GENERAL DESCRIPTION

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The ARO diaphragm pump offers high volume delivery even at low air
pressure and a broad range of material compatibility options available.
Refer to the model and option chart. ARO pumps feature stall resistant
design, modular air motor / fluid sections.
Air operated double diaphragm pumps utilize a pressure differential in
the air chambers to alternately create suction and positive fluid pressure
in the fluid chambers, ball checks insure a positive flow of fluid.
Pump cycling will begin as air pressure is applied and it will continue to
pump and keep up with the demand. It will build and maintain line pressure and will stop cycling once maximum line pressure is reached (dispensing device closed) and will resume pumping as needed.

S Always flush the pump with a solvent compatible with the material

AIR AND LUBE REQUIREMENTS

WARNING EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause pump
damage, personal injury or property damage.
S A filter capable of filtering out particles larger than 50 microns should
be used on the air supply. There is no lubrication required other than
the O ring lubricant which is applied during assembly or repair.
S If lubricated air is present, make sure that it is compatible with the O
rings and seals in the air motor section of the pump.

INSTALLATION
S Verify correct model / configuration prior to installation.
S Retorque all external fasteners per specifications prior to start up.
S Pumps are tested in water at assembly. Flush pump with compatible
fluid prior to installation.

S When the diaphragm pump is used in a forced-feed (flooded inlet)

situation, it is recommended that a Check Valve be installed at the

air inlet.
Material supply tubing should be at least the same diameter as the
pump inlet manifold connection.
Material supply hose must be reinforced, non-collapsible type compatible with the material being pumped.
Piping must be adequately supported. Do not use the pump to support the piping.
Use flexible connections (such as hose) at the suction and discharge. These connections should not be rigid piped and must be
compatible with the material being pumped.
Secure the diaphragm pump legs to a suitable surface (level and
flat) to insure against damage by vibration.
Pumps that need to be submersed must have both wet and non-wet
components compatible with the material being pumped.
Submersed pumps must have exhaust pipe above liquid level. Exhaust hose must be conductive and grounded.
Flooded suction inlet pressure must not exceed 10 p.s.i.g. (0.69
bar).

being pumped if the material being pumped is subject to setting up

when not in use for a period of time.
S Disconnect the air supply from the pump if it is to be inactive for a few
hours.

PARTS AND SERVICE KITS

Refer to the part views and descriptions as provided on page 4 through 7
for parts identification and Service Kit information.
S Certain ARO Smart Parts are indicated which should be available
for fast repair and reduction of down time.
S Service kits are divided to service two separate diaphragm pump
functions: 1. AIR SECTION, 2. FLUID SECTION. The FLUID SECTION is divided further to match typical part MATERIAL OPTIONS.

MAINTENANCE
S Provide a clean work surface to protect sensitive internal moving

parts from contamination from dirt and foreign matter during service
disassembly and reassembly.
S Keep good records of service activity and include pump in preventive maintenance program.
S Before disassembling, empty captured material in the outlet manifold by turning the pump upside down to drain material from the
pump.

FLUID SECTION DISASSEMBLY

1. Remove (61) outlet manifold and (60) inlet manifold.
2. Remove (22) balls, (19 and 33) O rings and (21) seats.
3. Remove (15) fluid caps.
NOTE: Only PTFE diaphragm models use a primary diaphragm (7) and
a backup diaphragm (8). Refer to the auxiliary view in the Fluid Section
illustration.
4. Remove the (6) diaphragm washer, (7) or (7 / 8) diaphragms, and (5)
backup washer.
NOTE: Do not scratch or mar the surface of (1) diaphragm rod.

FLUID SECTION REASSEMBLY

S Reassemble in reverse order. Refer to the torque requirements on
page 5.

S Clean and inspect all parts. Replace worn or damaged parts with
new parts as required.

S Lubricate (1) diaphragm rod and (144) U cup with LubriplateR

FML-2 grease (94276 grease packet is included in service kit).

S For models with PTFE diaphragms: Item (8) Santoprene diaphragm

is installed with the side marked AIR SIDE towards the pump center body. Install the PTFE diaphragm (7) with the side marked
FLUID SIDE towards the (15) fluid cap.
S Re-check torque settings after pump has been re-started and run a
while.

AIR MOTOR SECTION SERVICE

MAJOR VALVE DISASSEMBLY

Service is divided into two parts - 1. Pilot Valve, 2. Major Valve.

1. Remove (135) valve block and (233) adapter plate, exposing (132
and 166) gaskets and (176) checks.
2. Insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the notch in the side of (135)
valve block and push in on tab to remove (233) adapter plate, releasing (140) valve insert, (141) valve plate and (200) gasket.
3. Remove (136) end cap and (137) gasket, releasing (111) spool.

GENERAL REASSEMBLY NOTES:

S Air Motor Section Service is continued from Fluid Section repair.

S Inspect and replace old parts with new parts as necessary. Look for
deep scratches on surfaces, and nicks or cuts in O rings.

S Take precautions to prevent cutting O rings upon installation.

S Lubricate O rings with Lubriplate FML-2 grease.
S Do not over-tighten fasteners, refer to torque specification block on
view.
S Re-torque fasteners following restart.
S SERVICE TOOLS -- To aid in the installation of (168) O rings onto
the (167) pilot piston, use tool # 204130-T, available from ARO.

PILOT VALVE DISASSEMBLY

1. A light tapping on (118) should expose the opposite (121) sleeve,
(167) pilot piston and other parts.
2. Remove (170) sleeve, inspect inner bore of sleeve for damage.

PILOT VALVE REASSEMBLY

1. Clean and lubricate parts not being replaced from service kit.
2. Install new (171 and 172) O rings, replace (170) sleeve.
3. Install new (168) O rings and (169) seal - Note the lip direction. Lubricate and replace (167).
4. Reassemble remaining parts, replace (173 and 174) O rings.

MAJOR VALVE REASSEMBLY

1. Install new (138 and 139) U cups on (111) spool -- LIPS MUST
FACE EACH OTHER.
2. Insert (111) spool into (135) valve block.
3. Install (137) gasket on (136) end cap and assemble end cap to (135)
valve block, securing with (107) end plates and (105) screws.
NOTE: Tighten (105) screws to 35 - 40 in. lbs (4.0 - 4.5 Nm).
4. Install (140) valve insert and (141) valve plate into (135) valve block.
NOTE: Assemble (140) valve insert with dished side toward (141)
valve plate. Assemble (141) valve plate with part number identification toward (140) valve insert.
5. Assemble (200) gasket and (233) adapter plate to (135) valve block.
NOTE: Assemble (233) adapter plate with notched side down.
6. Assemble (132 and 166) gaskets and (176) checks and to (101)
body.
7. Assemble (135) valve block and components to (101) body, securing with (134) screws. NOTE: Tighten (134) screws to 35 - 40 in. lbs
(4.0 - 4.5 Nm).

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Product discharged from exhaust outlet.
S Check for diaphragm rupture.
S Check tightness of (6) diaphragm washer.
Air bubbles in product discharge.

S Check connections of suction plumbing.

S Check O rings between intake manifold and inlet side fluid caps.
S Check tightness of (6) diaphragm washer.
Motor blows air or stalls.

S Check (176) check valve for damage or wear.

S Check for restrictions in valve / exhaust.

Low output volume, erratic flow, or no flow.

Check air supply.
Check for plugged outlet hose.
Check for kinked (restrictive) outlet material hose.
Check for kinked (restrictive) or collapsed inlet material hose.
Check for pump cavitation -- suction pipe should be sized at least as
large as the inlet thread diameter of the pump for proper flow if high
viscosity fluids are being pumped. Suction hose must be a non-collapsing type, capable of pulling a high vacuum.
S Check all joints on the inlet manifolds and suction connections.
These must be air tight.
S Inspect the pump for solid objects lodged in the diaphragm chamber
or the seat area.
