7.2. Changing diaphragm
Tools Required
-
Lithium-base grease (non-freezing silicone grease)
-
13 mm wrench
-
5 mm allen key
-
10 mm wrench
-
Torque wrench
1-
Relieve the pressure.
2-
Remove the manifolds and disassemble the ball check valves as explained in
Ball Check
Valve Repair
section.
3-
Using a 5 mm allen key, remove the bolts holding the fluid covers to the main covers. Pull the
fluid covers off the pump.
4-
Loosen both the diaphragm shaft bolts using a 13 mm wrench, and remove one bolt but not
both.
5-
Remove o-
ring, Teflon® diaphragm (if applicable) and rubber diaphragm.
6-
Pull the other diaphragm assembly and the diaphragm shaft out of the center housing. Hold
the shaft with a 13 mm open
–end wrench, and remove the bolt from the shaft.
7-
Disassemble the remaining diaphragm assembly.
8-
Inspect the diaphragm shaft for wear or scratches. If it is damaged, inspect the bearings in
place.
9-
Remove the tap which holds the pilot shaft and diaphragm shaft.
10-
Clean all parts and inspect for wear or damage.
11-
There is text on the air side of the diaphragm.
12-
Grease the diaphragm shaft lightly.
13-
In the Teflon Diaphragmed pumps, Rubber diaphragm is protected by putting a teflon
diaphragm to the side that meets the fluid.
14-
Re-assemble the parts in reverse order.
15-
Tighten the screws applying the proper torque from the torque chart. (Fig. 6)
Figure 11- Diaphragm change
WARNING!
Transferred liquid enters the air chamber of the pump when the
diaphragm ruptures. Liquid can damage the pilot valve o-rings and
the air valve o-rings due to its chemical behaviour. For this reason
you must check and replace (if needed) the o-rings while you are
changing the diaphragm. If only the diaphragm is changed that will
not constitute good maintenance and you can have a pump
problem soon.
