Checking/Replacing Rotor Seal
Over time seals may become brittle and develop cracks. To ensure optimal rotor performance, check the
inner and outer seals of the rotor regularly for any tears or cracks. The center seal is user replaceable.
The outer seal is part of the rotor bowl
– if this seal becomes worn or damaged a new rotor bowl should
be purchased.
Contact customer service or your distributor to purchase a rotor seal kit (P/N 01-006166-001), which
includes the center seal and drive cone o-rings, or a new rotor bowl (P/N 01-006168-001), if necessary.
To replace the center seal, simply pull the seal off of the rotor bowl and press on the seal as shown in the
figure.
Checking/Replacing Drive Cone O-rings
Over time the drive cone o-rings may become either worn or rough. If the o-rings need replacing, remove
the o-rings with a paperclip or tweezers and slide the new o-rings into the grooves. The o-rings are two
different sizes
– the large o-ring (P/N 23-003019-137) fits the large diameter groove and the small o-ring
(P/N 23-003019-128) fits the smaller diameter groove. Both o-rings and the center seal are included in
the rotor seal kit (P/N 01-006166-001).
