may not be shown. Always refer to the parts list and exploded view drawing for your
specic model when installing, disassembling or servicing your pump.
PRINCIPLE OF PUMP OPERATION
This ball valve pump is powered by compressed air and is a 1:1 pressure ratio design.
It alternately pressurizes the inner side of one diaphragm chamber, while simultaneously
exhausting the other inner chamber. This causes the diaphragms, which are connected
by a common rod, to move endwise. Air pressure is applied over the entire surface
of the diaphragm, while liquid is discharged from the opposite side. The diaphragm
operates under a balanced condition during the discharge stroke, which allows the unit
to be operated at discharge heads over 200 feet (61 meters) of water head.
Since the diaphragms are connected by a common rod, secured by plates to the
center of the diaphragms, one diaphragm performs the discharge stroke, while the other
is pulled to perform the suction stroke in the opposite chamber.
For maximum diaphragm life, keep the pump as close to the liquid being pumped
as possible. Positive suction head in excess of 10 feet of liquid (3.048 meters) is not
recommended. For applications with higher suction heads, consult the factory.
Alternate pressuring and exhausting of the diaphragm chamber is performed by
means of an externally mounted, pilot operated, four-way spool type air distribution
valve. When the spool shifts to one end of the valve body, inlet air pressure is applied to
one diaphragm chamber and the other diaphragm chamber exhausts. When the spool
shifts to the opposite end of the valve body, the porting of chambers is reversed. The air
distribution valve spool is moved by an internal pilot valve which alternately pressurizes
one side of the air distribution valve spool, while exhausting the other side. The pilot
valve is shifted at each end of the diaphragm stroke by the diaphragm plate coming in
contact with the end of the pilot valve spool. This pushes it into position for shifting of
the air distribution valve.
The chambers are manifolded together with a suction and discharge check valve for
each chamber, maintaining ow in one direction through the pump.
Original Instructions
INSTALLATION & START-UP
Locate the pump as close to the product being pumped as possible, keeping suction
line length and number of ttings to a minimum. Do not reduce line size.
For installations of rigid piping, short exible sections of hose should be installed
between pump and piping. This reduces vibration and strain to the piping system. A
MARATHON surge suppressor is recommended to further reduce pulsation in ow.
Tighten all fasteners before pump startup.
This pump was tested at the factory prior to shipment and is ready for operation. It
is completely self-priming from a dry start for suction lifts of 17 feet (5.8 meters) or less.
For suction lifts exceeding 17 feet of liquid, ll the chambers with liquid prior to priming.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Bottom Discharge Flap Valve Unit
CAUTION
The air exhaust should be
piped to an area for safe
disposition of the product
being pumped, in the event
of a diaphragm failure.
mhdf1dl1sm-rev0711 Models MHDF1 & MHDF25 Page 5
AIR SUPPLY
Air supply pressures cannot exceed 125 psi (8.61 bar). Connect the pump air inlet
to an air supply of sufcient capacity and pressure required for desired performance.
When the air line is solid piping, use a short length of exible hose (not less than 1/2"
(12.7 mm) in diameter) between pump and piping to eliminate strain to pipes.
AIR INLET & PRIMING
For start-up, open an air valve approximately 1/2" to 3/4" turn. After the unit primes,
an air valve can be opened to increase ow as desired. If opening the valve increases
cycling rate, but does not increase ow rate, cavitation has occurred, and the valve
should be closed slightly.
For the most efcient use of compressed air and the longest diaphragm life, throttle
the air inlet to the lowest cycling rate that does not reduce ow.
AIR EXHAUST
If a diaphragm fails, the pumped liquid or fumes can enter the air end of the pump,
and be exhausted into the atmosphere. When pumping hazardous or toxic materials,
pipe the exhaust to an appropriate area for safe disposition.
This pump can be submerged if materials of construction are compatible with the
liquid. The air exhaust must be piped above the liquid level. Piping used for the air
exhaust must not be smaller than 1" (2.54 cm). Reducing the pipe size will restrict air
ow and reduce pump performance. When the product source is at a higher level than
the pump (ooded suction), pipe the exhaust higher than the product source to prevent
siphoning spills.
Freezing or icing-up of the air exhaust can occur under certain temperature and
humidity conditions. Use of an air dryer should eliminate most icing problems.
BETWEEN USES
When used for materials that tend to settle out or transform to solid form, the pump
should be completely ushed after each use, to prevent damage. Product remaining
in the pump between uses could dry out or settle out. This could cause problems with
valves and diaphragms at re-start. In freezing temperatures, the pump must be drained
between uses in all cases.
FLAP VALVE SERVICING
Valve inspection requires removal of Capscrews and elbows. When the top suction
elbows are removed, the valve and seat are connected as an assembly. When the bottom
discharge elbows are removed, the valve and seat stay with the outer chamber. Visual
inspection and cleaning is possible. If parts are to be replaced, remove the self-locking
nuts and all parts are accessible.
Caution should be used while reassembling Flap valves. The valves are designed for
some preload over the retainer hinge pad. This is done to insure proper face contact
with the seat. After all parts are in place, tighten the lock nuts down on the assembly to
the point where visual inspection shows that seat and valve face mate without gap. This
is important for dry prime. However, after priming action has started, valves will function
due to differential pressure without concern or trouble.
DIAPHRAGM SERVICING
Remove the eight bolts securing the elbows to the chamber. Remove the four nuts
and four capscrews securing the outer diaphragm chamber ange and remove the
chamber. Loosen the capscrew securing the diaphragm and plate to the rod by leaving
the diaphragm engaged with the capscrews around the outer ange, preventing rotation
of the rod. DO NOT USE A WRENCH ON THE DIAPHRAGM ROD. FLAWS ON THE
SURFACE MAY DAMAGE BEARINGS AND SEAL.
During reassembly make certain that the rubber bumper is on the rod on each side.
Install the diaphragm with the natural bulge outward as indicated on the diaphragm.
Install the outer plate on the outside of the diaphragm. Place the sealing washer between
the inner diaphragm plate and the end of the rod. Tighten the capscrew to approximately
25 ft. lbs. (33.9 Newton meters). Torque while allowing diaphragm to turn freely with
plates. Except for EPDM Rubber, use a lightweight oil between plates and diaphragm
when doing this procedure. For EPDM water can be used. Use a wrench on the Hex of
the opposite side to keep the rod from rotating. If the opposite chamber is assembled,
the rod need not be held. The Flap Valves can also be inspected for proper seating at
this point.
mhdf1dl1sm-rev0711 Models MHDF1 & MHDF25 Page 6
AIR VALVE LUBRICATION
The SANDPlPER pump’s pilot valve and main air valve assemblies are
designed to operate WITHOUT lubrication. This is the preferred mode of
operation. There may be instances of personal preference, or poor quality air
supplies when lubrication of the compressed air supply is required. The pump air
system will operate with properly lubricated compressed air supplies. Proper lubrication of the
compressed air supply would entail the use of an air line lubricator (available from
MARATHON) set to deliver one drop of 10 weight, non-detergent oil for every 20 SCFM
of air the pump consumed at its point of operation. Consult the pump’s published Performance Curve to determine this.
It is important to remember to inspect the sleeve and spool set routinely. It should
move back and forth freely. This is most important when the air supply is lubricated. If
a lubricator is used, oil accumulation will, over time, collect any debris from the compressed air. This can prevent the pump from operating properly.
Water in the compressed air supply can create problems such as icing or freezing
of the exhaust air causing the pump to cycle erratically, or stop operating. This can
be addressed by using a point of use air dryer to supplement a plant’s air drying
equipment. This device will remove excess water from the compressed air supply and
alleviate the icing or freezing problem.

MARATHON Distributor, or the MARATHON factory Literature Department. To receive
the correct manual, you must specify the MODEL and TYPE information found on the
name plate of the pump.
The main air valve sleeve and spool set is located in the valve body mounted on the
pump with four hex head capscrews. The valve body assembly is removed from the
pump by removing these four hex head capscrews.
With the valve body assembly off the pump, access to the sleeve and spool set is
made by removing a retaining ring (each end) securing the end cap on the valve body
assembly. With the end caps removed, slide the spool back and forth in the sleeve.
The spool is closely sized to the sleeve and must move freely to allow for proper pump
operation. An accumulation of oil, dirt or other contaminants from the pump’s air supply, or from a failed diaphragm, may prevent the spool from moving freely. This can
cause the spool to stick in a position that prevents the pump from operating. If this is
the case, the sleeve and spool set should be removed from the valve body for cleaning
and further inspection.
Remove the spool from the sleeve. Using an arbor press or bench vise (with an
improvised mandrel), press the sleeve from the valve body. Take care not to damage
the sleeve. At this point, inspect the o-rings on the sleeve for nicks, tears or abrasions.
Damage of this sort could happen during assembly or servicing . A sheared or cut
o-ring can allow the pump’s compressed air supply to leak or bypass within the air
valve assembly, causing the pump to leak compressed air from the pump air exhaust
or not cycle properly. This is most noticeable at pump dead head or high discharge
pressure conditions. Replace any of these o-rings as required or set up a routine,
preventive maintenance schedule to do so on a regular basis. This practice should include
cleaning the spool and sleeve components with a safety solvent or equivalent, inspecting
for signs of wear or damage, and replacing worn components.
To re-install the sleeve and spool set, lightly lubricate the o-rings on the
sleeve with an o-ring assembly lubricant or lightweight oil (such as 10 wt. air line
lubricant). Re-install one end cap, and retaining ring (see safety warning), on the
valve body. Using the arbor press or bench vise that was used in disassembly,
carefully press the sleeve back into the valve body, without shearing the o-rings.
Re-install the spool, opposite end cap and retaining ring (see safety warning), on the
valve body. After inspecting and cleaning the gasket surfaces on the valve body and
intermediate, reinstall the valve body on the pump using new gaskets. Tighten the four
hex head capscrews evenly and in an alternating cross pattern, at 150 in./lbs. (16.94
Newton meters).

PILOT VALVE
The pilot valve assembly is accessed by removing the main air distribution valve body
from the pump and lifting the pilot valve body out of the intermediate housing.
Mo st pr oblem s wit h the pilot valve can be co rrected by replac ing the
o-rings. Always grease t he spool prior to inserting it into the s leeve. If the
sleeve is removed from the body, reinsertion must be at the chamfered side.
Grease the o-rings to slide the sleeve into the valve body. Securely insert the
retaining ring around the sleeve. When reinserting the pilot valve, push both
plungers (located inside the intermediate bracket) out of the path of the pilot valve spool
ends to avoid damage.
PILOT VALVE ACTUATOR
Bushings for the pilot valve actuators are held in the inner chambers with
retaining rings. An o-ring is behind each bushing. If the plunger has any sideways motion,
check o-rings and bushing for deterioration or wear. The plunger may be removed for
inspection or replacement. First remove the air distribution valve body and the pilot valve
body from the pump. The plungers can be located by looking into the intermediate. It
may be necessary to use a ne piece of wire to pull them out. The bushing can be turned
out through the inner chamber by removing the outer chamber assembly. Replace the
bushings if pins have bent.
