1.0 Introduction Thank you for purchasing a TopAir Diaphragm Pump. This product is a positive-displacement pump that transfers fluids by movement of diaphragms driven by compressed air through a unique switching mechanism. The casing that comes in contact with the fluid is made of aluminium, stainless steel, forged iron, polypropylene or fluorine resin, depending on the model you have selected, according to the type of fluid to be pumped.
5.0 Operating caution Before using this product Warning • When using compressed gas (hereinafter called “compressed air”) to drive this pump, be sure it is one of the following: Compressed air supplied from an air compressor Nitrogen (N ) gas Use of compressed air other than the above may cause air pollution, damage to the pump, or even an explosion.

• Improper grounding,poor ventilation,or unshielded fire or spark can create a danger of fire or explosion. Therefore, the following precautions are strongly advised: All peripheral equipment and piping connected to this product should be properly grounded. To pump flammable liquids, use a model with an aluminium or stainless-steel casing. Whenever you notice any spark while operating this product, immediately stop its operation, and do NOT start using it again unless you are sure of the cause and corrective actions have been taken.
• Before using this product, be sure you are familiar with the precautions regarding the fluid to be pumped, and verify the corrosion resistance of the parts that will come into contact with the fluid. NEVER use the product with any fluid against which it does not have sufficient corrosion resistance or with a fluid that poses a risk of explosion.

8.0 Assembly Installation of accessories 1. Remove all packing materials immediately after reception. Check the consignment for damage immediately on arrival and make dure that the name plate/type designation is in accordance with the packing slip and your order. 2. Attach the air valve and the silencer (nipple) (see 7.0 and 20.0). Caution •...
9.0. Installation Method of transport • When lifting the pump using a chain host or crane before transporting it, be sure to lift it by the specified lift point (see 7.0 Names of parts and materials). Warning • Be careful that nobody will pass under the pump when you lift it. It would be very dangerous if the pump should fall.

10.0 Connection 10.1 Connecting fluid piping 1) Connect a flow valve and a drain valve to the fluid discharge port of the pump. 2) Connect a valve for maintenance to the fluid suction intake port of the pump. 3) Connect a hose to the valve on the suction-port side and the valve of the discharge-port side of the pump.
10.2 Connecting air piping Warning Before starting work, make sure that the air compressor is shut off. 1) Connect an air valve, air filter, regulator and if necessary lubricator (hereinafter called the “peripheral equipment”) to hose which connected to compressor. Refer (NOTE) for detail information.
11.0 Operation 11.1 Method of operation Caution • Before starting the pump, make sure that all piping is properly connected. • Also, before starting the pump, make sure that all the bolts are securely tightened. (Refer to the maintenance manual for the bolts that a regulation torque are explained). •...
11.3 Shutdown Close the air valve of the pump and shut off the supply air. Caution • There is no problem in shutting down the pump with the flow valve closed while air is being supplied; however, if this condition continues for many hours while there is nobody watching the pump, it may continue running when there is a leak from the pump or piping, and fluid may continue flowing out of the position of leakage.
12.0 Method of cleaning Caution • Before starting operation, make sure that compressed air is not supplied to the pump. • Before starting operation, make sure that the pump is not pressurised. 1) Remove the hose from the suction side of the pump. 2) Close the flow valve on the discharge side, open the drain valve, and then operate a pump by starting air pressure for a while to discharge any fluid remaining inside the pump as much as possible.
14.0 Trouble shooting Cause Action to be taken Pump does not rum The exhaust port (silencer) of pump is Check and clean the exhaust port and clogged with sludge. silencer. Air is not supplied. Start the compressor and open the air valve and air regulator.
