GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICATION
The
MQD2H
and
MQD3H diaphragm
pumps are designed to
be used for de-watering applications. The suction and discharge
ports on the
MQD2H
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). The suction and discharge ports
on the
MQD3H
use a 3-inch diameter opening, which allows the
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.

mud hogs, mud hens and mud suckers. Their names reflect their
popularity for use in applications where shallow depths and slurry

To perform the pump vacuum test do the following:
1.Start the engine as outlined in the initial start-up section,
and wait for the pump to begin pumping.
2Check and make sure that there are no air leaks between
the vacuum tester (Figure 21) and the inlet port on the
pump. If air leaks are present reseat vacuum tester.
3.Run the pump for a few minutes while monitoring the
vacuum gauge. If the gauge indicates a reading between
-25 and -20 in. Hg. (inches of mercury) then it can be
assumed that the pump is working correctly.

Rotation of Suction and Discharge Ports
In some applications, it may be preferable to have suction/
discharge ports rotated 90° (Figure 22) to be in-line with the
pump wheels. Perform the following procedure to rotate ports:
1.Remove the four hex head cap screws, hex nuts, flat
washers and lock washers from the pump base.
2.Push pump well downwards to separate from pump
base.
3.Rotate pump well 90° clockwise so that driver is
positioned over top of discharge plate.
4.Align pump well, pump base, and diaphragm with each
other. Once all components have been properly aligned,
reinstall the four hex head cap screws, hex nuts, flat
and lock washers and tighten securely.
Stalled Pump
If pump has stalled for any unknown reason perform the
following:
1.Remove handle from pump. See Figure 6.
2.Remove the four hex head cap screws, hex nuts, flat

Clearing a Jam-Up
If large solids or an accumulation of sand or other sediment
becomes lodged in the pump well, preventing the plunger
arm from making a full stroke; the pump may stall, the crank
could slip on the output shaft, or the plunger arm could incur
extreme damage and shear.
If a jam-up does occur, the pump should be thoroughly
cleaned as described on the “Pump Stalls” section.
PAGE 22 — MQD2H/3H DIAPHRAGM PUMPS — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #6 (10/27/11)
Pump jamming with an over-torqued lock screw (plunger
arm) may cause internal damage. Under torqueing may
allow the output shaft to spin and wear parts prematurely
causing replacement.
