MQ-D206H DIAPHRAGM PUMP — PARTS MANUAL— REV. #0 (12/15/03) — PAGE 13
Figure 2 shows a typical application using the MQ-D206H diaphragm pump. Please note that this pump is intended for the removal
of clean water and water containing some debris and solids. Maximum size of solids should not exceed 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter.
DO NOT set strainer on bottom of water bed. Placing the strainer above the water bed will prevent the pump from drawing in
excessive amounts of sand and foreign debris.
1. Pump – The MQ-D206H is a 2-inch diaphragm pump and
is used in general de-watering applications. Typical
dewatering applications consist of cleaning out cesspools
and septic tanks, draining slow seepage from small
excavations, trenches and construction sites, or pumping
out industrial waste.
2. Fill Cap – Prior to operation, the pump casing should be
filled with water. Remove this cap to add water to the pump.
After the initial prime, a sufficient amount of water will be
retained in the casing so that the operator will not need to
re-prime later.
If the casing is dry or has insufficient water, the pump will
have difficulty in priming which could lead to premature
mechanical seal wear thus causing damage to the pump.
3. Discharge Port – Connect a 2-inch discharge hose to
this port. Use two worm clamps to secure the hose.
4. Worm Clamp – Used to secure the hose to the inlet and
outlet ports on the pump. Use two clamps to secure the
hose on the inlet side of the pump.
5. Discharge Hose – Connect a flexible rubber hose to the
discharge port on the pump. Make sure that the hose lays
flat and is not kinked. Use only recommended type
discharge hose. Contact Multiquip parts department for
ordering information.

6. Suction Port – Connect a 2-inch inlet hose to this port.

7. Suction Hose – Connect a flexible rubber hose to the
suction port on the pump. Make sure that the hose lays flat
and is not kinked. Use only recommended type suction hose.

8. Strainer – Always attach a strainer to bottom side of the
suction hose to prevent large objects and debris from
entering the pump. Strainer should be positioned so that it
will remain completely under water. Running the pump with
the strainer above water for long periods can damage pump.
9. Transmission Oil Fill Plug – Remove this plug to add
SAE 80/90 EP gear oil to the transmission. Transmission oil
capacity is 1-1/4 pints (550 ml.).
10. Connecting Rod Grease Access Hole – Grease
connecting rod bearing through this access hole. Grease
connecting rod bearing every 25 hours of operation.
