up to the spring.


Slide shaft sleeve (52.3) over shaft (21.1),
larger bore first, ensuring that mechanical
seal faces are clean, free from damage and
square and that gasket (40.01) is correctly
seated.


Ensure that the rotating seal face is floating
against the spring before re-fitting the
impeller.

b) For pumps fitted with solid stainless steel

shaft (21.11) and no sleeve.


Slide the seal face assembly along the shaft
(21.11) until it butts against the fixed face.


Locate the spring and spring holder over the
shaft.


Slide abutment ring (160.0) over shaft.


Ensure that the rotating seal face is floating
against the spring before re-fitting the
impeller.


Locate impeller key (94.01) into shaft key
way.

Relocate impeller (23.0) on shaft (21.1).

Refit impeller lock washer (93.0) and screw
on impeller nut (92.2) and carefully tighten.

Ensure impeller rotates freely by hand. If not
investigate and rectify.

Where used, slide motor tee-bolts (90.09)
back into slide rails (102.01).

Relocate casing cover (16.1) into casing
(10.2), using casing studs (90.2), ensuring
that gasket (40.0) is seated correctly.
