HAZARD SYMBOLS
SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you
about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The
Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to
the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER,
WARNING, or CAUTION.
Lethal Exhaust Gases
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and
odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a confined
area or enclosed structure that does not
provide ample free flow air.
Explosive Fuel
GASOLINE is extremely flammable, and itsvapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO
NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or
combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or
sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in
approved containers, in well-ventilated areas
and away from sparks and flames. NEVER
DANGER: You WILL be KILLED or
SERIOUSLY injured if you do not follow
directions.
WARNING: You CAN be KILLED or
SERIOUSLY injured if you do not follow
directions.
CAUTION: You CAN be injured if you
do not follow directions.
Potential hazards associated with the MQ-D206H diaphragm
pumps operation will be referenced with Hazard Symbols which
appear throughout this manual, and will be referenced in
conjunction with Safety Message Alert Symbols.
Burn Hazards
Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after
operations. Never operate the engine with heat
shields or heat guards removed.
Rotating Parts
NEVER operate equipment with covers, or
guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and
clothing away from all moving parts to prevent
injury.

MQ-D206H— GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICATION
MQ Model D206H diaphragm
The
pump is designed to be
used for de-watering applications. The suction and discharge
ports on the
D206H
use a 2-inch diameter opening, which allows
the pump to pump at rate of approximately 3,000 gallons/hour
(gph) or 11,340 liters/hour (lph).
Diaphragm pumps use a positive displacement design rather
than centrifugal force to move water through the casing. This
means the pump will deliver a specific amount of flow per stroke,
revolution or cycle. These pumps are commonly referred to as
mud hogs, mud hens and mud suckers. Their names reflect their
Elevation
Higher elevations will effect the performance of the pump. Due to
less atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, pumps DO NOT
have the priming ability that they have at sea level. This is due to
the “thinner air” or lack of oxygen at higher altitudes.
A general rule of thumb is that for every 1,000 feet of elevation
above sea level a pump will lose one foot of priming ability.
For example, in Flagstaff, Arizona where the elevation is
approximately 7,000 feet, the pump would have a suction lift of
only 18 feet rather than the 25 feet at sea level. Table 3 shows
suction lift at various elevations.
popularity for use in applications where shallow depths and slurry
water render centrifugal pumps ineffective
Power Plant
These diaphragm pumps are powered by an 5.5 horsepower air
cooled, 4-stroke, single cylinder
that incorporates a low "
engine is coupled to an offset connecting rod that is coupled to a
flexible diaphragm. The connecting rod alternately raises
(expands) and lowers (contracts) the diaphragm at a rate
between 40 and 65 strokes per minute depending on engine
speed.

Table 4 shows percentage drops in performance as elevation
increases.
This pump is intended to be used for dewatering applications
and is capable of suction lifts up to 25 feet at sea level. For optimal
suction lift performance keep the suction hose or line as short as
possible. In general always place the pump as close to the water
as possible.
Pump Support
The pump should always be placed on
solid stationary ground
in a level position.
NEVER place the pump on
soft soil
. The suction hose or pipe
connection should always be checked for tightness and leaks. A
small suction leak in the hose or fittings could prevent the pump
from priming.
Figure 2 shows a typical application using the MQ-D206H diaphragm pump. Please note that this pump is intended for the removal
of clean water and water containing some debris and solids. Maximum size of solids should not exceed 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter.
DO NOT set strainer on bottom of water bed. Placing the strainer above the water bed will prevent the pump from drawing in
excessive amounts of sand and foreign debris.
NOTE
1.Pump – The MQ-D206H is a 2-inch diaphragm pump and
is used in general de-watering applications. Typical
dewatering applications consist of cleaning out cesspools
and septic tanks, draining slow seepage from small
excavations, trenches and construction sites, or pumping
out industrial waste.
2.Fill Cap – Prior to operation, the pump casing should be
filled with water. Remove this cap to add water to the pump.
After the initial prime, a sufficient amount of water will be
retained in the casing so that the operator will not need to
re-prime later.
If the casing is dry or has insufficient water, the pump will
have difficulty in priming which could lead to premature
mechanical seal wear thus causing damage to the pump.
3.Discharge Port – Connect a 2-inch discharge hose to
this port. Use two worm clamps to secure the hose.
4.Worm Clamp – Used to secure the hose to the inlet and
outlet ports on the pump. Use two clamps to secure the
hose on the inlet side of the pump.
5.Discharge Hose – Connect a flexible rubber hose to the
discharge port on the pump. Make sure that the hose lays
flat and is not kinked. Use only recommended type
discharge hose. Contact Multiquip parts department for
ordering information.
Contact your nearest Multiquip
dealer for quick disconnect hoses
and fittings.

The engine (Figure 3) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing. The
engine shown above is a HONDA engine, operation for other
types of engines may vary somewhat.
1.Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
6.Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in
cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel
mixture.
7.Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.
DANGER
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when
the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to
cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt to start the
engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the
area surrounding the engine is dry.

spark plug once a week.
9.Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
NOTE
Operating the engine without an
air filter, with a damaged air filter,
or a filter in need of replacement
will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
