WARNING ! Always wear appropriate clothing and equipment, such as eye protection and breathing apparatus, to protect yourself. WARNING ! Improper handling, splashing in the eyes, ingestion, or bodily contamination of hazardous fluids or inhaling toxic vapors can cause extremely serious injury or death. Observe all the following precautions when handling known or potentially hazardous fluids.

We pack the pumps into carton boxes. Figure 4 – Pump package. Pump package must be at least 300 grams and produced from the kraft carton.
5.0. MOUNTING AND CONNECTION OF DIAPHRAGM PUMP Pump should fixed firmly to the ground or platform and should be fitted in a perpendicular position as shown in Figure 5. Never place the pump at an angle, lying on the ground or upside down.

5.2. Tightening the bolts before first use After you unpack the pump, and before you use it for the first time, check and tighten external fasteners. Tighten the fluid cover screws first, then the manifold screws. (Refer to Figure 6 for torque figures).

Figure 8a- Typical installation scheme 5.5. Fluıd lıne 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.

Caution. It is advisable to install a pressure relief system (bypass line)to relieve high levels of pressure that may occur if the pump is pressurised for a long period when not operating. On some uncontrolled systems the back pressure generated from a closed outlet hose can cause the pump to stop or even reverse operation.
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.

6.2 Starting and adjusting the pump 1- Check pump grounding before use. 2- Check fittings to be sure they are tight. Use a compatible liquid thread sealant (PTFE, etc.) on male threads. Tighten fluid inlet and outlet fittings securely. 3- Submerge the suction hose in the fluid. Note: 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.
7.0 ASSEMBLY AND DISMANTLING OF PARTS WARNING: Before service and maintenance always relieve the air and fluid pressure. The explanation uses figures defined in part (7.0) line (12) fig. 13a. 7.1.

7.3 Air valve repair Tools Required - 5 mm allen key - 10 mm wrench - Philips-head screwdriver - Lithium-base grease (non-freezing silicone grease) NOTE: Hold the air valve vertical position if the core is sliding with its own weight in the valve body, valve z-rings need to be changed.
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.
8.6 Troubleshooting PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION 1- Pump cycles at stall or fails to hold Worn check valve balls, seats or o-rings. Replace. pressure at stall. Disassamble and clean air valve. Air valve is stuck or dirty. Use ONLY filtered air. Check valve ball severely worn and Replace ball and seat.
