1. Safety Instruction
Caution
● Turnoffpowersupply.
Working without disconnecting the power supply may
cause an electrical shock. Before engaging upon any
working procedures involving the pump, make sure to
turn the power supply switch off and to stop the pump
and other related devices.
● Terminateoperation.
When you detect or become aware of a dangerous sign
or abnormal condition during operation, terminate the
operation immediately and start it from the beginning
again.
● Forspecifiedapplicationonly.
The use of a pump in an application other than those
clearly specified may result in injury or damage to the
pump. Use the pump strictly in accordance with the
pump specifications and application range.
● Noremodeling.
Never remodel a pump. Otherwise, a serious accident
mayresult.Iwakiwillnotberesponsible foranyaccidentor
damage of anykind which iscaused by the userremodeling
thepumpwithoutfirstobtainingpermissionorinstructions
from Iwaki.
● Wearprotectors.
If you touch or come in contact with any type of hazard-
ous chemical liquid, including but not limited to chemi-
cals, you may experience a serious injury. Wear protec-
tive gear (protective mask, gloves, etc.) during the pump
operation.
● Qualifiedoperatorsonly.
The pump operator and pump operation supervisor must
not allow any operators who have little or no knowledge
of the pump to run or operate the pump. Pump operators
must have a sound knowledge of the pump and its opera-
tion.
● Specifiedpoweronly.
Do not operate the pump on voltage which is not speci-
fied on the nameplate. Failure to do so may result in
damage or fire. Only the specified power level is to be
applied.
● Donotwetordampen.
If the motor or wiring cable becomes wet or dampened
with the operating liquid by mistake, this may result in
a fire or cause an electrical shock. Install the motor and
wiring cable in positions which are not likely to become
wet or dampened with any liquid.
● Ventilate.
Poisoning may result during an operation which involves
toxic or odorous liquid. Ventilate the operating site suf-
ficiently.
● Spill-outaccident.
Protective measures should be taken against any acciden-
tal spill-out or leakage of the operating liquid as a result
of unexpected damage on the pump or the related piping.

● Damagedpump.
Never operate a damaged pump. A damaged pump may
cause leakage or electrical shock.
● Operatingsitemustbefreeofwaterand
humidity.
The pump is not designed to be water-proof or dust-proof.
The use of the pump in places where water splashes or
humidity is high may result in an electrical shock or short
circuit.
● Donotdamageorchangepowercable.
Do not scratch, damage, process, or pull the power cable
forcibly. An extra load onto the cable, such as heating the
cable or placing something heavy on the cable, may dam-
age the cable and finally cause a fire or an electrical shock.
● Donotcoverthemotor.
Running a covered motor may accumulate heat inside the
motor and cause a fire or a mechanical failure. Ventilate
the motor sufficiently.
● Arrangegrounding.
Do not operate the pump without connecting the grounding
wire. Otherwise, an electrical shock may result. Make
sure the grounding wire is connected with the grounding
terminal.
● Installanearthleakagebreaker(option).
The operation of a pump without using an earth leakage
breaker may cause an electrical shock. Please purchase an
optional leakage breaker and install in the system.
● Powercablecannotbereplaced.
Never use a damaged or affected power cable. Otherwise,
a fire or an electrical shock may result. Handle the power
cable carefully, as it cannot to be replaced with a new
cable. (The pump unit itself must be replaced in that cir-
cumstance.)
● Limitedoperatingsiteandstorage.
Do not install or store the pump in the following places:
* Places where a flammable gas or material is used or
stored.
* Places where the ambient temperature is extremely high
(40ºC or higher) or extremely low (0ºC or lower).
● Donotdraintheliquidinthesite.
The liquid discharged out of the pump, including a hazard-
ous chemical liquid, must be drained into a special con-
tainer. Never drain such liquid directly onto the floor in or
near the operation site.
● Disposalofusedpump.
Disposal of used or damaged pumps must be done in
accordance with the relevant local laws and regulations.

charge capacity, discharge pres-
sure, voltage, and other items
marked on the nameplate repre-
sent what you ordered?
[2] Has the product been damaged
or nuts and bolts been loosened
during delivery? Please examine
visually or by touch.
*Contact your dealer if you

The Iwaki Magnet Gear Pump comprises a pair of gears driven by
a magnet coupling and casing in which the gears are fitted exactly.
(Fig. A)
Liquid introduced from the IN side feeds into the grooves between
the teeth of the gears and is transferred to the OUT side by rotation
of the gears. (Fig. B)
Then, the liquid is forced out of the grooves between the gear teeth
in engagement. (Fig. C)
For safe use and correct handling of the pump, confirm the applica-
tion purpose and performance limits of the pump as well as the dan-
gerous aspects of the operation before using the pump.

9 Handling Instructions
● Handlethepumpcarefully.
A strong impact caused by
dropping the pump on the
floor, striking it, etc., may
result in faulty performance or
damage to the pump.
●The pump is not self-prim-
ing type. Before operating
the pump, be sure to fill the
pump with liquid by operating
priming.
Caution!
●Donotoperatethepump
dry or with the discharge or
suction side closed. If this
is done, the gears and bearings
will be worn out. Particularly,
if the pump is operated with
the discharge side closed, the
discharge pressure will be
increased and the relief valve
will be activated. This will
cause the liquid to circulate
in the pump chamber. If this
happens the temperature will
rise rapidly, causing abnormal
wear, seizure, etc., between
contacting parts.
■ HandlingInstructions ●The pump structure is not
designed to be dust-proof
or water-proof. Try not to
wet or dampen the motor unit.
● Forthepreventionofelec-
tricshockaccident,besure
to purchase an optional
earthleakagebreakerand
install it in the system.
●Grounding must be set with
the use of a grounding wire.
For the prevention of electric
shock, it is recommended that
an earth leakage breaker also
be installed.
●Do not cover the motor unit
tightly with a cover, etc.
Avoid operating the pump at
an ambient temperature above
40ºC. The relative humidity
should be below 90%. Do
not splash water on the motor.
This may cause an electrical
short or burning.
Electrical Shock

- 14 -
●Since there are powerful mag-
nets inside the pump, any liq-
uid containing powder of iron,
nickel, etc. cannot be used.
Also, the pump cannot be used
for the transfer of slurry liquid
or liquid which begins to crys-
tallize when stationary.
●To ensure safety, do not place
any inflammable material or
other dangerous substance
near the pump.
●The pump motor is not
designed to be explosion-
proof. Do not operate the
pump in the places where
filled with or likely to be filled
with explosive atmosphere.
●The power cable cannot be
replaced.
When the power cable is
destroyed or damaged, some-
times as a result of dropping it
on the floor or the like, do not
operate the pump. Otherwise,
the pump itself may be dam-
aged.
Slurryliquid
Iron,Nickel
●Cleaning of the pump
Do not use benzine, alcohol,
thinner or the like for cleaning
the pump. These liquids may
cause discoloring or peeling
off of the coat.
● Handlingofadamaged
pump
Do not operate a damaged
pump. A damaged pump
causes electricity leakage or
electric shock accident.
● Donottouchthepump
directly
The surface temperature of
the motor or the pump may be
extremely high during system
operation.
Do not touch directly or place
any items near the pump
which are easily deformed.

10 Installation, Piping and Wiring
CAUTION!
Whenanyabnormalityorirregularityisnoticed,stopthe
pump immediately and restart it from the first step.
[Flooded suction method]
(3) Use M5 machine screws
for fitting the pump. If the
floor on which the pump is
installed is resonant and caus-
es a loud noise, fix the pump
with rubber mountings
(4) Preparation of hoses
Cut the ends of hoses flat
before starting pump installa-
tion.
(5) Do not install the pump verti-
cally.
This cause damage of pump.
(Sideviewofhose)
In case there is liquid inside the suction
piping.
In case there is no liquid in the suction
piping.
(This is not allowed for the B type.)
[Priming method]
(In case the pump chamber is wet)
10-1. Installation
(1) Choose a place where ambient temperature will not exceed 40ºC
and ambient humidity of 90%RH. Allow sufficient space around
the pump for easy access and maintenance. Do not install the
pump out of outdoors.
(2) Install the pump in a position lower than the surface of the liquid
in the tank on the suction side, to prevent dry running (flooded
suction method).
If it is necessary to install an R type pump in a position in
which the inlet of the pump remains higher than the liquid
surface (a suction lift), refer to the illustrations on the
right. In this position, the pump does not suck unless the
pump chamber is wet. (The MDG-R2B type pumps do
not function on a suction lift.)
P

-16-
(4) A pressure gauge must be
attached on the discharge
piping to ease the pressure
setting of the relief valve.
This attachment also helps in
the early detection of pump
abnormality.
(5) For connection, use a thick
hose which can withstand
pump pressure. Since the
hose on the suction side, in
particular, tends to be crushed
by sucking force, the use of
a Teflon®hose or something
similar is recommended.
(When handling hot liquid,
special care should be taken.)
Dischargevalve
Pressure gauge
10-2. Piping
(1) In order to reduce the friction
resistance of liquid, the piping
should be as short and with as
few bends as possible.
(2) The inlet and outlet joints
of the pump should be com-
pletely sealed with sealing
tape, etc., to prevent them
from sucking air. If the
sealing is incomplete on the
suction side, in particular, air
is sucked in and the perfor-
mance of the pump is low-
ered.
Joint size
Refer to "Identification
Code."
(3) When screwing the joint to
the pump, hold the pump
body rather than the motor by
hand, to avoid applying exces-
sive force on the motor and
pump attachment section. For
screwing the joint, the fasten-
ing torque shall be 0.49 N•m
or lower.

10-3. Wiring
The power source handling during wiring work must be done by a
licensed electric specialist only. Iwaki will not be responsible for
any accident or mechanical damage if such an accident or damage
results from the user's failure to observe the instructions above. For
more information on wiring by a specialist, contact your dealer.
■Beforewiring
[1] Be sure to confirm before wiring that the main power supply is
turned off (power supply is disconnected).
[2] Wiring shall be done in accordance with the local electric work
regulations. (Use high-quality wiring elements and carry out
wiring in accordance with the technical standards of electrical
installation and related interior wiring rules.
[3] Use the power source voltage indicated on the "Specifications"
label.
[4] The pump is not provided with an ON/OFF switch. The pump
starts operation when power is supplied by connecting the power
cable of the pump with the power source.
[5] Make sure to include a ground
wire in the wiring. Select a
well-ventilated place for pump
installation. The pump must
not be allowed to become wet or
damp with splashed water.
[6] If the pump is installed with an earth leakage breaker and the
breaker is activated, eliminate the cause of the breaker activation
first, before resetting the condition. When checking the pump
for the said cause, be sure to turn off the power supply.
