Introduction
The Tapflo Electro-Mechanic Operated Diaphragm Pump range is a series of pumps for
industrial and hygienic applications. The pumps are designed to be safe, simple and easy to
use and maintain. The pumps are suitable for almost all different chemicals used by the
industry today.
The pumps are powered with an electric motor which is coupled with the diaphragm shaft.
To decrease the motor rotational speed a gearbox is used. This provides smooth and almost
pulsation free operation.
With proper attention to maintenance, Tapflo Pumps will give efficient and trouble free
operation. This instruction manual will familiarise operators with detailed information about
installing, operating and maintaining of the pump.
When installing, operating and maintaining of the pump unit you must strictly follow the
IOM manual. Otherwise injury or life hazard may occur.
In case any instructions in this manual are unclear or any information is missing, please
contact Tapflo before handling the pump.
