For proper operation of the pump and to prevent accidents which may damage equipment and in the worst case, people, you must periodically review
the torques of the diaphragms covers and the DIRECTIONAL VALVE. In the next table are shown the appropriate torques for this purpose:
Torques DF250
Before any intervention: DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY OF THE PUMP.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE PUMP FROM THE FLUID LINE.
1. Close fluid valves.
2. Drain the fluid inside the pump. Anticipate a drainage of fluid from
inside the pump.
3. Remove the directional valve while being careful not to damage the
seals shown in the figure.
4. Remove the diaphragm cap.
NOTE: To tighten these screws you must use a torque wrench
calibrated to (see torque table in this page).
5. Remove the cover by gently pulling back.
6. Remove the used diaphragm and place the new one in the
proper position.

When reassembling the diaphragm lid with its nuts, please follow the
torque sequence as shown in the picture. It is crucial to not use the
required torque values until the diaphragm lid is fully approximated to the
central body using the screws.
