11. irected to the pump air chamber by the main air valve The compressed air is separated from the fluid by a membrane called a diaphragm The diaphragm in turn applies pressure on the fluid and forces it out of the pump discharge While this is occurring the opposite air chamber is de pressurized and exhausted to atmosphere and fluid is drawn into the pump suction The cycle again repeats thus creating a constant reciprocating action that maintains flow through the pump The flow is always in through the bottom suction connection and out through the top discharge connection Since the air pressure acts directly on the diaphragms the pressure applied to the fluid roughly approximates the air supply pressure supplied to the main air valve Trouble Shooting The pump will not run or runs slowly 1 Check for sticking air valve Remove air valve from the pump and flush with solvent to remove dirt and debris Check spool u cup and air valve bore for nicks and scratches Clean all ports and replace air valve gasket and u cups 2 Check pilot shaft and main shaft for scoring and scratches replace if needed Replace the pilot shaft and main shaft o rings if they are worn flat or torn The pump runs but little or no material flows 1 Check for pump cavitation slow the pump speed down to match the thickness of the material being pumped 2 Look for sticking ball checks If the material being pumped is not compatible with the ball material the elastom
