•For ease of operation and service, mount the pump
so the air valve cover (2), air inlet, and fluid inlet and
outlet ports are easily accessible.
Installation
In the step below, do not connect the quick-disconnect
coupler (D) on the air hose to the mating fitting on the
pump until you are ready to operate the pump. Connecting the coupler too early can result in unintentional operation of the pump, leading to serious injury from moving
parts, splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin, and contact with hazardous fluids.
2. Install a grounded, flexible air hose (A) between the
accessories and the 1/2 npt(f) pump air inlet (N).
See Fig. 5. Use a minimum 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) ID air
hose. Screw an air line quick disconnect coupler (D)
onto the end of the air hose (A), and screw the mating fitting into the pump air inlet snugly.
Fluid Suction Line
Air Line
A bleed-type master air valve (B) is required in the system to relieve air trapped between this valve and the
pump. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury, including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, injury from moving
parts, or contamination from hazardous fluids. See F
2.
1. Install the air line accessories as shown in FIG. 2.
Mount these accessories on the wall or on a
bracket. Be sure the air line supplying the accessories is grounded.
a. Install an air regulator (C) and gauge to control
the fluid pressure. The fluid outlet pressure will
be the same as the setting of the air regulator.
b. Locate one bleed-type master air valve (B)
close to the pump and use it to relieve trapped
air. See the WARNING above. Locate the other
master air valve (E) upstream from all air line
accessories and use it to isolate them during
cleaning and repair.
IG.
1. Use flexible, grounded fluid hoses.
2. For best sealing results, use a standard Tri-Clamp®
style sanitary gasket of a flexible material such as
EPDM, Buna-N, fluoroelastomer, or silicon.
3. If the fluid inlet pressure to the pump is more than
25% of the outlet working pressure, the ball check
valves will not close fast enough, resulting in inefficient pump operation.
4. At inlet fluid pressures greater than 15 psi (0.1 MPa,
1 bar), diaphragm life will be shortened.
5. See the Technical Data on pages 32, 40, and 48 for
maximum suction lift (wet and dry).
c. The air line filter (F) removes harmful dirt and
moisture from the compressed air supply.

Installation
Fluid Outlet Line
A fluid drain valve (J) is required to relieve pressure in
the hose if it is plugged. The drain valve reduces the
risk of serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or
on the skin, or contamination from hazardous fluids
when relieving pressure. Install the valve close to the
pump fluid outlet. See F
IG. 2.
1. Use flexible grounded fluid hoses (L).
2. For best sealing results, use a standard Tri-Clamp®
style sanitary gasket of a flexible material such as
EPDM, Buna-N, fluoroelastomer, or silicon

Air Exhaust Ventilation
Read the FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD and
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD warnings on page
5 before operating this pump.
Be sure the system is properly ventilated for your type
of installation. When pumping flammable or hazardous
fluids, you must vent the exhaust to a safe place, away
from people, animals, food handling areas, and all
sources of ignition.
Diaphragm failure will cause the fluid being pumped to
exhaust with the air. Place an appropriate container at
the end of the air exhaust line to catch the fluid. See
F
IG. 4.
The air exhaust port is 3/4 npt(f). Do not restrict the air
exhaust port. Excessive exhaust restriction can cause
erratic pump operation.
To provide a remote exhaust:
1. Remove the muffler (P) from the pump air exhaust
port.
2. Install a grounded air exhaust hose (T) and connect
the muffler (P) to the other end of the hose. The
minimum size for the air exhaust hose is 3/4 in. (19
mm) ID. If a hose longer than 15 ft (4.57 m) is
required, use a larger diameter hose. Avoid sharp
bends or kinks in the hose.
3. Place a container (U) at the end of the air exhaust
line to catch fluid in case a diaphragm ruptures. See
F
IG. 4.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Read the PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
warnings on page 4.
The equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To reduce the risk of serious injury from
pressurized fluid or splashing fluid, follow this procedure whenever you:
•are instructed to relieve pressure
•stop pumping
•check, clean or service any system equipment
1. Shut off the air to the pump.
2. Open the dispensing valve, if used.
3. Open the fluid drain valve to relieve fluid pressure,
having a container ready to catch the drainage.
Sanitize the Pump Before First Use
If fluid inlet pressure to the pump is more than
25% of outlet working pressure, the ball check
valves will not close fast enough, resulting in inefficient pump operation.
4. Place the end of fluid hose (L) into an appropriate
container.
5. Close the fluid drain valve (J).
6. Back out the air regulator (C) knob, and open all
bleed-type master air valves (B, E).
7. If the fluid hose has a dispensing device, hold it
open while continuing with the following step.
8. Slowly increase air pressure with the air regulator
(C) until the pump starts to cycle. Allow the pump to
cycle slowly until all air is pushed out of the lines
and the pump is primed.
Pump Shutdown
It is the user’s responsibility to properly sanitize the
pump before first use. It is up to the user whether this
will include disassembling and cleaning individual parts
or simply flushing pump with a sanitizing solution. As
necessary, follow the steps under Starting and Adjust-ing the Pump below, under the Service section on
page 16, or under Flushing on page 13.
Read the TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD warn-
ings on page 5. Never move or lift a pump under pressure. If dropped, the fluid section may rupture. Always
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure before lifting the
pump.
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
1. Be sure the pump is properly grounded. Refer to
Grounding on page 4.
2. Check connections to be sure they are tight. Tighten
fluid inlet and outlet connections securely.
At the end of the work shift, relieve pressure.
3. Place the suction tube (if used) in fluid to be
pumped.

Maintenance
Maintenance
Lubrication
The air valve is designed to operate unlubricated, however if lubrication is desired, every 500 hours of operation (or monthly) remove the hose from the pump air
inlet and add two drops of machine oil to the air inlet.
CAUTION
Do not over-lubricate the pump. Oil is exhausted
through the muffler and could contaminate your fluid
supply or other equipment. Excessive lubrication can
also cause the pump to malfunction.
Flushing
To reduce the risk of serious injury, whenever you are
instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the Pres-sure Relief Procedure on page 11.
Insert suction tube into cleaning solution. Open air regulator to supply low pressure air to the pump. Run the
pump long enough to thoroughly clean the pump and
hoses. Close the air regulator. Remove the suction tube
from the cleaning solution and drain pump. Place suction tube in the fluid to be pumped.
Tightening Connections
Before each use, check all hoses for wear or damage,
and replace as necessary. Check to be sure all connections are tight and leak-free.
Preventive Maintenance Schedule
Establish a preventive maintenance schedule, based on
the pump’s service history. This is especially important
for prevention of spills or leakage due to diaphragm failure.
Flush the pump often enough to prevent the fluid you
are pumping from drying or freezing in the pump and
damaging it. Flushing schedule will be based on what
the pump is being used for. Use a compatible cleaning
solution and always cycle the pump during the entire
flushing process.
Always flush the pump and relieve the pressure before
storing it for any length of time.
