CAUTION
[Strictly complying with pump specifications]
-Do not use the pump for specifications and purposes other than the ones specified. Injury or death
accidents and failures of the pump may occur.
-The maximum supply air pressure for the pump is 0.7 MPa. If higher pressure is applied, the pump
and the secondary piping may be damaged causing injury or death accidents/property damage.
Never fail to adjust the air pressure to 0.7 MPa or lower with the air decompression valve to use the
pump.
-The SUS304 is used for the parts where liquid contacts and fluorine-contained rubber (FKM) is mainly
used for the sealing parts of the pump. The pump cannot be used for liquid/chemicals which affect
those materials. If it is used, liquid leakage by corrosion may occur causing human body/property
damage.
[Caution on beginning of use]
-Abrasion/damage of packings causes liquid leakage from the pump. When the pump is used for liquid
which may cause human body/property damage, observe the following items fully.
(1) In preparation for unexpected liquid outflow by pump/hose/piping damage, execute a proper
protective treatment.
(2) Inspect for pump liquid leakage before use every day. If there is a leakage, investigate the pump
well and ask repair.
(3) If there is an abnormality in the pump operating condition, stop using it, and contact the dealer for
your purchase or our sales office.
[Caution on operation/handling]
-The pump has no switch to turn on/off the pump. Open/close the valve or attach/remove the air
coupler to start/stop the pump.
-While the pump is running, do not touch movable parts. If you touch them, your hands may be caught
in them and get injured.
-Do not drop/slap the pump. Failures of the pump may occur.
[Caution on end of operation]
-When the operation ends or when the pump is not to be used for a long time, never fail to disconnect
the air, and open the liquid outlet valve to remove the pressure in the pump, secondary hose, and
piping. The secondary disaster shall be user’s responsibility such as hose/piping damage without
disconnection of air and facility contamination by liquid leakage from a valve.
[Handling transferred liquid]
-Do not discharge the handled liquid directly to the ground. Comply with laws and regulations applied
for handling hazardous substances. Also, for safety, read carefully the handling precautions (MSDS)
by the manufacturer of the liquid in use to handle the liquid cautiously.
NOTE: Use the pump with the minimum necessary supply air pressure to minimize wear of the pump.
2)Preparing operation
When the pump is operated for the first time after installation or when it is re-operated after long time operation stop,
prepare the pump as follows:
(1) Clean enough inside of the piping and the container.
(2) Check for piping connection loose and pump connection screw parts loose.
(3) Wipe off dirt on the part of the pump or the suction assembly, which is inserted to the container, and set it to
the container.
(4) Set 0 MPa for the air decompression valve.
