IMPORTANT
Read the safety warnings and instructions in this manual before pump installation and start-up. Failure to comply with the recommendations stated in this manual could damage the pump and void factory warranty.
When used for toxic or aggressive fluids, the pump should always be flushed clean prior to disassembly.
Airborne particles and loud noise hazards. Wear eye and ear protection.
Before maintenance or repair, shut off the compressed air line, bleed the pressure, and disconnect the air line from the pump. Be certain that approved eye protection and protective clothing are worn at all times. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in serious injury or death.
To be fully groundable, the pumps must be ATEX Compliant. Refer to the nomenclature page for ordering information.
Optional 8 foot long (244 centimeters) Ground Strap is available for easy ground connection.
To reduce the risk of static electrical sparking, this pump must be grounded. Check the local electrical code for detailed grounding instruction and the type of equipment required.
Refer to nomenclature page for ordering information.
When the pump is used for materials that tend to settle out or solidify, the pump should be flushed after each use to prevent damage. In freezing temperatures the pump should be completely drained between uses.
Before pump operation, inspect all fasteners for loosening caused by gasket creep. Retighten loose fasteners to prevent leakage. Follow recommended torques stated in this manual.
CAUTION
WARNING
Nonmetallic pumps and plastic components are not UV stabilized. Ultraviolet radiation can damage these parts and negatively affect material properties. Do not expose to UV light for extended periods of time.
In the event of diaphragm rupture, pumped material may enter the air end of the pump, and be discharged into the atmosphere. If pumping a product that is hazardous or toxic, the air exhaust must be piped to an appropriate area for safe containment.
This pump is pressurized internally with air pressure during operation. Make certain that all fasteners are in good condition and are reinstalled properly during reassembly.
Take action to prevent static sparking. Fire or explosion can result, especially when handling flammable liquids. The pump, piping, valves, containers and other miscellaneous equipment must be properly grounded.
Safety Information
Grounding the Pump
WARNINGTake action to prevent static sparking. Fire or explosion can result, especially when handling flammable liquids. The pump, piping, valves, containers or other miscellaneous equipment must be grounded.

Air-OperatedDoubleDiaphragm(AODD)pumpsarepoweredby compressed air, nitrogen or natural gas.
The main directional (air) control valve ① distributes compressedairtoanairchamber,exertinguniformpressureover the inner surface of the diaphragm ②. At the same time, theexhaustingair③ from behind the opposite diaphragm isdirectedthroughtheairvalveassembly(s)toanexhaust port ④.
As inner chamber pressure (P1)exceedsliquidchamberpressure (P2), the rod ⑤ connected diaphragms shift together creating discharge on one side and suction on the opposite side. The discharged and primed liquid’s directions arecontrolledbythecheckvalves(ballorflap)⑥ orientation.
The pump primes as a result of the suction stroke. The suctionstrokelowersthechamberpressure(P3) increasing the chamber volume. This results in a pressure differential necessary for atmospheric pressure (P4)topushthefluidthrough the suction piping and across the suction side check valveandintotheouterfluidchamber⑦.
Suction (side) stroking also initiates the reciprocating (shifting, stroking or cycling) action of the pump. The suction diaphragm’s movement is mechanically pulled through its stroke.Thediaphragm’sinnerplatemakescontactwithanactuator plunger aligned to shift the pilot signaling valve. Once actuated, the pilot valve sends a pressure signal to the opposite end of the main directional air valve, redirecting the compressed air to the opposite inner chamber.
