assembling the pump unit without turning off the power may cause an electrical
shock. Before engaging in any maintenance
or inspection work, be sure to turn off the
pump and related devices.
● Terminate operation.
On sensing any abnormality, stop operation
immediately and inspect/solve problems.
● For specified application only
The use of the pump in any application
other than those clearly specified may result

● 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.
● Do not damage the power cable.
Risk of fire or electrical shock. Do not
scratch, modify, or pull the power cable.
The cable can also be damaged when it is
heated or loaded with a heavy thing.
● Do not cover the motor during operation.
Or heats builds up and fire or mechanical
failure may result.
● Earthing
Risk of electrical shock. Always earth the pump.
●Install an earth leakage breaker.
An electrical failure of the pump may adversely affect related devices. Purchase and
install an earth leakage breaker separately.
● Power cable is not replaceable.
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.
● Limited operating site and storage
Do not install or store the pump in the following places where...
1. Ambient temperature exceeds 40°C or
falls below 0°C.
2. Under a flammable/corrosive atmosphere.
● Do not drain a harmful chemical liquid
directly on the ground or the floor.
Use a container.
●Disposal of the used pump
Dispose of any used or damaged pump
in accordance with relevant regulations.
Consult a licensed industrial waste products
disposing company.
● Static electricity
When low electric conductivity liquids such
as ultra-pure water and fluor inactive liquid
(e.g. Fluorinert
TM
) are handled, the static
electricity may generate in the pump and
may cause static discharge. Take countermeasures to remove the static electricity.

nature of the pump.
1. Unpacking & Inspection
On unpacking the product, check the following points. If
you find any problems, contact your nearest distributor.
1. Check the information on the
nameplate such as model, discharge capacity, discharge head
and voltage to see that the product is delivered as per order.
2. Check for transit damage, deformation, and loose bolts.
2. Operating principle
The MD-F is a magnetic drive centrifugal pump.
The magnetic force of the motor drives the impeller magnet and rotates the impeller in the pump chamber, where a
liquid is transferred from the inlet to outlet.
