GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Neptune Series 6000 “dia-PUMP” is a reliable metering pump of the high-pressure diaphragm type. Under
constant conditions of temperature, pressure, and capacity adjustment settings, a +/- 1% metered discharge
volume is maintained.
A plunger reciprocating at a fixed stroke displaces hydraulic fluid, which actuates a flexible, chemically inert,
Teflon diaphragm to create pumping action. The capacity of the pump is regulated by controlling the volume of
hydraulic fluid, which bypasses the diaphragm cavity.
Metering accuracy is maintained by a control rod, which allows hydraulic fluid replacement and air venting
automatically with each stroke, while also taking into account temperature changes of the hydraulic fluid. Metering accuracy is also insured by the use of double ball check valves on the suction and discharge of the pump.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING THE PUMP

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.0 GENERAL (REFER TO PARTS DRAWING ON PAGE#16)
1.0.1 UNPACKING & INSPECTION
When unpacking a pump or chemical feed system, be certain that no parts are thrown away.
Examine the equipment for possible damage. If damage has occurred, file claim with the
common carrier within 24 hours. Neptune will assist in estimating the repair costs.
1.0.2 The “dia-Pump” should be located on a level surface. Three mounting holes are provided to
anchor the pump securely to the mounting surface. All piping to the pump should be supported
to prevent stress on the pump input and output fittings.
1.0.3 Before connecting the pump make sure that all fittings are completely clean by flushing
thoroughly. Any foreign matter entering the pump can damage the internal parts and severely
limit the life of the pump.
1.0.4 A “Y” STRAINER (AT LEAST ONE PIPE SIZE LARGER THAN SUCTION INLET SIZE OF
THE PUMP) MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE SUCTION LINE OF THE PUMP TO INSURE
AGAINST FOREIGN MATTER ENTERING THE PUMP
1.0.5 It is recommended that shut-off valves and unions be placed in the suction and discharge lines
if possible. Such an arrangement will facilitate servicing the pump.
1.0.6 The electrical supply to the pump must match the motor nameplate characteristics. The motor
rotation is counter clockwise when viewed from the top of the motor or looking down on the
pump. An arrow mark on the gearbox shows the rotation (See Figure 1)
IMPORTANT
On single-phase units, the rotation is set at the factory and must not be changed.
FIGURE 1
Please note Figure 1, indicating the correct rotation. Operation with the incorrect rotation will
damage the pump and motor.
1.0.7 Please note, that some items in the parts list have more than one part number for an individual
figure number. These different part numbers insure unique identification of parts, which are
available in more than one material of construction, or as in the case of gears, pistons etc,
more than one speed, sizes. Please use the part number, not the figure number when
ordering.
7
Page 8
1.0.8 Fill gearbox and pump by pouring the hydraulic fluid (drive lubricant) supplied through the fill
opening at the rear of the pump. Pour fluid in slowly until it covers the worm gear. The control
knob should be in the zero position during the filling.
PLEASE NOTE: TO VENT THE AIR, REMOVE VENT PLUG LOCATED ON TOP OF THE OIL HEAD
(# 54 on Parts Drawing).
Allow 30 minutes for hydraulic fluid to make its way into pump chamber and then recheck fluid
level.
The hydraulic fluid supplied by Neptune is EP SAE 90.
Common sources for hydraulic fluid are:
Shell Oil Omala #220
Mobil Oil Mobil Gear #629
Sun Oil Sun Oil #220
Texaco Meropa #220
2.0 SUCTION PIPING
2.0.1 The suction piping to the pump must be absolutely airtight and one size larger than suction
inlet size of the pump. It is suggested that the suction piping be tested with low air pressure
and a soap solution to assure that no leaks exist. Limit the total length of the suction line to 3-4
feet for suction lift or 6-7 feet for flooded suction. Minimize bends, elbows, or other restrictions.
2.0.2 NEPTUNE RECOMMENDS THAT THE “dia-PUMP” BE OPERATED WITH A FLOODED
SUCTION, AS THIS WILL FACILITATE START UP AND INCREASE THE SERVICE LIFE OF
THE PUMP.
2.0.3 It is highly recommended that all solution tanks be furnished with a low level cut off switch or
low-level alarm and cut off switch to prevent the pump from running dry. OPERATION
AGAINST A DRY SYSTEM WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PUMP DIAPHRAGM AND
REDUCE THE OPERATING LIFE OF THE PUMP.
3.0 DISCHARGE PIPING
3.0.1 It is recommended that the “dia-Pump” operate against a minimum discharge pressure of 50
psig.
3.0.2 All Neptune Series 6000 “dia-Pumps” are supplied with an internally pre-set relief valve. This
relief valve is set above the actual rated discharge pressure of the pump and is designed to
protect the pump should a discharge pressure’ beyond the rated limit of the pump occur.
3.0.3 To protect the piping system, it is recommended that an external relief valve as manufactured by
Neptune Chemical Pump Company, or equal, be placed in the discharge line of the pump.
3.0.4 Discharge piping should equal discharge port size.
4.0 ADJUSTMENT OF INTERNAL RELIEF VALVE
4.0.1 All Neptune Series 6000 “dia-Pumps” are supplied with an internally pre-set relief valve. The
internal relief valve is set as follows:
4.0.2 The internal relief valve is designed to protect the pump itself should a discharge pressure
beyond the relief valve setting occur.
4.0.3 If a customer order specifies a relief valve setting above those indicated above, the specified
setting will be set at the factory. All pumps are tagged with the relief valve setting used by the
factory.
4.0.4 To protect the external piping system, it is recommended that a relief valve as manufactured by
Neptune Chemical or equal be placed in the discharge line of the pump. It is further
recommended that this relief valve be piped into return of the tank with clear PVC tubing so
that it can be determined if the solution is bypassing through the valve and returning to the
tank, indicating a line blockage.
4.0.5 Drawing on page16 illustrates the locations of the internal relief valve (#32, #33, #34, #35, #36,
#37 on Parts Drawing).
4.0.6 The drawing shows a passage connecting the hydraulic fluid reservoir with the hydraulic fluid
side of the diaphragm.
4.0.7 The passage is interrupted by the relief valve ball (FIG. #37 on Parts Drawing), which is
backed up by a relief valve spring (#35 on Parts Drawing).
4.0.8 If, during the pump operation, the pressure on the hydraulic fluid side of the pump exceeds the
set pressure of the internal relief valve, the ball is forced from its seat allowing the hydraulic
fluid to flow back to the reservoir.
4.0.9 To reset the relief valve to a higher pressure (the relief valve setting cannot be reduced
because of design considerations), instructions are as follows:
4.0.10 Connect a test set-up as shown in Figure 2 (Page 10)
NOTE: All parts must have a working pressure rating above the required set pressure.
4.0.11 Start and run the pump until all air is relieved from the discharge liquid (hand valve open).
4.0.12 Remove relief valve cap (#32 on Parts Drawing).
4.0.13 Close hand valve; pressure gauge should read between 250 and 4500 psi depending on pump
model.
4.0.14 Use 5/16” Allen wrench to adjust spring tension by turning relief valve adjusting screw
(#34 on Parts Drawing).
(1) To increase pressure, turn relief valve adjusting screw (#34 on Parts Drawing) in.
(2) To decrease pressure, turn relief valve adjusting screw (#34 on Parts Drawing) out.
4.0.15 After resetting or adjusting pressure, replace relief valve cap (#32 on Parts Drawing).
CAUTION
Never turn relief valve adjusting screw (# 34 on Parts Drawing.) completely in.
Do not attempt to set the internal relief valve more than 25% in excess of nameplate rating.

Take out Relief Valve cap to access Relief Valve screw (#32 on Parts Drawing). Insert Hex wrench to
adjust relief valve setting.
FIGURE 2
5.0 INSTALLATION OUTDOORS
The “dia-Pump” is a totally enclosed pump, which can be used outdoors or indoors. When installed outdoors, make sure that the pump is protected against extremes of nature as follows:
5.0.1 Running of the pump when exposed to tropical sunshine with ambient temperature above 90°F
(32°C) would cause excessive oil and motor temperatures. The pump should be shaded and
located in such a way as to permit an ample degree of air circulation.
5.0.2 Under cold conditions, the pump should be insulated and a heater should be supplied in order
to maintain the hydraulic fluid at an ambient temperature above 30°F (—1°C.)
10
Page 11
6.0 START UP PROCEDURE
The following start up procedure is complete and does repeat instructions on filling the gearbox and
pump.
6.0.1 Remove backpressure spring, if any (anti-siphon spring, Part#100198 on Fig 3) for start up.
Reinstall after pump is operational if needed.
6.0.2 Flooded Suction: Refer to Section II, Paragraph 1.0.9, for instructions on filling gearbox with
hydraulic fluid.
6.0.6 On initial start-ups: Set the pump capacity at 0%.
Check for proper motor rotation (Refer to Paragraph 1.0.6).
6.0.3 Open air bleed port (#51 on the drawing). Let all the air escape from the oil side. Keep it open
until only oil comes out from the port. Close the port tight. Run pump for 10-15 seconds couple
of times and listen for any abnormal motor or crank noises, and if present, refer to trouble
shooting chart.
FIGURE 3
6.0.4 Make sure that the pumping chamber is flooded by loosening Discharge Cap (Part#002073 on
Fig 3) and allowing solution to appear. Then tighten Discharge Cap (Part#002073 on Fig 3).
This procedure will also allow air to vent from pumping chamber. THE “dia-PUMP” WILL NOT
FUNCTION IF AIR IS TRAPPED IN THE HYDRAULIC FLUID OR LIQUID INSIDE OIL PUMP
CHAMBER.
6.0.5 After having let pump stand for 30 minutes and having rechecked fluid level, set pump capacity
indicator at approximately 30%. Be certain that pump suction and discharge lines are open.
6.0.5 Start pump. Slowly adjust to the required capacity.
WARNING
BEWARE APPLICATIONS WHERE WATER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CHEMICAL TO BE PUMPED.
EXAMPLE: NEVER FORCE PRIME WHEN PUMPING ACID OR OIL BASED PRODUCTS.

SECTION III
NORMAL MAINTENANCE
7.0 MAINTENANCE
Under normal conditions, the “dia-Pump” should not require any significant amount of maintenance. It
is advised that periodic visual observations be made of the oil level to make sure that it is over the
worm gear. The liquid end of the pump should also be inspected for leakage. These observations
should be made regularly.
The hydraulic fluid should be drained and replaced twice a year, using the drain plug (# 68 on Parts
Drawing) at the back of the pump. This change can be scheduled with the normal factory maintenance
at seasonal periods.
The “dia-Pump” incorporates a unique check valve design whereas the discharge and suction
piping NEED NOT be disturbed in order to service the valves.
Should the valves need cleaning, remove as follows:
7.0.2 Remove discharge valve cap (# 002073 on Figure 3).
7.0.3 Remove ball retainer (# 000215 on Figure 3), using 5/16” Allen wrench.
7.0.4 Remove discharge valve cartridge (# 000209 on Figure 3). Using special wrench
provided. Be certain that valve “0” ring (# 100204 on Figure 3) is removed with valve
cartridge.
7.0.5 Remove suction valve cap ((# 000207 on Figure 3).
7.0.6 Remove suction valve cartridge (# 000217 on Figure 3), using 5/16” Allen wrench. Be
certain that valve “0” ring (# 100204 on Figure 3).) is removed with valve cartridge.
7.0.7 Clean valve cartridges with suitable solvent. The valve cartridge is a complete and
integral unit and should not be disassembled for cleaning. If the valves are found to be
worn and in need of replacement, an entire valve cartridge in either suction or
discharge should be ordered. The suction valve is the longer of the two valve
cartridges.
7.0.8 To replace reverse above procedure using a small amount of grease to hold valve “0”
rings in place. Do not over tighten the valve cartridges as this could damage the valve
“0” rings.

7.2.3 Remove and examine teflon diaphragm (#47 on Parts Drawing). Remove and examine
the liquid side diaphragm backup plate (#64 on Parts Drawing). Replace with new
backup plate and Diaphragm, if required. When replacing the Teflon diaphragm, be
certain to line it up properly with the sealing grooves.
7.2.4 To reassemble reverse the above procedure. Laying the pump on its side facilitates
reassembly. Be certain to tighten all bolts evenly. Tighten to 65 ft. lbs.
SECTION IV
MOTOR OPERATING CONDITIONS
8.0 The normal temperature rise for standard motors is 40°C above ambient temperature and, thus, it
might appear that the motor is operating at a higher than normal temperature. This situation is normal
and should not cause concern.
As a precaution against motor overheating, it is recommended that the pump be located where
adequate ventilation is available, It is also recommended that a MOTOR STARTER WITH THE
PROPER OVERLOAD PROTECTION BE SUPPLIED AS AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY DEVICE.

SECTION IX
DOUBLE DIAPHRAGM OPTION
Special Instructions for Series 6000 “dia-Pumps” with Double Diaphragm
The instructions below are for Neptune’s optional Double Diaphragm Kit.
Use of a double diaphragm allows diaphragms to be
monitored and provides an early warning upon failure of
either diaphragm allowing repairs to be made before
process fluid can mix with the pump’s hydraulic fluid.
Neptune’s double diaphragm is a kit, which may be
retrofitted to any pump currently in service or may be
installed on a new pump at the factory.
Figure 4, illustrates a Double Diaphragm Assembly.
An intermediate plate is located between the oil and
liquid heads with one diaphragm on each side of the
intermediate plate. The Intermediate Plate is
connected to a rupture alarm or pressure switch via a
capillary system. The area between the diaphragms
is evacuated. Rupture in either diaphragm produces
an increase in volume and, therefore, a pressure
increase, which can be sensed by a pressure switch
for alarm purposes.
DISASSEMBLY OF INTERMEDIATE PLATE
11.0.0 Shut pump off and disconnect suction and
discharge piping. Remove drain plug and
drain hydraulic fluid from the gearbox.
11.0.1 Remove 8 Screws and remove the liquid
head assembly. Some hydraulic oil and
process fluid will spill out when the head is
removed.
11.0.2 The intermediate plate, which is between the
pump heads can be removed easily.
11.0.3 Remove the rupture alarm (pressure switch)
and clean the capillary system.
11.0.4 Replace one or both diaphragms if needed.
11.0.5 To reassemble reverse above procedure. Be
certain that parts align properly.
