follow the procedure "Disassembling and
Assembling" when the maintenance works are done.
•
Do not run pump dry
Do not run pump dry (without liquid). If the pump run dry, heat is generated by
rubbing, which causes pump damage. If the pump is operated with suction side
valve closed, the pump runs dry.
•
Countermeasures for static electricity
When low electric conductivity liquid such as ultra-pure water and fluor inactive
liquid (e.g. Fluorinert™ are handled, the static electricity may be generated in the
pump, which may cause static discharge and pump break down. Take
countermeasures to avoid and remove the static electricity.
•
Qualified operator
The pump must be handled or operated by the person who has enough knowledge
and well acquainted with the pump.
•
For specified application only
The use of pump in any application other than those clearly specified may result in
the failure or damage of the pump.
Do not run dry
•
Disposal of used pump
Disposal of used or damaged pump must be done in accordance with local laws and
regulations. (Consult a licensed industrial waste products disposing company.)
•
Ventilate the site
When handling the liquid which may generate toxic gas, safety measures such as
ventilation must be taken to prepare for the accidental liquid leakage.
•
Countermeasure to liquid flowing out
Protective measurement must be taken against liquid flowing out caused by
damage of pump or pipe by accident. Also, appropriate measurement must be taken
so that the liquid can not directly flow out on the ground.
Safety Section
•
Eliminate air in pump chamber
Before full operation of pump, run pump to eliminate air from pump chamber.
Above all when pumping liquid which easily generates bubbles (hydrogen peroxide,
sodium hypochlorite or so), eliminate air every time when pump is operated.
Operation of pump with air remaining in pump chamber may heat rubbing parts of
pump resulting in pump damage.
