Process PumpSafety InstructionsThese safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/orequipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard bylabels of "Caution", "Warning" or "Danger". To ensure safety, be sure toobserve ISO 4413 Note 1) , ISO 4414 Note 2) , JIS B 8361 Note 3) , JIS B 8370 Note 4) , JISZ 9102 Note 5) and other safety practices.CautionWarning: Operator error could result in injury or equipment damage.: Operator error could result in serious injury or loss of life.Danger: In extreme conditions, there is a possible result of serious injury or loss of life.Note 1) ISO 4413: Hydraulic fluid power – General rules for the application of equipment to transmission and contorolsystems.Note 2) ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power – General rules relating to systems.Note 3) JIS B 8361: General Rules for Hydraulic SystemsNote 4) JIS B 8370: General Rules for Pneumatic EquipmentNote 5) JIS Z 9102: Piping identification markingsWarning1. The compatibility of the equipment is the responsibility of the person whodesigns the system or decides its specifications.Since the products specified here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility for thespecific system must be based on specifications or post analysis and/or tests to meet the specificrequirements. The expected performance and safety assurance are the responsibility of the personwho has determined the compatibility of the system. This person should continuously review thesuitability of all items specified, referring to the latest catalogue information with a view to giving dueconsideration to any possibility of equipment failure when configuring a system. Be particularly carefulin determining the compatibility with the fluid to be used.2. Only trained personnel should operate machinery and equipment.The fluid can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Assembly, handling or repair of the systems shouldbe performed by trained and experienced operators.3. Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components untilthe safety is confirmed.1. Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed once measures toprevent falling or runaway of the driven objects have been confirmed. Measures to prevent dangerfrom a fluid should also be confirmed.2. When equipment is removed, confirm the safety process as mentioned above. Release the fluidpressure and be certain there is no danger from fluid leakage or fluid remaining in the system.3. Carefully restart the machinery, confirming that safety measures are being implemented.4. Do not use the product if it will use in an of the following conditions:1. Conditions or environments beyond the specifications given in the catalogue and instruction manual.2. With fluids whose application causes concern due to the type of fluid or additives, etc.3. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation, vehicles,medical equipment, food and beverages, recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, clutch andbrake circuits in press applications, or safety equipment.4. An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property, requiringspecial safety analysis.Back page 2
