AIR AND LUBE REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE. Can cause pump
damage, personal injury or property damage.
A filter capable of filtering out particles larger than 50
microns should be used on the air supply.
There is no lu-
brication required other than the “O” ring lubricant which is
applied during assembly or repair.
If lubricated air is present, make sure that is compatible
with the Nitrile “O” rings in the air motor section of the
pump.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always ush the pump with a solvent compatible with the
material being pumped if the material being pumped is
subject to “setting up” when not in use for a period of time.
Disconnect the air supply from the pump if it is to be inactive
for a few hours.
The outlet material volume is governed not only by the air
supply but also by the material supply available at the inlet.
The material supply tubing should not be too small or restric-
tive. Be sure not to use hose which might collapse.
When the diaphragm pump is used in a forced-feed (ooded
inlet) situation, it is recommended that a “Check Valve” be
installed at the air inlet.
Secure the diaphragm pump legs to a suitable surface to in-
sure against damage by vibration.
MAINTENANCE
Refer to the part views and descriptions as provided on page 4
through 7 for parts identication and Service Kit information.
Certain ARO “Smart Parts” are indicated which should be
available for fast repair and reduction of down time.
Service kits are divided to service two separate dia-
phragm pump functions: 1. AIR SECTION, 2. FLUID SEC-
TION. The FLUID SECTION is divided further to match
typical part MATERIAL OPTIONS.
Provide a clean work surface to protect sensitive internal
moving parts from contamination from dirt and foreign
matter during service disassembly and reassembly.
Keep good records of service activity and include pump
in preventive maintenance program.
Before disassembling empty captured material in the
outlet manifold by turning the pump upside down to
drain material from the pump.

FLUID SECTION REASSEMBLY
Reassemble in reverse order.
Clean and inspect all parts. Replace worn or damaged
parts with new parts as required.
Lubricate (1) diaphragm rod and (2) “O” ring with
Key-Lube® grease.
Use ARO PN / 98930-T Bullet (installation tool) to aid in
installation of (2) “O” ring on (1) diaphragm rod.
For 6661XX-XX6-C:
Attach a regulated airline to the pump inlet; gradually in-
creasing the air pressure (6-8 p.s.i) to check which side of
the pump with air blowing out, and then shut down the
air supplier.
Fasten (7) diaphragm with (5) washer into (1) diaphragm
rod, and insert them into (101) Center body from the
chamber identied with blowing air in the previous step.
Install (15) uid cap.
Thread the other side of (7) diaphragm with (5) washer
into (1) diaphragm rod, but do not tighten it.
Record the angle for the misalignment between (7) dia-
phragm hole and (101) center body holes, then unthread
the (7) diaphragm and place proper Qty. of (30) shims
between (5) washer and (1) diaphragm rod.
Attach a regulated airline to the pump inlet, gradually
increasing the air pressure (6-8 psi) until the diaphragm
shift to the other site, shut down the air supply.
Install the second (15) uid cap.
Note: for details, refer to service kits manual 48495949.
For other models:
Be certain (7) or (7 / 8) diaphragm(s) align properly with
(15) uid caps before making nal torque adjustments on
bolt and nuts to avoid twisting the diaphragm.
For models with PTFE diaphragms: Item (8) Santoprene
diaphragm is installed with the side marked “AIR SIDE” to-
wards the pump center body. Install the PTFE Diaphragm
with the side marked “FLUID SIDE” towards the uid cap.
Re-check torque settings after pump has been restarted
and run awhile.
FLUID SECTION DISASSEMBLY
Remove top manifold(s).
Remove (22) balls, (19 and 33) “O” rings and (21) seats.
Remove (15) uid caps.
NOTE: Only PTFE diaphragm models use a primary dia-
phragm (7) and a backup diaphragm (8). Refer to the auxil-
iary view in the Fluid Section illustration.
For 6661XX-XX6-C:
4. Remove (7) diaphragm, (5) washers and (30) shims.
For other models:
4. Remove (6) nut, (7) or (7 / 8) diaphragms and (5) washers.
5. Remove (3 and 4) “O” rings.
NOTE: Do not scratch or mar the surface of (1) diaphragm rod.
