Introduction
Thank you for Purchasing this our company Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump. Diaphragm Pumps fall under the
positive-displacement pump category. They are powered by compressed air and transfer liquids through the movement
of 2 diaphragms connected by a center shaft. The pump runs through the use of an air switching mechanism which
diverts air to each diaphragm in turn on a continuous fashion. Depending on the liquid to be transferred, pumps are
available in a variety of body materials including; aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, polypropylene, polyvinylidene
fluoride. The diaphragms and valves within the pump are also available in various rubber, plastic and thermoplastic
elastomers each with its own chemical resistance properties.
While pump is in operation do not cover the liquid inlet port with your hand or any another part of your body.
If the pump has remained unused for a long period or if you have any kind of misgivings about running the pump please
consult with your local our company distributor or contact our company directly.
