Models Material Certification Reference: SaniForce Product Family Issue Date: November 1, 2011 All fluid contact materials in the SaniForce product family are FDA-Compliant and meet the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21, Section 177 or are of a corrosion resistant grade Stainless Steel. This includes the below product groups: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Warnings Warnings The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-specific risk. When these symbols appear in the body of this manual, refer back to these Warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where applicable.
Warnings WARNING EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD Misuse can cause death or serious injury. • Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals. • Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.
Installation Installation General Information • The typical installation shown in FIG. 2, page 8, is only a guide for selecting and installing system components. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in planning a system to suit your needs. • Always use genuine Graco parts and accessories. • Reference numbers and letters in parentheses refer to the callouts in the figures. Y 9a 8 9b The pump is heavy and may cause injury if dropped. Lift the pump by grasping the outlet manifold securely.
Installation Mounting NOTICE Pump exhaust air may contain contaminants that can contaminate the fluid supply. Ventilate to a remote area. See Air Exhaust Ventilation on page 10. • Be sure the mounting surface can support the weight of the pump, hoses, and accessories, as well as the stress caused during operation. • For all mountings, be sure the pump is bolted directly to the mounting surface.
Installation Fluid Outlet Line 1. Use flexible grounded fluid hoses (J). 2. For best sealing results, use a standard Tri-Clamp® style sanitary gasket of a flexible material such as EPDM, Buna-N. A fluid drain valve (G) is required to relieve pressure in the hose if it is plugged. The drain valve reduces the risk of serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or contamination from hazardous fluids when relieving pressure. Install the valve close to the pump fluid outlet. See FIG. 2.
Installation Changing the Orientation of the Fluid Inlet and Outlet Ports The pump is shipped with the ports facing the same direction. To reverse the orientation of the ports: 1. Remove the clamps (12) holding the inlet and/or outlet manifold to the covers. NOTE: Inspect the o-rings and replace as needed. 2. Reverse the manifold and reattach. Install and tighten clamps snugly. 12 ti17529a FIG.
Installation Air Exhaust Ventilation To provide a remote exhaust: 1. Remove the muffler (P) from the pump air exhaust port. 2. Install a grounded air exhaust hose (T) and connect the muffler (P) to the other end of the hose. The minimum size for the air exhaust hose is 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) ID. If a hose longer than 15 ft (4.57 m) is required, use a larger diameter hose. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Starting and Adjusting the Pump 1. Be sure the pump is properly grounded. Refer to Grounding on page 6. The equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To reduce the risk of serious injury from pressurized fluid or splashing fluid, follow this procedure whenever you stop pumping and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment. 1. Shut off the air to the pump. 2. Check connections to be sure they are tight.
Maintenance Maintenance Air Valve Lubrication Tightening Connections The air valve is designed to operate unlubricated, however if lubrication is desired, every 500 hours of operation (or monthly) remove the hose from the pump air inlet and add two drops of machine oil to the air inlet. Before each use, check all hoses for wear or damage, and replace as necessary. Check to be sure all connections are tight and leak-free. NOTICE Do not over-lubricate the pump.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 11. 2. Check all possible problems and causes before disassembling the pump. PROBLEM Pump will not cycle, or cycles once and stops. CAUSE Air valve is stuck or dirty. SOLUTION Disassemble and clean air valve. See page 14. Use filtered air. Check valve ball is severely worn and Replace ball and seat. See page 16. wedged in seat or manifold. Pump cycles at stall or fails to hold pressure at stall. Pump operates erratically.
Service Service Air Valve NOTE: Air Valve Repair Kit 241657 is available. Parts included in the kit are marked †. Use all parts in the kit. NOTE: When instructed to lubricate, apply appropriate waterproof sanitary lubricant (such as Graco PN 111265). 6. Lubricate the lapped surface of the valve plate (114), and install with the lapped surface facing up. 7. Lubricate and install the carriage pins (109). 8. Install the carriages (108). Make sure the carriages engage the clip ends of the carriage pins (109).

TI17530a FIG.
Service Ball Check Valve Standard Diaphragms Disassembly NOTE: If your pump uses overmolded PTFE diaphragms, see page 18. NOTE: • PTFE o-rings should be replaced every time manifolds are removed. Disassembly 1. Relieve the pressure. 1. Relieve the pressure. Disconnect all hoses. 2. Remove the pump from its mounting. 2. Remove the manifolds and disassemble the ball check valves as explained at left. 4. Remove the o-rings (13), seats (31), and balls (16). 3.
Service Reassembly 1. Install the diaphragm assembly on one end of the shaft (105) as follows: 25 15 a. Install the o-ring (15) on the shaft bolt (14). b. c. 5 4 14 Install the fluid side diaphragm plate (23) on the bolt so the rounded side faces the diaphragm (20). 105 20 Install the diaphragm (20). Make certain the side marked AIR SIDE faces the center housing. 1 3 23 1 6 1 2 ti17650a A d. On PTFE models only, install the backer on the bolt.
Service Overmolded PTFE Diaphragms 20 NOTE: If your pump uses standard diaphragms, see page 16. 25 3 6 Disassembly 105 1 1. Relieve the pressure. 6 2. Remove the manifolds and disassemble the ball check valves as explained on page 16. 1 1 2 ti17651a A 3. Remove the clamps (6) holding the fluid covers (1) to the air covers (21). Pull the fluid covers (1) off the pump. See FIG. 8. 4.
Service NOTE: When you install the clamps in Step 5, orient the center housing so the air inlet is approximately 45° above horizontal and the muffler is approximately horizontal. 5. Position the fluid covers (1) and the center housing so the arrows (A) on the covers face the same direction. See FIG. 8. Apply appropriate, waterproof sanitary lubricant and install the clamps around the fluid and air covers. Install the grounding strip on the clamps, and torque the t-handle nuts to 80-90 in-lb (9-10 N•m). 6.
