5.1 For proper seal installation, you must obtain the correct seal assembly drawing for
your application.
5.2 Inspect pump shaft. Clean and remove any burrs, nicks, scratches, etc., which could
cause damage to gaskets when installing cartridge seal. Ensure gland and sleeve
gaskets are installed. It may be necessary to lubricate the shaft with grease to prevent
damage to sleeve gasket during installation.
5.3 Carefully install the seal onto the shaft and locate against the face of the seal
chamber. Take care not to impact the seal cartridge as damage to internal compo-
nents can occur.
5.4 Orient ports on the seal cartridge as shown on the seal assembly drawing.
5.5 Evenly torque gland bolts/nuts to prevent uneven gland pressure against the seal
chamber.
5.6 Adjust bearings, coupling, and impeller so that the shaft is in its final operating
position.
