BEFORE USING THE DEVICE
★Read and strictly follow instructions on liquid’s use.
Refer to information on liquid you wish to transfer. Read it carefully
and use the liquid properly.
★In case of direct contact with liquid, act immediately.
In case of liquid ingestion, skin contamination etc. immediately
proceed with liquid’s safety procedures and seek medical attention.
)
★It is strictly prohibited to use fire.
There is a significant risk of fire.
Do not transfer liquids like gasoline or petroleum.
★Do not disassemble or regulate the device.
Doing so permanently invalidates the warranty.
★Refer to the permitted liquids list.
This pump has been designed for acids, alkalis and solvents transfer,
however, there are acids, alkalis and solvents which should not be
transferred. Transferring liquids other than pointed out by
AQUASYSTEM may result in accidents, for which the pump maker
is not responsible. It is also the user’s responsibility to properly and
safely use dangerous liquids. Contact us if you wish to determine,
whether a specific liquid can be transferred.
★Use the hose with care。
Do not excessively bend it, pull it etc…
★The hose becomes worn.
The hose is a part, which undergoes normal quality deterioration
with use. Therefore, it cannot be a matter of warranty claims. The
hose can be replaced when it’s necessary.

★Use the device in a safe place.
Keep the pump away from children.
★Seek medical attention when necessary.
If you suddenly feel worse when operating the pump, immediately
discontinue the operation and seek medical attention.
★Use protective equipment.
Wear protective equipment according to liquid’s safety instructions.
★Do not upgrade, reassemble or repair the pump.
All repair and service related matters are restricted to authorized
experts.
★Prevent chemical reactions.
When changing the liquid you are going to transfer, remember to
remove the previous liquid and clean the device. Not doing so may
result in dangerous chemical reactions.
★Pay attention to hardening of the hose.
Transferring some of the liquids may cause hose’s hardening with
time. This may eventually lead to leakage and falling out of the hose.
In such cases the hose has to be replaced before using the device.
★Do not run the device in a dry state.
Also, do not go away from the device when operational.
★Liquid’s temperature should be below 60℃.
★Inspect the hose band from time to time.
Before shipment, hose band’s torque is carefully inspected, however,
with time the hose band may become loose. Check the hose band
before using the pump.
★Do not treat pump’s parts with fire.
Do not use fire or oil on the hose etc. When you find it difficult to
connect the hose, insert it for a while into warm water.

★Request technical service whenever required.
When the device stops operating or operates in a strange manner,
immediately turn it off and contact technical service. Do not use
broken equipment, as it may result in accidents.
★Do not cause shock to device’s main body.
It may result in pump’s malfunction, breakdowns and leakage.
★Do not transfer liquids contaminated with sludge.
Transferring liquids contaminated with sludge may damage the
propeller, shaft and bearing, resulting in general performance
decrease.
★Permitted pressure.
Permitted pressure’s range: 0.3～0.7Mpa
★Do not pull water or chemicals on the motor.
It may result in electric shock and fire.
★Transfer liquids of viscosity no higher than 100 cP (pump’s uplift
capability decreases by higher viscosities).
★Do not bend the joint part between the ball valve and the hose.
★Replace the hose if you have found the following:
partial extension、bending、leakage、bulges、nipple connection
loosening
