NOTE: Not all materials are available for all models.
Refer to Section 2 for material options for your pump.
CAUTION: When choosing pump materials, be
sure to check the temperature limits for all wet ted
components. Example : FKM has a maximum limit
of 177°C (350°F) but polypropylene has a maximum
limit of only 79°C (175°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.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air supply
pressure.
CAUTION: The process fluid and cleaning fluids
must be chemically compatible with all wetted pump
components. Consult Chemical Resistance Guide.
CAUTION: Pumps should be thoroughly flushed
before installing into process lines. FDA- and USDAapproved pumps should be cleaned and /or sanitized
before being used.
CAUTION: A lways wear sa fety gla sses whe n operating

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 acts as
a separation membrane between 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
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. Atmospheric
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).

Diaphragm B is now on its discharge

HOW IT WORKS—AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
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.

SUCTION-LIFT CURVES
PS220/PS230 METAL
SUCTION-LIFT
CAPABILITY
Suction-lift curves are calibrated for
pumps operating at 305 m (1,000')
above sea level. This chart is meant
to be a guide only. There are many
variables that can affect your pump's
operating characteristics. The number
of intake and discharge elbows,
viscosity of pumping fluid, elevation
(atmospheric pressure) and pipe
friction loss all affect the amount of
suction lift your pump will attain.
Wilden® pumps are designed to meet the performance
requirements of even the most demanding pumping applications.
They have been designed and manufactured to the highest
standards and are available in a variety of liquid path materials to
meet your chemical resistance needs. Refer to the performance
section of this manual for an in-depth analysis of the performance
characteristics of your pump. Wilden offers the widest variety of
elastomer options in the industry to satisfy temperature, chemical
compatibility, abrasion resistance and flex concerns.
The suction pipe size should be at least the equivalent or larger
than the diameter size of the suction inlet on your Wilden
pump. The suction hose must be non-collapsible, 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 which will help reduce
friction losses. It is critical that all fittings and connections
are airtight or a reduction or loss of pump suction capability
will result.
INSTALLATION: Months of careful planning, study and selection
efforts can result in unsatisfactory pump performance if installation
details are left to chance.
Premature failure and long-term dissatisfaction can be avoided if
reasonable care is exercised throughout the installation process.
LOCATION: Noise, safety and other logistical factors usually
dictate where equipment will be situated on the production floor.
Multiple installations with conflicting requirements can result
in congestion of utility areas, leaving few choices for additional
pumps.
Within the framework of these and other existing conditions,
every pump should be located in such a way that six key factors
are balanced against each other to maximum advantage.
ACCESS: First of all, the location should be accessible. If it’s easy
to reach the pump, maintenance personnel will have an easier
time carrying out routine inspections and adjustments. Should
major repairs become necessary, ease of access can play a key
role in speeding the repair process and reducing total downtime.
AIR SUPPLY: Every pump location should have an air line large
enough to supply the volume of air necessary to achieve the
desired pumping rate. Use air pressure up to a maximum of 8.6
bar (125 psig) depending on pumping requirements.
For best results, the pumps should use a 5µ (micron) air filter,
needle valve and regulator. The use of an air filter before the pump
will ensure that the majority of any pipeline contaminants will be
eliminated.
SOLENOID OPERATION: When operation is controlled by a
solenoid valve in the air line, three-way valves should be used.
This valve allows trapped air between the valve and the pump to
bleed off which improves pump performance. Pumping volume
can be estimated by counting the number of strokes per minute
and then multiplying the figure by the displacement per stroke.
MUFFLER: Sound levels are reduced below OSHA specifications
using the standard Wilden muffler. Other mufflers can be
used to further reduce sound levels, but they usually reduce
pump performance.
ELEVATION: Selecting a site that is well within the pump’s
dynamic lift capability will assure that loss-of-prime issues will be
eliminated. In addition, pump efficiency can be adversely affected
if proper attention is not given to site location.
PIPING: Final determination of the pump site should not be made
until the piping challenges of each possible location have been
evaluated. The impact of current and future installations should be
considered ahead of time to make sure that inadvertent restrictions
are not created for any remaining sites.
For U.L. listed pumps, all installation must conform with NFPA 30,
NFPA 30A and other applicable codes. All pipe connections are to
be made using U.L. classified gasoline-resistant pipe compound.
Exhaust port is to be connected to pipe or tubing to be routed
outdoors or other location determined to be equivalent.
The best choice possible will be a site involving the shortest and
straightest hook-up of suction and discharge piping. Unnecessary
elbows, bends and fittings should be avoided. Pipe sizes should
be selected to keep friction losses within practical limits. All piping
should be supported independently of the pump. In addition, the
piping should be aligned 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. If the pump is
to be bolted down to a solid location, a mounting pad placed
between the pump and the foundation will assist in minimizing
pump vibration. Flexible connections between the pump and
rigid piping will also assist in minimizing pump vibration. If quickclosing valves are installed at any point in the discharge system,
or if pulsation within a system becomes a problem, a surge
suppressor (SD Equalizer
pump, piping and gauges from surges and water hammer.
If the pump is to be used in a self-priming application, make sure
that all connections are airtight and that the suction lift is within
the model’s ability. NOTE: Materials of construction and elastomer
material have an effect on suction-lift parameters. Please refer to
the performance section for specifics.
When pumps are installed in applications involving flooded
suction or suction head pressures, a gate valve should be installed
in the suction line to permit closing of the line for pump service.
Pumps in service with a positive suction head are most efficient
when 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)
and higher.
SUBMERSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Pro-Flo® SHIFT pumps can be
used for submersible applications when using the Pro-Flo®
SHIFT's single-point exhaust option. Pro-Flo X™ and Turbo-Flo®

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, the shut-off valve
should be closed, if the restarting of the pump is not
desirable once power is regained.
AIR-OPERATED PUMPS: To stop the pump from operating in
an emergency situation, simply close the shut-off valve (usersupplie d) installed in the air supp ly line. A properly functioning
valve will stop the air supply to the pump, therefore stopping
output. This shut-off valve should be located far enough away
from the pumping equipment such that it can be reached
safely in an emergency situation.
OPERATION: The Pro-Flo® SHIFT pumps are prelubricated 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 nonlubricated location, it may need to be disassembled
and re-lubricated as described in the REASSEMBLY/
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
Pump discharge rate can be controlled by limiting the
volume and/or pressure of the air supply to the pump. A
regulator is used to control air pressure while a needle
valve is used to control 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”
TROUBLESHOOTING
situation and can be restarted by reducing the fluid
discharge pressure or increasing the air inlet pressure.

air 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.

• A small amount of NLGI grade 2 white EP bearing
grease can be applied to the muffler and air valve
gaskets to locate gaskets during assembly.
• Make sure that the exhaust port on the muffler plate
is centered between the two exhaust ports on the

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 needlenose 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 NLGI grade 2 white
EP bearing grease.
• Slowly insert the center shaft with a rotating motion.
This will complete the resizing of the seal.
