AIR AND LUBE REQUIREMENTS

WARNING EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause pump

damage, personal injury or property damage.

A filter capable of filtering out particles larger than 50 microns

should be used on the air supply. In most applications there is no

lubrication required other than the O" ring lubricant which is ap

plied during assembly or repair.

The pump can be rotated 360_ to suit the application. It may be

mounted upside down or on the wall with no effect on suction lift or

operating efficiency. The filter and regulator need to be oriented in a

normal vertical direction to function properly.

Pipe plugs are included for the material inlets. They can be

switched to accommodate piping requirements. However, the fluid

inlet must always be in the port closest to the mounting base.

When lubricated air is necessary, supply the air lubricator with a

good grade of SAE 90 wt. non detergent oil and set the lubricator to

a rate not to exceed one drop per minute.

INSTALLATION

NOTICE: Re torque fasteners prior to use. Refer to step #18 on

page 6 for information.

Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to threads upon assembly to pre

vent leakage.

Secure the diaphragm pump legs to a suitable surface to insure

against damage by vibration.

To avoid problems, install a particle fluid filter to screen out foreign

matter 1/32" (.79 mm) or larger in diameter.

The pump is not recommended for submerged applications.

When the diaphragm pump is used in a forced feed (flooded inlet)

situation, it is recommended that a Check Valve" be installed at the

air inlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Always flush the pump with a solvent compatible with the material

being pumped, if the material being pumped is subject to ``setting

up" when not in use for a period of time.

Disconnect the air supply from the pump if it is to be inactive for a

few hours.

The outlet material volume is governed not only by the air supply,

but also by the material supply available at the inlet. The material

supply tubing should not be too small or restrictive. Be sure not to

use hose which might collapse.

MAINTENANCE

Refer to the part list on page 4 for Service Kit Information, parts view on

page 5 and Repair Procedures on page 6.

Certain ARO Smart Parts" are indicated which should be available

for fast repair and reduction of down time.

Service kits are divided to service two separate diaphragm pump

functions: 1. Air Section, 2. Fluid Section. The Fluid Section is di

vided further to match typical part Material Options.

Provide a clean work surface to protect sensitive internal moving

parts from contamination from dirt and foreign matter during ser

vice disassembly and reassembly.

Keep good records of service activity and include pump in preven

tive maintenance program.
