GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

FOR THIS PRODUCT

WARNING

•Poor wiring can result in electric shock. Wiring
must conform to all required safety codes and be
installed by a qualified person. Refer to wiring
diagram on page 8.

•Always disconnect power source before servicing.

CAUTION

•Required ambient temperature is -10OF to 150OF.
Operation at temperatures outside this range, will
reduce the life of the pump.

Lower atmospheric pressure at high altitudes lowers perfor­mance. Consult a Gast distributor for details.

Never lubricate this oil-less pump. The sealed bearings are
grease-packed. Introducing petroleum based or hydrocarbon
products will reduce the service life of the diaphragm and valve.

Ensure that nothing will interfere with the movement of the
eccentric. While not dangerous, the eccentric must move freely
to allow the pump to operated properly.

MOUNTING

To reduce noise and vibration, use Velcro or a vibration-isolated
mounting surface.

PLUMBING

To prevent air flow restriction, use an elastic hose of the same
size as the hose port. These ports are not designed to support
plumbing.

FILTERS

Avoid unfiltered operation in an environment where there is
visible airborne particulate material. Use a suitable filter to
avoid ingesting dirt/metal or other foreign material into the
pump.

WIRING

Ensure that the supply voltage agrees with the pump operating
voltage. Remove power to the pump if the motor fails to start or
stops under load. Warming the pump to a minimum of -10 F in
extremely cold weather will ease starting and extend the life of
the pump.

OPERATION

General recommendations for operation:
Avoid operating the pump at temperatures less than -10oF or
greater than 150oF.

Draw through the pump only those substances which do not
react with PPS or EPDM (diaphragm and valve material).

•Do not block the flow of cooling air over the pump
in any way.

•This unit is designed to pump gases only.
Ingestion of dirt, metal, water, or petroleum-based
contaminants will reduce the life of the pump.

Avoid unfiltered operation in an environment where there is
visible airborne particulate matter.

Avoid ingesting dirt into the pump.

Following these basic recommendations will avoid damage to
the pump and may extend its operating life.

MAINTENANCE

Do not attempt to replace the connecting rod or motor bearings.
If after cleaning the unit and/or installing a new valve, the unit still
does not operate properly, contact your representative, or the
factory, or return the pump to an Authorized Service Facilities.

DC WIRING

RED/WHITE (

+)

Before attempting repair, determine if the pump has been
exposed to/or contains biological, toxic, or radioactive materials,
so that the repair personnel are not exposed to these items.

Follow these steps to replace the valve:

1) Disconnect pump from electrical power.

WARNING

Always disconnect power source before servicing. Failure to do
so can result in personal injury and/or property damage.

2) Vent all air lines to the pump to remove pressure.

3) Note the direction of the arrows so you can orient the pump
head correctly during reinstallation.

4) Remove the four corner head screws and remove the head,
valve, and valve plate.

5) Clean the pump head and valve plate using water-based
solvents.

6) Ensure the diaphragm is centered in the recessed area of the
bracket with no bends or folds.

7) Place the new valve on the valve plate so that the holes in the
valve fit over the correct pins in the valve plate.

8) Assemble the head by fitting the correct holes in the head
onto the pins in the valve plate.

9) Place the entire head, valve, and valve plate assembly on top
of the bracket, by aligning the four holes and orienting the ports
in your desired position.

10) Torque the head screws to 17 to 21 in-oz. into the body.

CAUTION

Do not over-tighten head screw(s). To do so can risk stripping
the plastic threads.
