Installation Piping Whenever possible ensure the pump is installed using the shortest possible pipe lengths with the minimum amount of pipe fittings. Ensure all piping is supported independent of the pump. Suction and discharge piping should not be smaller than the connection size of the pump. When pumping liquids of high viscosity, larger piping may be used, in order to reduce frictional pipe loss. Employ flexible hoses in order to eliminate the vibration caused by the pump. Mounting feet can also be used to reduce vibration effects. All hoses should be reinforced, non-collapsible and be capable of high vacuum service. Ensure that all piping and hoses are chemically compatible with the process and cleaning fluid. For processes where pulsation effects should be reduced, employ a pulsation dampener on the discharge side of the pump. For self-priming applications, ensure all connections are airtight and the application is within the pumps dry-lift capability. Refer to product specifications for further details. For flooded suction applications, install a gate valve on the suction piping in order to facilitate service. For unattended flooded suction operation, it is recommended to pipe the exhaust air above the liquid source. In the event of a diaphragm failure this will reduce or eliminate the possibility of liquid discharging through the exhaust onto the ground. Location Ensure that the pump is installed in an accessible location, in order to facilitate future service and maintenance. Air Ensure that the air supply is sufficient for the volume of air required by the pump. Refer to product specifications for further details. For reliable operation, install a 5 micron air filter, air-valve and pressure regulator. Do not exceed the pumps maximum operating pressure of 120 psig. Remote Operation Utilize a three way solenoid valve for remote operation. This ensures that air between the solenoid and the pump is allowed to “bleed off,” ensuring reliable operation. Liquid transfer volume is estimated by multiplying displacement per stroke times the number of strokes per minute Noise Correct installation of the muffler reduces sound levels. Refer to product specifications for further details. Submerged Operation For submersible operation, pipe the air exhaust to atmosphere...
Installation SELF PRIMING APPLICATION Suction lift capability may vary depending on the construction materials and application parameters. The range is from 16.4 feet dry to 30 feet in a primed condition (values calculated for pumping water at 68 degrees Fahrenheit). SUBMERGED OPERATION All pumps may operate in full submersion. Construction materials must be compatible with surrounding liquid and the air exhaust must be placed above the liquid level. POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD Common as a method of drawing off the bottoms of holding tanks and clarifiers. Optimum inlet pressure should be kept at 14.5 PSI. 13966-Txxx_Rev_D_21NOV2016...

Operation CAUTION Before starting the pump, check that all piping is properly connected. Before starting the pump, check that all the bolts are securely tightened. Check that the regulator and the drain valve on the discharge side are closed and that the valve on the suction side is opened if applicable.
Maintenance Cleaning the Pump WARNING Make sure that compressed air is not supplied to the pump BEFORE you start cleaning the pump. Make sure that the pump is not pressurized BEFORE you start cleaning the pump. 1) Remove the hose from the suction side of the pump. 2) Close the flow valve on the discharge side and open the drain valve. Then start air pressure for a while to discharge possibly much fluid remaining inside the pump. 3) Remove the hose from the discharge side, and attach different hoses to the suction side and the discharge side for cleaning.
Shutdown Close the air valve of the pump and shut off the supply air. CAUTION The pump can be shut down with the flow valve closed while air is being supplied. However DO NOT leave the pump in this condition for many hours without supervision - there is a risk of a leak from the pump or piping, and fluid may continue flowing out of the position of leakage.
