2.5 Position the 86/87 with the gland tight against the seal chamber

face. Turn the gland so that the barrier taps are positioned so that

the associated piping will clear the bearing frame. Tighten the

gland nuts evenly in a diagonal sequence. Do not over tighten

the gland nuts, as this can warp seal parts and cause leakage.

2.6 Assemble the pump. Avoid

pipe strain. Align coupling

properly.

2.7 With the impeller, shaft,

coupling, and bearings in their

final operating positions, tighten

the 86/87 set screws.

See Figure 5.

2.8 Rotate the setting device 180°.

Loosen the hex head bolts

holding the bronze setting

devices and rotate 180° to

clear the drive collar. Retighten

the hex head bolts to store the

setting devices on the gland.

See Figure 6.

2.9 Turn the shaft by hand to

ensure unobstructed operation.

2.10 See Operational

Recommendations before

start-up.
