●Do not reduce the diameter in the middle of piping.
●When connecting a valve in the middle of piping, be sure to provide a bypass point.
Precautions for Piping
Excessive drainage resistance results in reduced flow, abnormal pump noise and malfunction.
Please observe the following precautions.
●Do not use a right-angle elbow pipe at the end of the water intake pipe or the drain pipe.
If necessary, use a pipe with a smooth angle.

●How to use the controller
※Each button is a touch panel type, so do not push it strongly,
as it will be the cause of the failure.
Attention
It is recommended to use at a rotation speed (RPM) of 2500 rpm or less.
Use at high speeds not only increases power consumption,
but also causes failures and accelerates wear.
If the flow rate is weak when used at 2500 rpm or less, check the connected
devices and piping.
※The number (RPM) displayed in the center indicates the rotation speed of the
impeller.Increasing the flow rate by increases the RPM (rotational speed), as well
as decreasing it.In addition, when resistance is applied to the drainage, the RPM
(rotational speed) increases to maintain the set flow rate.
1. If you touch the High button while "OFF" is displayed, the pump will
Starts running.
2. Use the "High button" and "Low button" to adjust the flow rate to match the tank.
Touch the High button to increase the number of rotations to increase the water flow.
3. Touch the power button once to enter pause mode and stop the pump.
※Pause mode is released after about 30 minutes, and starts running with the power
before the pause.
4. If you touch the power button again in the pause mode, the power turns off.
