1.0 Introduction to Your Snapdragon Coalescer
Thank you for purchasing the Zebra® Snapdragon™ Si­erra™ Coalescer System to meet your oil maintenance challenges.
This system is designed to be utilized on straight oil ap­plications to lter out ne particulate and separate any water-based liquid content. The oils will accumulate inside the tank, and then be drawn through the ultra lter to remove particulate. The ltered oil will then be delivered against pressure to your holding vessel.
The water-based liquid content of your solution, if any, will remain at the bottom the tank for manual discharge to your waste container. Please make sure to discharge the water portion on a timely basis so that oils are always being fed to the ultra lter. If no oils are in the holding tank of this unit, it will circulate the water portion instead.
Please assemble, install, operate, and maintain this sys­tem in accordance with the guidelines provided in this manual. This will help to insure that the unit performs properly to your satisfaction.

2.0 Precautionary Safety Measures
WARNING: Read, understand, and follow all instructions contained in this manual before starting. Keep
this manual in a safe, yet convenient, place for future reference.
WARNING: Failure to comply with all installation, operating, and maintenance guidelines will void all
warranties, may cause damage to the unit, or cause personal injury.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the user to only allow individuals familiar with, and with full knowl-
edge of, this unit to install, operate, and maintain it. Zebra Skimmers Corp. will not be liable for any damages due to lack of proper use of this equipment.
WARNING: Make sure you have the MSDS for your coolant on le, and measures related to its mixing,
measuring, maintenance, and disposal are read and understood. If you have any questions regarding your specic coolant, contact your coolant supplier’s technical support service.
WARNING: Care must be taken at all times when handling coolant and waste oils. This includes utiliz-
ing safety glasses with side shield protection, gloves, longsleeved shirts and long-legged pants. Sturdy shoes should also be worn, preferably with reinforced toes. Any liquids that come into contact with the skin should be washed off with mild soap as soon as possible. Liquid that comes into contact with the eyes should be washed out immediately with water only.
WARNING: Tramp oils oating on coolant promote growth of anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria cre-
ate noxious gases, such as hydrogen sulde (H2S) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Hydrogen sulde causes unpleasant odors. Hydrochloric acid, however, can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation. If these symptoms are present, consult a physician. Use the Zebra Muscle Coalescer in a well- ventilated area to prevent these symptoms, should these gases be present.
WARNING: Waste oil is hazardous and should be handled accordingly. Observe all proper national and
local disposal laws and regulations.
WARNING: Do not operate this equipment while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
WARNING: Do not put hands or feet in the barrel of this unit.
WARNING: While moving this equipment, slow down before turning corners to prevent tippage. To pre-

3.0 Component Review
Sumpster™ Skimmer
This free-standing skimmer in­take attachment can be mount­ed on the provided rod or on the sump wall with a magnet, de­pending upon your tank depth. Position the Sumpster so the top of the box is 1/4” ABOVE the maximum uid level in the tank. It can handle a 3” uid level drop once installed.
The chip screen will prevent large oating chips, such as aluminum and plastic, from clogging the intake hose or damaging the pump diaphragms and other internal pump components. Periodically clean the debris to maintain the 1 gpm ow rate of the system and to maxi­mize the pump life.
Oil Wand™ Skimmer
This manual at­tachment is used to clean machine ways and other hard to access machine and sump areas, which also tend to accumulate oil. Just connect it to the intake hose when ready to use.
Cam Lock Quick-Connectors
We supply these con­nectors standard with the Sierra. The female is permanently xed to the oil intake hose and the male to the end of the intake attachment. Before making the con­nection, verify that the interiors of these connectors are free of chips, debris, and oil residue to maintain a tight seal.
FM60-7309 Operator’s Manual
Hoses
The 1/2”, clear braided hose is industrial strength and will with­stand use with water, coolants, and oils. Over time, however, they may become stiff, depend­ing upon your overall tank condi­tions.
You may contact your distributor for replacement hose or choose your own. If choosing your own, please se­lect a grade that has a wall thickness comparable to our standard to prevent wall collapse and thus poor system performance. Periodically inspect them for any block­ages caused by debris to maintain system performance and maximize pump life.
Push-to-Connect Fittings
Zebra uses Department of Transportation-rated push­to-connect ttings for vacuum loss prevention
Pump Prelter
The pump prelter is made of stainless steel with 500µ pores to prevent debris from damaging the pump.
It may be cleaned and reused as long as the mesh integrity is maintained. After cleaning and reinstallation, verify that the lter housing and o-ring is free of debris to prevent vacuum loss.
Pressure Limiter
Zebra incorporates a pressure limiter to prevent over-pressurization of the pump diaphragms, which leads to immediate pump failure.
If more than 85psi is needed to draw uid through the system, thorough inspection of the intake attachment, connectors, hoses, and ttings is needed. It is likely that there is a vacuum leak caused by an improper seal of one of the above components or there is a debris block­age in the system.

Pressure Regulator and Lubricator Package
Use the adjustment knob of the pressure regulator to adjust the air pressure going through the pump. It must be pulled up before adjusting.
Check the oil atomizer, lo­cated near the air line and behind the regulator, to verify
Pressure Regulator
that it is running at approxi­mately one drop every 2-3 minutes. This atomizer feeds lubrication to the air line and should be relled with ISO 32 SAE10 Airline Lubricating

D Filter drain
E Unscrew to ll lubricator
(mineral) Oil when necessary. Use of the wrong oil may cause o-ring failure. If there is oil leaking from the muf­er, adjust the oil atomizer valve.
Air-Diaphragm Pump
The 1/2” air diaphragm pump is the heart of the system and should be well maintained. Ze­bra has chosen this particular brand pump for its durability and ease of maintenance.
In normal operation, it will emit a thumping sound. The faster the sound, the faster uid is moving through the system.
The pump can handle lifting uids 15 feet on the intake side. However, it develops great pressures on the out­put side, and care must be taken to never try to restrict the uid ow in any way.
For more information on the pump, please refer to the Third Party Information in the Appendix of this manual.
Coalescing Tank
Bafed Anti-Turbulence System (BATS)
The BATS is made of PVC and acts to remove air bubbles from the incoming uid. In so, turbulence is lessened in the coalescing tank, aiding in the separation of oil and water-based uids.
Pressurized Filtered Oil Return System
The oil return piping system will remove oil from the coalescing tank, circulating it through the pump to the ultralter. After ultraltration, it is then pumped under pressure to your holding vessel.
Ultralter
The Sierra is equipped with a 5µ ultralter, standard. This lter cartridge is made of cellulose and should not be reused, but re­placed, when necessary. Reuse of this lter may cause damage to the pump and void all warranties.
Periodically inspect the cartridge to deter­mine whether it needs replacement. Another good indication for replacement is if the system requires more than 40psi to maintain the proper ow rate. Also verify that the o-ring is free of debris be­fore reinstallation.
Overll Prevention Line
This line, which is the 1/4” clear hose, recirculates up to 10% of the uid back through the right side of the pump to prevent the coalescing tank from overowing.
Ball Valve for Waste Fluid Discharge
The waste uid, whether it’s water or coolant, will settle on the bottom of the coalescing tank. It will be necessary to manually discharge this uid to a waste container be­fore its level reaches that of the oil return piping. NOTE: Waste waters will recirculate through the ultralter and into your holding vessel if not regularly discharged.
The coalescing tank is made of polyethylene to with­stand oils and coolant. It is not made to withstand punctures or shock, so care must be taken to prevent damage.
It can hold approximately 19 gallons of liquid. You will need to prell the tank with oil only in the event that your application requires no oil to be “removed” from the tank in service.

Chapter 4 System Operation & Maintenance
4.0 Installation & Usage Guidelines
1. Inspect the unit to make sure it is in good operat­ing condition.
2. Fill the coalescing tank with 3 gallons of water to ll the waste discharge pipe column. NOTE: If the coalescer tank is not pre-lled, oils will enter this column and your rst waste discharge may contain oil until this column lls with water-based uid.
3. Secure the ltered oil return hose to your pre­ferred holding vessel using the magnet, pro­vided.
4. Install your preferred uid intake attachment, ac­cording to the guidelines in Section 3.0, quick­connecting it to the uid intake hose.
5. Connect your air hose to the air connection t­ting.
6. Lift the air regulator knob and adjust until the pressure is approximately 10-20 psi. NOTE: You will need to adjust this pressure higher as the lters ll with debris, if there is a blockage in a line or tting, or there is a loss of vacuum pressure due to an improper seal. In each of the previous cases, it is recommended to correct the problem and not use excessive pressure to operate the system. This will ensure a proper ow rate for maximum oil/water separation.
4.1 Oil Accumulation for Ultraltration & Waste Discharge
Once the uid is drawn into the coalescing tank, it will begin to separate into two main layers. The oil com­ponent will oat towards the top of the tank and wa­ter-based uids will accumulate near the bottom of the coalescing tank. The degree of this separation will be strictly determined by these factors:
• The strength of the water-based uids anti-emulsi-
cation components (as in metalworking uid, aka coolants)
• The age and quality of the water-based uid to be
manually discharged
• The age and quality of the oil to be ultraltered
• Chemical instabilities caused by other additives en-
tering uid pool
• The ow rate of the coalescing system
Maintain a regulated ow rate so it provides for a proper hold time for all uids to separate, usually 1-2 gallons per minute.
If there is not a complete separation of the oil and water portions, then a slower ow rate may be necessary, as your uids have lost the ability to gravity separate within 10-20 minutes. You may notice a third layer which does not completely separate at all. These are called inverse layers, and are generally caused by high-pressure sys­tems which further emulsify oils into one another. Con­sider this layer as waste and discharge it regularly.
The Snapdragon Sierra is not guaranteed to separate a straight oil from another straight oil and/or tramp oils. Before reusing any straight oil, verify its integrity.
Manually discharge the wastewater portion to a waste container, via the ball valve, so as not to recirculate it through the ultralter and into your preferred holding vessel. NOTE: We recommend maintaining a waste water level of about a third of the tank heighth to main­tain the separated uid layers. ALWAYS discharge the waste uid while the pump is running to prevent vacuum loss in the waste discharge pipe.

FM60-7309 Operator’s Manual
4.2 Finishing Up
1. Once the oils have been removed from the tank being skimmed, disconnect the intake hose from the intake attachment via the quick connection.
2. Before shutting off the pump, lift the intake hose out of the tank for about 10 seconds. This will ensure that no liquid is still in the intake line.
3. Shut the pump off by adjusting the regulator. NOTE: See Section 4.3 for details on empty­ing the tank, if necessary, before proceeding further.
4. Disconnect your air line from the air intake t­ting.
5. Remove the return line from the tank being skimmed by lifting it near its connection to the coalescing tank to free it of liquid.
4.3 Emptying the Coalescing Tank
1. Open waste water ball valve to manually drain any wastewater to your waste container, then close (refer to ow schematic in Section 3.2).
4.4 Storing the System
It is recommended to empty the coalescing tank before storing the system for more than 1 or 2 days. Holding liq­uid in the tank can contribute to bacterial contamination of the coalescer, and thus your equipment. We recom­mend utilizing an Oxygenator™ when storing uids in the coalescing tank to minimize bacterial growth.
4.5 Cleaning the System
1. Empty and clear the coalescing tank and both hoses of all uids (refer to Section 4.3)
2. Discard the cellulose ultralter.
3. Mix a 10% solution of a mild degreasing agent, such as Red Thunder™, provided, to clean the coalescing tank and stainless steel prelter. A pressure washer works well, or just clean by hand with the brush, provided.
4. Rinse thoroughly with straight water.
5. Dispose of wash and rinse baths in accordance to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations.
2. Tilt, in an upward position, the prelter and ultra­lter housings.
3. Close ball valve for the oil ultraltration line (refer to ow schematic in Section 3.2).
4. Open ball valve for oils to be emptied from tank (refer to ow schematic in Section 3.2).
5. Place the oil return line into your preferred oil holding vessel. Make sure that it can hold the re­maining amount of oil left in the coalescing tank. CAUTION: Fluid is returned under pressure.
6. Adjust the air regulator of the pump to 10psi.
6. Replace lters, making sure o-rings are free of debris and seated correctly.
7. Double-check all hoses, ttings, and attach­ments for cracks and obstructions.

Symbols
Filter/Regulator Filter/Regulator 12E 05E, 06E & 07E (Coalescing Element)
Installation
1. The lter/regulator should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service whenever possible - repair service kits are available. Keep pipe or tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compound should be used sparingly and applied only to the male pipe - never into the female port. Do not use Teon† tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction. Also, new pipe or hose should be installed between the lter/regulator and equipment being protected.
2. The upstream pipe work must be clear of accumulated dirt and liquids.
3. Select a lter/regulator location as close as possible to the equipment being protected.
4. Install lter/regulator so that air ows in the direction of arrow on body.
5. Install lter/regulator vertically with the bowl drain mechanism at the bottom. Free moisture will thus drain into the sump (“quiet zone”) at the bottom of the bowl.
6. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the lter/regulator body for your convenience. It is necessary to install a gauge or socket pipe plugs into each port during installation.
Operation
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the lter. Units with coalescing elements (e.g. 12E series) also remove oil. For coalescing units, a 5 micrometer pre-lter is recommended to protect and prolong the life of the coalescent lter element.
2. Manual drain lters must be drained regularly before the separated moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the bafe or end cap.
3. The lter element should be removed and replaced when pressure differential across the lter is 69 kPa (10 psig).
4. Before turning on the air supply, turn the knob counterclockwise until compression is released from the pressure control spring. Then turn knob clockwise and adjust
regulator to desired downstream pressure. This permits pressure to build up slowly in the downstream line.
5. To decrease regulated pressure settings, always reset from a pressure lower than the nal setting required. Example, lowering the secondary pressure from 550 to 410 kPa (80 to 60 psig) is best accomplished by dropping the secondary pressure to 350 kPa (50 psig), then adjusting upward to 410 kPa (60 psig).
6. When desired secondary pressure settings have been reached, push the knob down to lock this pressure setting.
Service
Caution: Disconnect or shut off air supply and exhaust the primary and secondary pressures before servicing unit. Turning the adjusting knob counterclockwise does not vent downstream pressure on non-relieving regulators. Downstream pressure must be vented before servicing regulator.
Note: Grease packets are supplied with kits for lubrication of seals. Use only mineral based grease or oils. Do not use synthetic oils such as esters. Do not use silicones.
Note: After servicing unit, turn on air supply and adjust regulator to the desired downstream pressure. Check unit for leaks. If leakage occurs, do not operate ­conduct repairs and retest.

Installation
1. This unit should be installed with reasonable accessibility for service whenever possible - repair service kits are available. Keep pipe and tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe joint compounds should be used sparingly and applied only to the male pipe - never into the female port. Do not use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break off and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
2. Install unit so that air ow is in the direction of arrow. Installation must be upstream of and close to devices it is to service (valve, cylinder, tool etc.). Mounting of regulators may be in any position; mounting of lter/regulators must be vertical as shown in gure.
3. Gauge ports are located on both sides of the regulator body for your convenience. It is necessary to install a gauge or pipe plug into each port during installation.
4. To protect regulator units against rust, pipe scale, and other foreign matter, install a lter on the upstream (high pressure) side as close to the regulator as possible.
Caution: For proper assembly of P3A-RN and 8AR ttings, they must be installed hand-tight and then tightened by wrench 1/2 turn. To prevent leakage past threads, apply thread sealant to tting. Prestolok ttings are recommended. Use of hard pipe is not recommended.
EXCESSIVE TURNING OF FITTINGS BY WRENCH MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE AND RENDER THE REGULATOR INOPERABLE.
Operation of Regulator
1. Before turning on air supply, turn adjusting handle counterclockwise until compression is released from control spring. Then turn on air supply and adjust regulator to desired secondary pressure by turning adjusting handle clockwise. This permits pressure to build up slowly, preventing any unexpected operation of the valve, cylinders, tools, etc., attached to the line. Adjustment to desired secondary pressure can be made only with primary pressure applied to the regulator,
2. To decrease regulator pressure setting, always reset from a pressure lower than the nal setting desired. For example, lowering the secondary pressure from 550 to 410 kPa (80 to 60 psig) is best accomplished by dropping the secondary pressure to 350 kPa (50 psig), then adjusting upward to 410 kPa (60 psig).
Operation of Filter/Regulator
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the Filter/Regulator.
2. Manual drain lters must be drained regularly before the separated moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the element holder. Automatic drain models (pulse drain) will collect and dump liquids automatically. They are actuated when a pressure drop occurs within the lter.
3. The lter element should be removed and replaced when the pressure differential across the lter is excessive.
Service
Caution: SHUT OFF AIR SUPPLY and exhaust the primary and secondary pressure before disassembling unit. (Units may be serviced without removing them from the air line.)
Servicing Regulator:
Note: See Figure 1, 2, 3 & 4 to aid with this procedure.
1. Unlock the adjusting knob by pulling upward (with the unit in an upright position.) Then turn adjusting knob counterclockwise until compression of the control spring has been removed.
2. Remove the bonnet from body. Then remove o-ring (7), piston, lip seal (9), and control spring to service the bonnet subassembly. Unscrew seat (8) to service the poppet (17), return spring (5), and/or poppet seal (6), o-rings (25 & 27), and washer (26).
Note: On lter/regulator units, the poppet assembly & poppet return spring may be
accessed by removing lter element.
3. Clean old grease from unit and inspect seals for sign of wear (nicks, cuts, and scratches). Repair kits are available which contain the parts which are typically replaced.
4. Apply a light lm of grease to all seals and sliding surfaces using the grease packet supplied with repair kit.

various parts during assembly.
5. On relieving 15R units, gently and rmly press vent seal into piston using a blunt
instrument.
6. Install lip seal onto piston with the lips of the seal facing away from the support
ange. Then insert control spring and piston assembly into bonnet.
7. On 15R units, place balancing o-ring (27) and washer (26) into body’s bore. Then insert poppet return spring and poppet assembly, followed by seat o-ring (25) and seat. On 14E, P3A-RN, 8AR & 14R units, place poppet return spring and poppet assembly into bore, followed by poppet seal and seat.
8. On 15R units, tighten seat from 0.6 to 0.8 Nm (5 to 7 in-lbs). On 14E, P3A-RN, 8AR & 14R units, tighten seat to body from 0.9 to 1.1 Nm (8 to 10 in-lbs) of torque. Tighten bonnet onto body from 5.6 to 7.3 Nm (50 to 65 in-lbs) of torque.
9. Make sure that the control spring is still uncompressed before turning on the air supply Turn on air supply, then slowly adjust the knob clockwise to increase downstream pressure until the desired pressure has been reached.
10. To decrease regulator pressure setting, always reset from a pressure lower than the nal setting desired. For example, lowering the secondary pressure from 550 to 410 kPa (80 to 60 psig) is best accomplished by dropping the secondary pressure to 350 kPa (50 psig), then adjusting upward to 410 kPa (60 psig).
11. When the desired secondary pressure setting has been reached, push the adjusting knob down to lock it.
12. Check for leaks. If leaks occur, shut off the air supply, exhaust system air pressure, and make necessary adjustments to eliminate leakage.
Servicing Filter Element:
Note: See Figure 1 to aid with this procedure. 1 . Unscrew threaded bowl and element holder. Then remove lter element,
deector, and gaskets.
2. Clean all internal parts, bowl, and body before re-assembling unit. See Polycarbonate bowl cleaning section.
3. Install deector, lter element, and gaskets.
4. Attach element holder. Torque 0.9 to 1.4 Nm (8 to 12 in-lbs).
5. To assist with retaining bowl’s o-ring while installing bowl, lubricate the o-ring (with a mineral based oil or grease). Then place it on the bowl.
6. Screw bowl into body until it is stopped by body; then back off bowl 1/8 turn.
7. Apply pressure to the system and check for leaks. If leaks occur, shut off the air supply, de-pressurize the system and make necessary adjustments to eliminate leakage.

SAFETY: Transparent Bowls
Caution: Polycarbonate bowls, being transparent and tough, are ideal for use with Filters and Lubricators. They are suitable for use in normal industrial environments, but should not be located in areas where they could be subject to direct sunlight, an impact blow, nor temperatures outside of the rated range. As with most plastics, some chemicals can cause damage. Polycarbonate bowls should not be exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and certain alcohols. They should not be used in air systems where compressors are lubricated with re resistant uids such as phosphate ester and di-ester types.
Metal bowls are recommended where ambient and/or media conditions are not compatible with Polycarbonate bowls. Metal bowls resist the action of most such solvents, but should not be used where strong acids or bases are present or in at laden atmospheres. Consult the factory for specic recommendations where these conditions exist.
TO CLEAN POLYCARBONATE BOWLS USE MILD SOAP AND WATER ONLY! DO NOT use cleansing agents such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, toluene, etc., which are damaging to this plastic.

Congratulations on purchasing one of the most durable and versatile pumps made anywhere. With the proper installation and maintenance the pump will provide years of great performance.
READ THESE WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR OPERATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before placing the pump in service make certain it is compatible with
the uid being pumped. Changes of temperature, concentrations or combinations of chemicals may vary resistance of material. Always consult Material Safety Data Sheets and Engineering Resistance Tables for chemical compatibility.
• Be certain all operators of this equipment have been trained for safe working
practices.
ALL-FLO Pump Co., Inc. 9321 Pineneedle Drive Mentor, OH 44060 Ph: 440-354-1700 Fax: 440-354-9466 Email: email@all-o.com
be used whenever pumping hazardous or toxic uids.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL: Protective eye wear and clothing should
• If a diaphragm ruptures, the pumped product can enter the air side of the pump and exit through the air exhaust. When the uid is hazardous pipe exhaust away from the work area and personnel.
• When the uid source is at a higher level than the pump (ooded suction), the exhaust should be piped to a higher level than the uid source to prevent spills caused by siphoning if a diaphragm rupture should occur.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: Do not clean or service pump, hoses or
dispensing valves when the system is pressurized - serious injury may result.
• Disconnect air supply line and relieve pressure from the system prior to disassembly.
STATIC WARNING: Pumping of ammable materials may cause
a build-up of a static charge within the electrically non conductive pumps. Static spark can cause explosion resulting in severe injury or death. Ground pump and pumping systems when pumping ammable products or when used in a location where surrounding atmosphere is conductive to spontaneous combustion. Optional conductive non-metallic models are available when grounding is necessary. Use grounding lugs and always connect to a good ground source.
• Secure pump, connections and all contact points to avoid vibrations and generation of contact or static spark. Periodically verify continuity of electrical path to ground with an ohmmeter from each component.
• Consult local building codes and electrical codes for specic grounding requirements.
• Use hoses incorporating a static wire.
• Use proper ventilation
• Keep ammables away from heat, open ames and sparks.
• Keep containers closed when not in use.
Maximum temperatures are based on mechanical stress only.
Certain chemicals will signicantly reduce maximum safe operating temperature. Consult engineering guides for chemical compatibility and temperature limits.
• Always use minimum air pressure when pumping at elevated temperatures.
Excessive air pressure can cause pump damage, personal injury or
property damage.
Pump must be reassembled properly after maintenance.
Do not use the pump for the structural support of the piping system.
Be certain the system components are supported to prevent stress on the pump parts.
• Flexible connections will avoid damage to piping due to vibration.
Installation
NOTICE: Re-torque fasteners prior to use. Refer to torque requirements listed in
maintenance manual and attached to pump.
1. A lube-free, clean, dry, compressed air source (or any nonammable, compressed gas) is recommended. Use a lter that is capable of ltering out
particles larger than 50 microns.
2. All pumps should be mounted in an upright position with the exception of the 1/4” models which may be rotated 360° to suit the application.
3. When particles exceed the maximum particle specication of the pump or are sharp enough to cut elastomers install a particle uid lter on the uid
suction line.
4. Fluid suctions lines and air exhaust lines should never be smaller than specied pipe size of pump.
5. Apply PTFE tape to threads upon assembly to prevent leakage.
6. Never use pipe dope on air line connections.
7. Never use collapsible tube on uid inlet.
8. Do not exceed 10 ft-pounds of torque on plastic pipe threads.
9. If changing to a different application reconrm compatibility of uid.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Check periodically for product or air leakage. Tighten any joint where leakage is occurring.
2. When pumping hazardous or toxic materials, diaphragms should be replaced at regularly scheduled intervals based upon pump usage.
3. In freezing temperatures, the pump must be completely drained when idle.
4. When pumping highly abrasive uids reduce discharge ow rate or reduce air pressure to prolong diaphragm life.
5. If you are pumping a material that will settle or compact the pump must be ushed before shut down.
Trouble Shooting
AIR IS APPLIED TO PUMP BUT PUMP IS NOT STARTING
1. Clean lters and debris from all uid lines
2. Make sure all valves on uid lines are open.

1⁄2˝ MODELS MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Check Valve And O-ring Maintenance
1. Flush and neutralize the pump to be certain all corrosives or hazardous materials are removed prior to any maintenance. This procedure should always be followed when returning pumps for factory service also.
2. Remove the nuts (19) and washers (10) from the four long pumping cap screws (35). Suction check valve seats and check balls (26, 27) are located inside of the bottom of the outer chamber (28). Gently remove and inspect for excessive wear, pitting or other signs of degradation. Inspect valve seat o-rings (38). Replace if necessary. Discharge check valves are located inside of the bottom of the discharge elbows (28). Repeat procedure for inspection of discharge check valves.
3. To inspect the manifold o-rings remove the eight sets of nuts, washers and bolts (10, 19, 20) from each manifold assembly and replace if necessary. Then reassemble, lightly tighten fasteners. Tighten all external fasteners to nal torque requirement after pump is completely assembled. The check ball should t into the curved portion of the valve seat and be facing upward when reinserted into the valve seat location.
NOTE: When using pumps built with PTFE o-rings always replace with new PTFE
o-rings, since the original o-rings will not reseal the pump.
Diaphragm And Pilot Sleeve Assembly Maintenance
4. To inspect diaphragms remove the band clamps (16) from the outer pumping chambers (28). If replacement is necessary due to abrasion or rupture unscrew the outer diaphragm plates (29). Models that are built with PTFE elastomers will have a PTFE overlay (30) that faces the outer pumping chamber and a back-up diaphragm (31) on the air side of pump. Pumps without PTFE will contain only the back­up diaphragms.
5. If there has been a diaphragm rupture and corrosive or viscous uid has entered the air side of pump the complete air system should be inspected. After removing diaphragms and inner diaphragm plate (33), the pilot sleeve assembly (14, 40, 42, 45-47) and diaphragm rod assembly (13, 15) may be removed by removing the retaining plates (41) (you may only need to remove one retaining plate) and pushing the entire unit out through the bore in the intermediate (34). Diaphragm rod assembly must be unscrewed to remove pilot sleeve.
NOTE: To aid in reassembly use a non-synthetic, petroleum based lubricating grease without EP additives. Carleton-Stuart MagnaLube G is recommended.
6. Clean or replace any components that have excessive wear, dirt build-up, or chemical attack. Lube all components prior to reassembling. Reassemble pilot sleeve spacers, o-rings and lip seals (40) within bore of intermediate. Make sure that the open side of the lip seals is facing outward toward the diaphragms. Also make sure that the end pilot spacers (14) are at the end on either side of the pilot sleeve assembly and all inner spacers (47) are separated by o-rings. Next carefully insert the diaphragm rod assembly with pilot sleeve inside the assembly in the bore. Reattach retaining plates. Do not overtighten self-tapping screws (24).
7. Take one diaphragm and invert (reverse the natural bow of the material) and with the curved side of the inner diaphragm plate facing the diaphragm assemble onto outer diaphragm plate stud and then screw assembly into diaphragm rod. Push diaphragm rod to opposite side of intermediate and add the opposite diaphragm assembly. Tighten the outer diaphragm plates to 70 in-lbs (7,91 NM) of torque.
NOTE: Inverting the rst diaphragm aids reassembly.
8. Position outer diaphragm chambers onto intermediate making sure that witness
lines are matching.
NOTE: If air valve has been removed, proper orientation of air system with uid chambers must be observed. The top of the intermediate has a single vertical air passage slot on the air valve mounting face while the outer chamber check ball cavity should be pointing downward.
9. When positioning band clamps use soapy water or a compatible lubricating spray on the inside of band clamps to aid assembly. Tap with a mallet on the outside of clamp to help position the clamp while tightening the fasteners. The band clamp fasteners are stainless steel. To prevent galling always apply an anti-seize compound to the thread. Tighten all external fasteners to nal torque requirement after pump is completely assembled.
10. Position the reassembled manifolds making sure of the proper orientation in relation to the air valve for your application. Also make sure that the valve seat o-rings do not shift from their grooves during reassembly. Flat washers should be placed under the head of each cap screw and nut. Tighten all external fasteners to nal torque requirement after pump is completely assembled.
External Fastener Torque Requirements
NOTE: When reassembling loosely tighten all external fasteners adjusting and aligning and gradually, in an alternating fashion, tighten to torque requirements listed below.
AIR VALVE CAP SCREWS 40 in-lbs (4,52 NM)
BAND CLAMPS 13.3 ft-lbs (18,08 NM)
MANIFOLD BOLTS, 20 in-lbs (2,26 NM)
OUTER CHAMBER CAP SCREWS, 28 in-oz (0,02 NM) (Plastic Pumps)
OUTER CHAMBER CAP SCREWS, 30 in-lbs (3,39 NM) (Metal Pumps)
Air Valve Maintenance
11. To evaluate air valve components, remove the four cap screws (11), washers, (25, 10) and nuts from the air valve body (7). The valve plate (5) and shuttle (6) may be inspected by removing them from their location in the slot in the back of the air valve. Inspect for scratches or surface irregularities. Replace if necessary. To remove the plug (1) at the bottom of the air valve, point the bottom of the air valve safely away from people, direct compressed air through one of the lower holes in the back of the air valve body and the plug will shoot out. Next push the air valve spool (2) out of the air valve body. Gently reach in and pull lip seals (43) out of inside bore of the air valve body. Check for cracks, splitting or scratches. Clean components if replacement is not necessary. Inspect plug oring (44) for any damage and replace if necessary and reinsert in o-ring groove.
NOTE: Make sure that the open side of the two lip seals face each other when reassembling air valve. Lube all components with suggested maintenance grease as an aid in reassembly.
12. Reinsert air valve spool inside of air valve body. Place shuttle on middle rib of air valve spool through the square slot in back of air valve. If using original valve plate lubricate side of plate that was facing the shuttle (or if new valve plate is used lubricate the lapped and polished side of plate) and place the lubricated side next to the shuttle in the slot. Press valve plug into air valve body, chamfered end rst.
13. Check that gaskets (3, 4) are not cracked. If damaged replace.
14. After gaskets are pressed back into position align air valve onto intermediate and reinsert the four capscrews with lock washer and at washers. Apply 40 in-lbs (4,52 NM) of torque to fasteners.
