MAINTENANCE
PUMP SERVICE
This centrifugal pump requires little or no service other than
reasonable care and periodic cleaning. Follow the procedure
outlined below for shaft seal replacement.
NOTE: Pumps use mechanical seals with a rubber seat ring or a
sealing O-Ring. These seals are completely interchangeable.
NOTE: The highly polished and lapped faces of this seal are
easily damaged. Read instructions and handle the seal with
care.
Some models are equipped with an impeller screw, which has a
left-hand thread. Before unscrewing the impeller, remove the
impeller screw.
REMOVAL OF OLD SEAL
1.
After unscrewing impeller, carefully remove rotating part of
seal by prying up on sealing washer, using two screwdrivers
(see Figure 5-A shown below). Use care not to scratch
motor shaft.
2.
Remove seal plate from motor and place on flat surface,
face down. Use a screwdriver to push ceramic seat out
from seal cavity (see Figure 5-B shown below).
