Pump To Engine Assembly (SAE)
Engine
Dimension "A" MUST be
less than dimension "B".
NOTE:
When the coupling is correctly assembled, the hub will not bottom out
on the shaft splines. If it should bottom out, reverse the coupling on the
shaft as shown to gain clearance. If coupler is reversed, verify clearance
between ywheel and coupler as indicated in FIGURE 5 or premature coupler
and/or pump failure may occur.
Preparation for Assembly of Pump on Engine
• Clean face and register fit over flywheel housing
and flywheel as necessary to remove all grease,
dirt or rust (and all traces of rust preventative)
which would interfere with installation of pump
and/or prevent correct alignment. If flywheel is
fitted with a pilot bearing for a transmission shaft,
remove and discard. The pilot bearing is not
required for installation of the pump end, and
could interfere with the pump shaft.
• Examine shaft spine closely. Use a file, if necessary,
to remove any burrs that would prevent
coupling from sliding freely onto the shaft.
• Lubricate pump shaft spline liberally with
anti-seize.
• Slide the coupling onto shaft until it is stopped
against the shaft
• Measure the distance from the engine side of the
flywheel coupling adapter ring to the mounting
face of the pump bracket. Refer to FIGURE 5 above,
Dimension "A".
• Next, measure depth from face of flywheel housing
on engine, to face on flywheel against which
coupling will be bolted. Refer to FIGURE 5 above,
Dimension "B".
• Pump measurement must be less than engine
measurement or axial interference will result in
thrust force on engine crankshaft bearings.
Simply stated, Dimension "A" must be less than
Dimension "B".

Installation Of Coupling On Flywheel
Flywheel Coupling Overcenter Type:
• These couplings are aligned concentric with the
flywheel by register fit on the flywheel.
• Be sure to remove all preservative from the
engine's flywheel.
• Fit the coupling into the flywheel. Align the
bolt holes and engage coupling with register
fit on flywheel. Tap coupling with a soft heavy
hammer, if necessary, to be sure that it's seated
flat against flywheel. Secure coupling tightly
to flywheel with capscrews and lockwasher.
Installation Of Pump On Engine
• Lift pump with suitable lifting apparatus and align
pump shaft with coupling. End of pump shaft has
a pilot diameter, which permits engagement
of pump shaft into coupling.
• Reach into pump suction opening and rotate
impeller slightly until the shaft will engage
the coupling. Verify that there is no gap between
bracket and flywheel housing faces. Rotate pump
as necessary to align bracket holes with engine.
Install cap screws and bolt pump end securely
to engine.
NOTICE: If any interference, or incompatibility of parts, is detected
during installation, DO NOT proceed with assembly. Direct
the problem to your nearest Franklin Electric Distributor.
