-
17 mm wrench
- 15 mm wrench
-
32 mm wrench
-
torque wrench
-
Philips-head screwdriver
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 17 mm wrench, 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 32 mm wrench, and remove one bolt but not
both.
5-
Remove o-ring, PTFE diaphragm (if there is) and rubber diaphragm.
6-
Pull the other diaphragm assembly and the diaphragm shaft out of the center housing. Hold
the shaft with a 32 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 PTFE Diaphragmed pumps, the rubber diaphragm is protected by putting the PTFE
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. 7)

WARNING!
Transferred liquid goes into air chamber of 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 be correct
maintenance and you can have a pump problem quickly.
