5.0. MOUNTING AND CONNECTION OF DIAPHRAGM PUMP A typical setup configuration is shown in figure 7. Further information and consultation on pump setup can be provided by your Ran Pump distributor. ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL RAN PUMP PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE Pump should fixed firmly to the ground or platform and should be fitted in a perpendicular position as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 8a - Typical installation scheme 5.5. FLUID LINE 5.5.1. Fluid suction line 1- Use a conductive hose or pipe. 2- Screw fluid fitting into the pump inlet tightly. 3- If the inlet fluid pressure is more than 25% of the outlet working pressure, ball check valves will not close fast enough, result will be inefficient pump operation.
Page 11
5.6.2. For Air or Fluid Hoses: Use hoses that are at most 150 m long and that can be grounded. CAUTION ! To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump and all other equipment used or located in the pumping area.
Page 12
WARNING ! When you are transferring hazardous fluids or the pump temperature is over 60C, operator has to make precautions to drain the fluid. WARNING ! FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD If you are working with flammable fluids, be sure to take precautions around the pump while cooling it.
Page 13
WARNING ! Do not run the pump before you make sure all the adjustments are 6.3. Stopping the pump Cut off the air when the pump is not working. WARNING ! PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD The equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To reduce the risk of serious injury from pressurized fluid, accidental spray from the gun or splashing fluid, follow Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you...

Figure 12a- Pilot valve repair 8.0 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 8.1 Cleaning and storage of the pump Do not let your fluid dry in the pump or in the hoses. It may harm the pump. Clean the pump regularly by pumping a suitable solvent for your fluid until the pump is cleaned. Make sure the fluids you are using are compatible with your diaphragm material.
