Safety Information
IMPORTANT WARNING
Read the safety warnings and instructions in this manual When used for toxic or aggressive fluids, the pump should
before pump installation and start-up. Failure to comply with always be flushed clean prior to disassembly.
the recommendations stated in this manual could damage the
pump and void factory warranty.
Before maintenance or repair, shut off the compressed air line,
When the pump is used for materials that tend to settle out bleed the pressure, and disconnect the air line from the pump.
or solidify, the pump should be flushed after each use to Be certain that approved eye protection and protective clothing
prevent damage. In freezing temperatures the pump should be are worn at all times. Failure to follow these recommendations

must be piped to an appropriate area for safe containment.
2. ATEX compliant pumps are suitable for use in explosive atmospheres when the equipment is properly grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes
3. Conductive Polypropylene, conductive Acetal or conductive PVDF pumps are not to be installed in applications where the
pumps may be subjected to oil, greases and hydraulic liquids.
4. When operating pumps equipped with non-conductive diaphragms that exceed the maximum permissible projected area,
as defined in EN ISO 80079-36 : 2016 section 6.7.5 table 8, the following protection methods must be applied
- Equipment is always used to transfer electrically conductive fluids or
- Explosive environment is prevented from entering the internal portions of the pump, i.e. dry running.
Note: The ambient temperature range and the process temperature range should not exceed the operating
temperature range of the applied plastic parts as listed in the manuals of the pumps.

Air Supply
Connect the pump air inlet to an air supply with sufficient capacity and pressure to achieve desired performance. A pressure regulating valve should be installed to
insure air supply pressure does not exceed recommended limits.
Suction line is blocked. Remove or flush obstruction. Check and clear all suction screens or strainers.
Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, filling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.
Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.
Pumped fluid in air exhaust muffler. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.
Pump Cycles Running Over lubrication. Set lubricator on lowest possible setting or remove. Units are designed for lube free operation.
Sluggish/Stalling, Icing. Remove muffler screen, de-ice, and re-install. Install a point of use air drier.

Cavitation on suction side. Check suction (move pump closer to product).
Lack of air (line size, PSI, CFM). Check the air line size, length, compressor capacity.
Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, filling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.
Air supply pressure or volume exceeds system hd. Decrease inlet air (press. and vol.) to the pump. Pump is cavitating the fluid by fast cycling.
Undersized suction line. Meet or exceed pump connections.
Restrictive or undersized air line. Install a larger air line and connection.
Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.
Suction line is blocked. Remove or flush obstruction. Check and clear all suction screens or strainers.
Pumped fluid in air exhaust muffler. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.
Check valve obstructed. Disassemble the wet end of the pump and manually dislodge obstruction in the check valve pocket.
Check valve and/or seat is worn or needs adjusting. Inspect check valves and seats for wear and proper setting. Replace if necessary.
Entrained air or vapor lock in chamber(s). Purge chambers through tapped chamber vent plugs. Purging the chambers of air can be dangerous.
Product Leaking Diaphragm failure, or diaphragm plates loose. Replace diaphragms, check for damage and ensure diaphragm plates are tight.
Through Exhaust Diaphragm stretched around center hole or bolt holes. Check for excessive inlet pressure or air pressure. Consult Chemical Resistance Chart for compatibility
with products, cleaners, temperature limitations and lubrication.
Premature Diaphragm Cavitation. Enlarge pipe diameter on suction side of pump.
Failure Excessive flooded suction pressure. Move pump closer to product. Raise pump/place pump on top of tank to reduce inlet pressure.
Install Back pressure device (Tech bulletin 41r). Add accumulation tank or pulsation dampener.
Misapplication (chemical/physical incompatibility). Consult Chemical Resistance Chart for compatibility with products, cleaners, temperature limitations
and lubrication.
Incorrect diaphragm plates or plates on backwards, Check Operating Manual to check for correct part and installation. Ensure outer plates have not been
installed incorrectly or worn. worn to a sharp edge.
Unbalanced Cycling Excessive suction lift. For lifts exceeding 20’ of liquid, filling the chambers with liquid will prime the pump in most cases.
Undersized suction line. Meet or exceed pump connections.
Pumped fluid in air exhaust muffler. Disassemble pump chambers. Inspect for diaphragm rupture or loose diaphragm plate assembly.
Suction side air leakage or air in product. Visually inspect all suction-side gaskets and pipe connections.
Check valve obstructed. Disassemble the wet end of the pump and manually dislodge obstruction in the check valve pocket.
Check valve and/or seat is worn or needs adjusting. Inspect check valves and seats for wear and proper setting. Replace if necessary.
