WARNING
Safety instructions
● Turn off power
Risk of electrical shock. Dismantling/assembling the pump unit without turn-
ing off power may cause an electrical shock. Before engaging in any mainte-
nance or inspection work, be sure to turn off the pump and related devices.
● For specified application only
The use of the pump in any application other than those clearly specified
may result in injury or damage. Use the pump in a specified condition.
● No modification
Do not modify the pump. We are not responsible for any accidents or dam-
age due to modification.
● Specified power only
Do not apply any power other than the specified one on the nameplate.
Otherwise, personal injury or property damage may result.
● Wear protective clothing
Always wear protective clothing such as safety goggles and protective gloves
during pipework or dismantlement.
● Do not touch the pump or pipe with bare hands
The surface temperature of the pump or pipe rises high along with gas tem-
perature in or right after operation.
CAUTION
● Restriction on operators
The pump should be handled by a qualified person with a full understanding.
● Ventilation
Poisoning may result when handling a toxic or odorous liquid. Keep good
ventilation in a working area.
● Operating and Storage conditions

CAUTION
Safety instructions
● Do not wet the pump
If a liquid spills over electric parts or wires, a fire or electrical shock may
result. Install the pump in a place free from liquid spillage.
● Damaged pumps
Do not use any damaged pump. Using a damaged pump may lead to an
electric leak or shock.
● Stop operation
On sensing any abnormality or danger, stop operation immediately and
inspect/solve problems.
● Wear part replacement
Observe related instructions for part replacement. Do not dismantle the
pump beyond the extent described in this manual.
● Do not damage a power cable
Risk of fire or electrical shock. Do not scratch, modify, or pull a power cable.
The cable can also be damaged when it is heated or loaded with a heavy
thing.
● Do not place the pump close to water
The pump is not dust-/water-proof construction. The use of the pump in a
humid place or a place where the pump can get wet may result in electrical
shock or short-circuit.
●Install an earth leakage breaker
Risk of electrical shock. Do not use the pump without an earth leakage
breaker. Purchase separately.
● Damaged power cable
Do not use any damaged power cable for the prevention of a fire or electrical
shock. The cable is not replaceable, so that the whole pump unit needs to be
replaced when the cable is damaged.
● Pump disposal
Dispose of any used or damaged pump in accordance with local laws and reg-
ulations (Consult a licensed industrial waste products disposing company.).
● Earth connection
Always earth the pump in order to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

On unpacking the product, check the following
points. If you find any problems, contact your
nearest distributor.
1. Check the information on labels to see if the
delivery is as per order.
2. Check for transit damage and loose bolts.
2. Product outline
The APN-450 is a diaphragm type air pump.
■ Principle of operation
The rotary motion of the motor is converted
through a connecting rod to the reciprocation of
the diaphragm in the pump chamber, where gas is
transferred from the inlet to outlet.
