CAUTION:
The air exhaust
should be piped to an area
for safe disposition of the
product being pumped, in the
event of a diaphragm failure.
Available Accessories:
1. Surge Suppressor
2. Filter/Regulator
3. Air Dryer
Note:
Surge Suppressor and
Piping must be supported
after the flexible connection
INSTALLATION AND START-UP:
Locate the pump as close to the product being pumped as
possible. Keep the suction line length and number of fittings to a minimum. Do not reduce the
suction line diameter.
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.
AIR VALVE LUBRICATION:
The air distribution system is designed to operate WITHOUT lubrication.
This is the standard mode of operation. If lubrication is desired, install an air line lubricator set to
deliver one drop of SAE 10 non-detergent oil for every 20 SCFM (9.4 liters/sec.) of air the pump
consumes. Consult the Performance Curve to determine air consumption.
AIR LINE MOISTURE:
Water in the compressed air supply may cause icing or freezing of the
exhaust air, causing the pump to cycle erratically or stop operating. Water in the air supply can be
reduced by using a point-of-use air dryer.
AIR INLET AND PRIMING:
To start the pump, slightly open the air shut-off valve. After the pump
primes, the air valve can be opened to increase air flow as desired. If opening the valve increases
cycling rate, but does not increase the rate of flow, cavitation has occurred. The valve should be
closed slightly to obtain the most efficient air flow to pump flow ratio.
