This invention is an eccentric pushrod cover device for high-volume double diaphragm pumps which provides protection of the operator from the pushrod during the operation of the pump. The eccentric pushrod cover device is comprised of a mounting plate, top plate, and face plate that are modularly assembled. The modular construction of the eccentric pushrod cover device allows for the device to be retrofitted onto existing pumps and allows for quick access to the pushrod for intermittent maintenance. It is anticipated that the elliptical slotted cutouts could vary in size and orientation.
