CAUTION: Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) configured pumps should not be used in
temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F) or higher than
52°C (125°F).
CAUTION: Maximum temperature limits are based
upon mechanical stress only. Certain chemicals
will significantly reduce maximum safe operating
temperatures. Consult Chemical Resistance Guide
for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
WARNING: Prevent static sparking — If static
sparking occurs, fire or explosion could result.
Pump, valves and containers must be grounded
to a proper grounding point when handling
flammable fluids and whenever discharge of
static electricity is a hazard. Pumps must be
electrically grounded using the grounding
conductor provided. Improper grounding can
cause improper and dangerous operation.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air
supply pressure.
CAUTION: Always wear safety glasses when
operating pump. If diaphragm rupture occurs,
material being pumped may be forced out air
exhaust.
CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is
attempted, the compressed air line to the pump
should be disconnected and all air pressure
allowed to bleed from pump. Disconnect all
intake, discharge and air lines. Drain the pump by
turning it upside down and allowing any fluid to
flow into a suitable container.
CAUTION: Ensure that the gas supply line is clear
of debris. Use an in-line air filter. A 5μ (micron) air
filter is recommended.
NOTE: When installing PTFE diaphragms,
it is important to tighten the outer pistons
simultaneously (turning in opposite directions)
to ensure a tight fit. (See torque specifications)
NOTE: Some PTFE-fitted pumps come standard
from the factory with expanded PTFE gaskets
installed in the diaphragm bead of the liquid
chamber. PTFE gaskets cannot be re-used.
NOTE: Before starting disassembly, mark a line
from each liquid chamber to its corresponding air
chamber. This line will assist in proper alignment
during reassembly.
CAUTION: The process fluid and cleaning fluids
must be chemically compatible with all wetted
pump components. Consult Chemical Resistance
Guide.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 82°C (180°F) air inlet
temperature for all models.
CAUTION: Pumps should be thoroughly flushed
before installing into process lines.
WIL-17011-E-01 1 WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING, LLC
CAUTION: All CSA-certified pumps are fitted with
a single-point exhaust to route all exhaust gas
through the muffler exhaust port. The gas outlet

HOW IT WORKS—PUMP
The Wilden diaphragm pump is an air-operated, positive displacement, self-priming pump. These drawings show flow pattern
through the pump upon its initial stroke. It is assumed the pump has no fluid in it prior to its initial stroke.
FIGUR E 1 The air valve dire cts pre ssurized
air to the back side of diaphragm A. The
compressed air is applied directly to the
liquid column separated by elastomeric
diaphragms. The diaphragm ac ts as
a separation membrane bet ween the
compressed air and liquid; a balanced
load removes mechanical stress from the
diaphragm. The compressed air moves
the diaphragm away from the center of
the pump. The opposite diaphragm is
pulled in by the shaft connected to the
pressurized diaphragm. Diaphragm B
is on its suction stroke; air behind the
diaphragm has been forced out to the
atmosphere through the exhaust port of
the pump. The movement of diaphragm
B toward the center of the pump creates
a vacuum within chamber B. A tm ospheri c
pressure forces fluid into the inlet
manifold forcing the inlet valve ball off its
seat. Liquid is free to move past the inlet
valve ball and fill the liquid chamber (see
shaded area).
HOW IT WORKS—AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
FIGURE 2 When the pressurized
diaphragm, diaphragm A, reaches the limit
of its discharge stroke, the air valve redirects
pressurized air to the back side of diaphragm
B. The pressurized air forces diaphragm
B away from the center while pulling
diaphragm A to the center. Diaphragm B is
now on its discharge stroke. Diaphragm B
forc es the inlet valve b all onto its se at due to
the hydraulic forces developed in the liquid
chamber and manifold of the pump. These
same hydraulic forces lift the discharge
valve ball off its seat, while the opposite
discharge valve ball is forced onto its seat,
forcing fluid to flow through the pump
discharge. The movement of diaphragm A
toward the center of the pump creates a
vacuum within liquid chamber A. Atmospheric pressure forces fluid into the inlet
manifold of the pump. The inlet valve ball
is forced off its seat allowing the fluid
being pumped to fill the liquid chamber.
FIGURE 3 At completion of the stroke,
the air valve again redirects air to the
back side of diaphragm A, which starts
diaphragm B on its exhaust stroke. As
the pump reaches its original star ting
point, each diaphragm has gone through
one exhaust and one discharge stroke.
This constitutes one complete pumping
cycle. The pump may take several cycles
to completely prime depending on the
conditions of the application.
The heart of the patented Pro-Flo® SHIFT Air Distribution
System (ADS) is the air valve assembly. The air valve design
incorporates an unbalanced spool with the small end of the
spool being pressurized continuously while the large end of
the spool is alternately pressurized, then exhausted to move
the spool. The air valve spool directs pressurized air to one
chamber while exhausting the other. The air forces the main
shaft/diaphragm assembly to move to one side – discharging
liquid on that side and pulling liquid in on the other side. When
the shaft reaches the end of the stroke, the inner piston actuates
the pilot spool, which controls the air to the large end of the air
valve spool. The repositioning of the air valve spool routes the
air to the other air chamber. The air control spool allows air to
flow freely into the air chamber for the majority of each pump
stroke, but it significantly restricts the flow of air into the air
chamber when activated by the inner piston near the end of the
each stroke.

Section 6
CSA-CERTIFIED PUMP SUGGESTED INSTALLATION
Prior to pump installation, ensure that the flow and
suction lift requirements are within the pump model’s
capabilities. Refer to the Section 5, Performance of the
Engineering, Operation and Maintenance (EOM) Manual
for specific flow and suction-lift capabilities.
Before installation confirm that the pump materials of
construction are compatible with pumping application.
Refer to the Wilden Chemical Resistance Guide for
assistance with wetted path and elastomer options.
PIPING: The pump should be located so that the length
and complexity of the suction and discharge piping is
minimized. Unnecessary elbows, bends and fittings can
increase friction losses and should be avoided.
Pipe sizes should be selected to keep friction losses
within practical limits. The suction pipe diameter should
be equivalent or larger than the diameter of the suction
inlet on your Wilden pump. The suction hose must be noncollapsible, reinforced type as these pumps are capable of
pulling a high vacuum. Discharge piping should also be
the equivalent or larger than the diameter of the pump
discharge to help reduce friction losses.
All piping should be supported independently of the
pump. In addition, the piping should be correctly aligned
with the inlet and discharge connection of the pump to
avoid placing stress on the pump fittings. Flexible hose
can be installed to aid in absorbing the forces created by
the natural reciprocating action of the pump and will also
assist in minimizing pump vibration.
GAS SUPPLY: The pump should have a supply line large
enough (a 3/4” supply line is recommended for 1-1/2” and
larger pumps) to supply the volume of air necessary to
achieve the desired pumping rate. Gas pressure to the
pump should be controlled by a pressure-regulating valve
and should not exceed a maximum of 6.9 bar (100 psig).
It is suggested that a needle valve be placed in the supply
line to control the flow of gas to the pump. For best results,
a 5μ (micron) filter should be installed before the gas inlet
of the pump to eliminate the majority of compressed gas
line contaminants.
TYPE OF GAS: Sweet gas is required for natural gaspowered pumps. Please consult the factory if considering
using sour gas as levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may
cause unacceptable corrosion and chemical attack.
PUMP MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION: For simple
installation and removal of the pump shut-off valves
should be installed in the inlet and discharge plumbing.
If the pump is to be mounted in a fixed location, a mounting
pad placed between the pump and the foundation will
assist in minimizing pump vibration. If quick-closing
valves are installed at any point in the discharge system,
or if pulsation within a system becomes a problem, a
surge suppressor should be installed to protect the pump,
piping and gauges from surges and water hammer.
SOLIDS PASSAGE: All Wilden pumps are capable of
passing solids. A strainer should be used at the inlet of the
pump to ensure that the pump’s rated solids capabilities
are not exceeded. Refer to the Section 5 of this EOM
manual for specific solids-passage capabilities.
FLOODED SUCTION: Pumps in service with a positive
suction head are most efficient when the inlet pressure is
limited to 0.5–0.7 bar (7–10 psig). Premature diaphragm
failure may occur if positive suction is 0.7 bar (10 psig)
or higher.
SUCTION LIFT: When used in self-priming applications, it
is critical that all fittings and connections are airtight or a
reduction or loss of pump suction capability will result.
GAS OUTLET: All CSA-certified pumps are fitted with the
single point exhaust option so that all exhaust gases are
routed through the muffler plate exhaust port. The gas
outlet must be recaptured or vented to a safe location
in accordance with locally, nationally and/or industry
recognized codes.
GROUNDING: Pumps and accessories must be electrically
grounded to a proper grounding point to prevent an
accumulation of electro-static charge when used in
potentially explosive areas. CSA-certified pumps come
with a grounding strap and are fitted with a grounding
screw for the purpose of electrically grounding the
pump. Periodic inspection of the ground connection
should be performed to ensure the equipment is properly
grounded. Refer to the Wilden CE Safety Supplement
and Safety Manual for additional ATEX-certified pump
considerations.
FUNCTIONAL TESTING:
1. Tighten all hardware prior to initial start-up. Refer to
Section 7, Reassembly Hints & Tips in the EOM manual
for torque specifications.
2. Prior to pump installation connect compressed gas
line [do not exceed rated pressure of 6.9 bar (100
psig)] to gas inlet of pump to ensure that pump cycles
consistently.
3. Cycle pump for 2-3 minutes.
4. After pump installation, check piping connections for
leaks.
PUMP OPERATION:
1. To avoid damage to the pump new installations should
be checked for any debris in tank or piping system.
2. Once installation is complete, pump operation can
be started. Confirm the shut-off valves in the inlet
and discharge plumbing are open. Do not exceed the
pump’s maximum rated pressure of 6.9 bar (100 psig).
A pressure regulating valve and needle valve can be
used to adjust the speed of the pump.
3. Retighten all exposed fasteners after two (2) hours of
operation. Refer to Section 7, Reassembly Hints & Tips
in the EOM manual for torque specifications.

EMERGENCY SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE: In the case of
an emergency situation, the pump should be stopped
immediately. To stop the pump’s operation close the gas
shut–off valve (user-supplied). A properly functioning
valve will cut-off the gas supply, stopping the pump. The
shut-off valve should be located far enough away from
the pumping equipment such that it can be reached safely
in an emergency situation.
In the event of pump or diaphragm failure, close shut-off
valves at the inlet and discharge of pump to eliminate the
possibility of medium leakage
In the event of a power failure, the gas shut-off valve
should be closed, if restarting of the pump is not desirable
once power is regained.

Refer to the Wilden CE Safety Supplement, Safety Manual
and EOM Manual for additional information.
PRIOR TO MAINTENANCE: Before any maintenance is
performed, confirm pump is completely de-energized by
shutting off the pump and disconnecting the gas supply
line to the pump.
Refer to Section 7, Reassembly Hints & Tips and Section
8, Exploded View & Parts Listings in the EOM manual for
maintenance and spare parts information.
OPERATION: CSA -certified pumps are pre-lubricated,
and do not require in-line lubrication. Additional
lubrication will not damage the pump, however if the
pump is heavily lubricated by an external source, the
pump’s internal lubrication may be washed away. If
the pump is then moved to a non-lubricated location,
it may need to be disassembled and re-lubricated as
described in the DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY.
Pump discharge rate can be controlled by limiting
the volume and/or pressure of the air supply to the
pump. An air regulator is used to regulate air pressure.
A needle valve is used to regulate volume. Pump
discharge rate can also be controlled by throttling
the pump discharge by partially closing a valve in
the discharge line of the pump. This action increases
friction loss which reduces flow rate. (See Section 5.)
This is useful when the need exists to control the pump
from a remote location. When the pump discharge
pressure equals or exceeds the air supply pressure,
the pump will stop; no bypass or pressure relief valve
is needed, and pump damage will not occur. The
pump has reached a “deadhead” situation and can be
restarted by reducing the fluid discharge pressure or
increasing the air inlet pressure. CSA-certified pumps
run on pressurized sweet gas and do not generate
heat, therefore your process fluid temperature will not
be affected.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS: Since each
application is unique, maintenance schedules may
be different for every pump. Frequency of use, line
pressure, viscosity and abrasiveness of process fluid
all affect the parts life of a Wilden pump. Periodic
inspections have been found to offer the best
means for preventing unscheduled pump downtime.
Personnel familiar with the pump’s construction and
service should be informed of any abnormalities that
are detected during operation.
RECORDS: When service is required, a record should
be made of all necessary repairs and replacements.
Over a period of time, such records can become a
valuable tool for predicting and preventing future
maintenance problems and unscheduled downtime. In
addition, accurate records make it possible to identify
pumps that are poorly suited to their applications.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Pump will not run or runs slowly.
1. Ensure that the gas inlet pressure is at least 0.4 bar
(5 psig) above startup pressure and that the differential
pressure (the difference between gas inlet and liquid
discharge pressures) is not less than 0.7 bar (10 psig).
2. Check air inlet filter for debris (see SUGGESTED
INSTALLATION).
3. Check for extreme gas leakage (blow by) that would
indicate worn seals /bores in the gas valve, pilot
spool and main shaft.
4. Disassemble pump and check for obstructions in
the gas passageways or objects that would obstruct
the movement of internal parts.
5. Check for sticking ball check valves. If material being
pumped is not compatible with pump elastomers,
swelling may occur. Replace ball check valves and
seals with proper elastomers. Also, as the check
valve balls wear out, they become smaller and can
become stuck in the seats. In this case, replace balls
and seats.
6. Check for broken inner pistons that will cause the
gas valve spool to be unable to shift.
Pump runs, but little or no product flows.
1. Check for pump cavitation; slow pump speed down
to allow thick material to flow into liquid chambers.
WIL-17011-E-01 11 WILDEN PUMP & ENGINEERING, LLC
2. Verify that vacuum required to lift liquid is not
greater than the vapor pressure of the material
being pumped (cavitation).
3. Check for sticking ball check valves. If material being
pumped is not compatible with pump elastomers,
swelling may occur. Replace ball check valves and
seats with proper elastomers. Also, as the check
valve balls wear out, they become smaller and can
become stuck in the seats. In this case, replace balls
and seats.
Pump gas valve freezes.
1. Check for excessive moisture in compressed
gas. Alternatively, a coalescing filter
may be used to remove the water from the
compressed gas in some applications.
Air bubbles in pump discharge.
1. Check for ruptured diaphragm.
2. Check tightness of outer pistons (refer to torque
specifications).
3. Check tightness of fasteners and integrity of O-rings
and seals, especially at intake manifold.
4. Ensure pipe connections are airtight.
Product comes out air exhaust.
1. Check for diaphragm rupture.
2. Check tightness of outer pistons to shaft.

Step 6
Remove air valve spool from air
valve body by threading one air valve
bolt into the end of the spool and
gently sliding the spool out of the air
valve body. Inspect seals for signs of
wear and replace entire assembly if
necessary. Use caution when handling
air valve spool to prevent damaging
seals. NOTE: Seals should not be
removed from assembly. Seals are not
sold separately.

Using an O-ring pick, gently remove the pilot
spool retaining O-ring from the opposite
side of the notched end of the spool. Gently
remove the pilot spool from pilot spool sleeve
and inspect for nicks, gouges and other
signs of wear. Replace pilot spool assembly
or outer sleeve O-rings if necessary. During
re-assembly never insert the pilot spool into
the sleeve with the “notched” end side first,
this end incorporates the urethane O-ring
and will be damaged as it slides over the
ports cut in the pilot spool sleeve.

REASSEMBLY HINTS & TIPS
RE A S SE M B LY:
Upon performing applicable maintenance to the air
distrib ution system, t he pump can now be re assembled .
Please refer to the disassembly instructions for photos
and parts placement. To reassemble the pump, follow
the disassembly instructions in reverse order. The air
distribution system needs to be assembled first, then
the diaphragms and finally the wetted path. Please
find the applicable torque specifications on this page.
The following tips will assist in the assembly process.
• Lubricate air valve bore, center section shaft
and pilot spool bore with NLGI grade 2 white EP
bearing grease or equivalent.
• Clean the inside of the center section shaft bore to ensure
no damage is done to new shaft seals.
• A small amount of NLGI grade 2 white EP bearing grease
can be applied to the muffler and air valve gaskets to
lubricate gaskets during assembly.
• Make sure that the exhaust port on the muffler plate is
centered between the two exhaust ports on the center
section.
• Stainless bolts should be lubed to reduce the possibility
of seizing during tightening.
• Use a mallet to tamp lightly on the large clamp bands to
seat the diaphragm before tightening.

SHAFT SEAL INSTALLATION:
PRE-INSTALLATION
• Once all of the old seals have been removed, the
inside of the bushing should be cleaned to ensure
no debris is left that may cause premature damage
to the new seals.
INSTALLATION
The following tools can be used to aid in the installation
of the new seals:
• Wrap electrical tape around each leg of the needle-nose
pliers (heat shrink tubing may also be used). This is done
to prevent damaging the inside surface of the new seal.
• With a new seal in hand, place the two legs of the
needle-nose pliers inside the seal ring. (See Figure A.)
• Open the pliers as wide as the seal diameter will allow,
then with two fingers pull down on the top portion of
the seal to form a kidney shape. (See Figure B.)
• Lightly clamp the pliers together to hold the seal into
the kidney shape. Be sure to pull the seal into as tight
of a kidney shape as possible, this will allow the seal to
travel down the bushing bore easier.
• With the seal clamped in the pliers, insert the seal into
the bushing bore and position the bottom of the seal
into the correct groove. Once the bottom of the seal is
seated in the groove, release the clamp pressure on the
pliers. This will allow the seal to partially snap back to its
original shape.
• After the pliers are removed, you will notice a slight
bump in the seal shape. Before the seal can be properly
resized, the bump in the seal should be removed as
much as possible. This can be done with either the
Phillips screwdriver or your finger. With either the side
of the screwdriver or your finger, apply light pressure
to the peak of the bump. This pressure will cause the
bump to be almost completely eliminated.
• Lubricate the edge of the shaft with
white EP bearing grease.
• Slowly insert the center shaft with a rotating motion.
This will complete the resizing of the seal.
• Perform these steps for the remaining seals.
