page 17 of 24 Cleaning and inspecting the pump heads: ➨ Use open-ended wrench, remove the screw-in fittings together with the hose from all pump heads. ➨ To check the valves use hex key to remove four socket- head screws from pump head and remove housing cover with head cover, valves and O-ring (MD 4 / MV 2 only).
Page 18
page 18 of 24 ☞ Check diaphragm for damage and replace if necessary. ➨ To do so use Phillips screw driver to remove four counter- sunk head screws and lift off housing plate with rating plate. ☞ Use petroleum ether or industrial solvent to remove depos- its if necessary.

Optimum torque for the diaphragm support disc: 6 Nm. ☞ The optimum torque is achieved if the pointer in the handle of the VACUUBRAND face wrench shows to the longer mark- ing line. Assembling pump heads: ➨ By turning eccentric bushing (front of connecting rod), bring connecting rod into a position in which diaphragm is in con- tact with housing and centred with respect to bore.
