Outline
Before use, check the specification, limitation and poten-
tially hazardous nature of the pump.
1. Unpacking and inspection
Check the information on the motor nameplate to see
that the product is delivered as ordered.
Check for transit damage, deformation and loose bolts.
2. Operating principle
The Pump'in 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 the outlet.

Note: performance data is based on pumping of clear water
at ambient temperature.
Installation
Before installation: read through this instruction manual
before use. Carry out installation work with full knowledge
and understanding.
Dropping or subjecting the pump to strong impact may
result in failure. Handle the pump with care.
The pump is not capable of self-priming. Always prime the
pump before operation.
The motor is not dust or waterproof.
Do not wet the motor, or it may fail.
The pump does not have an ON-OFF switch. It starts imme-
diately after you plug in the power cable.
Banned solutions
• Halogenated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene
and carbon tetrachloride
• Ether and low-grade ester
• Slurry; never use a slurry, this wears out the pump
bearings
A strong magnet is inside the pump. Do not use the pump
with any liquid which contains metals such as iron and
nickel.
Do not pull or knot the power cable or place something
heavy on it. Damage to the power cable could lead to fire or
electrical shock.
Do not use any damaged pump. Using a damaged pump
may lead to electrical shock.
Install the pump close to a supply tank. Keep the liquid
level in the tank higher than the pump at any time.
An electrical failure of the pump may adversely affect
related devices. Purchase and install an earth leakage
breaker separately.
Installation location
Select a convenient place for maintenance and inspection.
Observe the allowable room temperature range of 0-40°C
and the allowable maximum ambient humidity of 90% RH
(Relative Humidity).

Mounting position
This pump is not capable of self-priming. Ideal for flooded
suction applications. The pump should be installed 30 cm
lower than the suction liquid level, or the bearing may be
worn soon by entrained air.
Outlet direction
Always direct the outlet upward or entrained air cannot be
expelled. Do not mount the pump vertically.
Pump fixation
Secure the pump by fitting the base on a flat and stable
foundation (note: use corrosion resistant fixing screws).
Piping
Install a ball valve on a discharge line for flow rate
adjustment and on a suction line for the convenience of
maintenance, as close to the pump as possible. Avoid any
loops in plumbing runs that could form a vapour trap.
Maintenance
Handling of the pump, maintenance and inspection should
be carried out within this instruction manual. Do not handle
the pump beyond the descriptions in this manual.
We are not responsible for any personal injury or property
damage due to non-observance of this warning.
After a long period of operation or storage, the pump head
mounting screws may be loose. Tighten the mounting
screws as necessary. Do not overtighten to avoid deforma-
tion of the plastic pump head.
Always check for abnormality in vibration, noise, current
value, and discharge capacity. Stop operation in case of
any abnormality.
To run the pump for a long period, wear parts such as an
impeller and an O-ring need to be replaced periodically.
No drain port is provided with this pump. See drainage
procedure below:
1. Turn off power. Make sure no one turns on the power
while working on the pump.
2. Close any discharge and suction side valves fully. Open
a drain valve to empty the pump.
3. Place a container under the pump. Remove hoses from
the inlet and outlet. Work carefully to prevent chemical
spillage.
4. Detach and remove the unfixed pump.
5. Direct the outlet downwards to run off liquid in the
container.
