TROUBLE SHOOTING
Product discharged from exhaust outlet. Low output volume, erratic flow, or no flow.
Check for diaphragm rupture. Check air supply.
Check tightness of (14) diaphragm screw. Check for plugged outlet hose.
Check for kinked (restrictive) outlet material hose.
Air bubbles in product discharge. Check for kinked (restrictive) or collapsed inlet material hose.
Check connections of suction plumbing. Check for pump cavitation -- suction pipe should be sized at least as
Check “O” rings between intake manifold and inlet side fluid caps. large as the inlet thread diameter of the pump for proper flow if high
Check tightness of (14) diaphragm screw. viscosity fluids are being pumped. Suction hose must be a non-col-
lapsing type, capable of pulling a high vacuum.
Motor blows air or stalls. Check all joints on the inlet manifolds and suction connections.
Check (176) check valve for damage or wear. These must be air tight.
Check for restrictions in valve / exhaust. Inspect the pump for solid objects logged in the diaphragm chamber
or the seat area.
