procedures to safely use this pump and to maximize its performance. Read this document in advance to
properly use this pump.
Install and operate this pump according to the safety-related laws and regulations (such as fire prevention
laws and electrical wiring regulations) in your country or region. To this end, you must first attend a publicly
recognized general safety training (including on electrical and loading safety topics) in your country or
region. Never handle this pump without first undergoing safety training. The operator must attend such
training. The operator must have expertise, skills, and certifications related to electricity, machinery, loading,
vacuum usage, and other fields.
This pump has been designed to conform to the rules in place when this document was created. Conformity
is not guaranteed because the applicable standards may change in the future.
Performance and safety may not be ensured if equipment connected to this pump does not conform to the
same rules or if the pump is altered. In such cases, we cannot guarantee (take responsibility for)
performance or safety. Product alterations made by the customer are not covered by the warranty, and we
cannot take responsibility for them.
Before installing or removing this pump, separate all energy sources (including power and cooling water)
from the product.
None of this pump's parts may continue to be used permanently while maintaining the performance upon
delivery. Performance inevitably degrades after a certain amount of time elapses, thus increasing the
likelihood of product problems even in assumed common usage scenarios. We ask that our customers
perform preventive maintenance to avoid problems in accordance with their usage scenarios.
By performing preventive maintenance measures, you can lower the probability of problems with this pump
due to parts failures caused by parts becoming worn out as well as the probability of other risks, such as
downtime caused by pump problems, fire, or effects on other processes.
From the viewpoint of preventive maintenance, we also ask our customers to prepare maintenance and
inspection plans and to replace parts and perform overhauls according to such plans.
