Reassembly – Overmolded Diaphragms
1.
Lubricate and install the shaft u–cup packings (402*) so
the lips face out of the housing (1). See F
2.
Assemble the air side plate (104) onto the diaphragm
(403). The wide, radiused side of the plate must face the
diaphragm. Apply medium–strength (blue) Loctite or
equivalent to the threads of the diaphragm assembly.
Screw the assembly into the shaft (24) hand–tight.
3.
Grease the length and ends of the diaphragm shaft (24).
Insert the shaft/diaphragm assembly into one side of the
pump. Align the fluid cover (101) and the center housing
so the arrow (A) faces the same direction as the air
valve. Secure the cover with the screws (107 and 108),
handtight.
4.
Torque the longer screws (108) oppositely and evenly to
21–25 N•m (190–220 in–lb), using a 13mm socket
wrench. Then torque the shorter screws (107). See
Diaphragm Kits, page 29.
5.
Assemble the other diaphragm assembly to the shaft as
explained in step 2. This diaphragm will be lifted off the
air cover at this point.
6.
Supply the pump with low pressure air (less than 0.5 bar
[0.05 MPa, 7 psi]). The diaphragm will very slowly pull
onto the air cover. Find the pressure that keeps the
diaphragm close enough to secure with the screws, but
does not let it contact the pilot pin.
NOTE: Do not deform the diaphragm manually. The
diaphragm needs uniform pressure to deform properly for
maximum life.
7.
Align the fluid cover (101) and the center housing (1) so
the arrow (A) faces the same direction as the air valve.
Secure the cover with two of the longer screws (108),
handtight.
NOTE: If the diaphragm contacts the pilot pin and is forced
away from the air cover, try Step 5 again. If necessary, return
to Step 3.
8.
Torque the longer screws (108) oppositely and evenly to
21–25 N•m (190–220 in–lb), using a 13mm socket
wrench. Then torque the shorter screws (107). See
Diaphragm Kits, page 29.
9.
Reassemble the ball check valves and manifolds as
explained on page 18.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, including amputation,
do not put your fingers or hand between the air cover and
the diaphragm.
