MQ-D305/D306 SERIES DIAPHRAGM PUMP S— PARTS MANUAL— REV. #2 (08/24/05) — PAGE 13
Figure 2 shows a typical application using the MQ D305/D306 series
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 1.5 inch (38 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 D305/D306 series are 3-inch diaphragm
pumps and are 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 3-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.

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.
Support Body – This unit is equipped with a hinged
support assembly, that allows for easy access to the pump
body.
