3. Installation and Storage
3.1 Cautions for Installation and Storage
* Do not use the pump in an explosive atmosphere. Such use may result in injury and
fire.
* Ensure that the vicinity of the motor and pump is completely free of inflammable
materials (e.g. inflammable solvents). Use in the presence of such materials may
result in fire.
* Operating the pump with the discharge outlet blocked, or with a device which
prevents passage of gas to the discharge outlet, may result in rupture of the pump.
The internal pressure of the pump rises and the pump body may rupture and the
motor become overloaded.
This pump is not designed to be pressure-resistant. The internal pressure of the
pump is limited to 30 kPa (gauge pressure).
* Ensure that the vicinity of the pump is free of objects which may obstruct the flow of
air in the vicinity of the cooling fan. Such obstructions may result in overheating,
causing burns and fire.
* Ensure that the relevant wiring is in accordance with technical standards for
electrical equipment and wiring regulations. Incorrect wiring may result in fire.
* To eliminate the possibility of electric shock, remove the power cord from the outlet
before joining electrical wiring. Do not undertake such work on live wires under any
circumstances.
* Always ensure that the pump is correctly earthed. A dedicated earth leakage
breaker is recommended. Failure to earth the pump correctly may result in electric
shock if a fault or earth leakage occurs.
* Use the pump only at the rated voltage. Use at other than the rated voltage will
interfere with operation of the overload protection device, and this may result in the
motor burning out, or fire.
* Do not damage, modify, pull, or place objects on the power cord. Earth leaks may
occur at damaged points on the cord, resulting in electric shock or fire.
* Always fully insert the power cord into the socket. Partial insertion may result in
electric shock.
* Always grip the plug when removing it from the outlet. Pulling on the power cord
may result in electric shock.
* Inserting or removing the power cord with wet hands may result in electric shock or
fire.
* Take care not to touch electrical wiring when inserting the plug into the outlet. Any
contact with electrical wiring may result in electric shock.
* To prevent back injuries, always use at least two people when lifting and moving
the pump.
* Application of physical shock to, or tipping of, the pump may result in a
malfunction.
