DANGER !

follow these directions exactly to avoid injury

to self or damage to the pumping unit. Be care-

ful to keep the inner and outer magnets at least

(1) foot apart until step 4. Do not engage the

magnets in any other fashion.

1.

Inspect the magnets for any steel objects, which may be

attached. Remove any foreign material.
MD2-B Couplings:

Mount the outer magnet assembly. Locate the outer

magnet assembly per dimension

(See figure 18).

MD2- C Couplings:

Units using a NEMA C-face frame motor will require

an adaptor plate. Mount the adaptor plate to the

motor if it was removed. Mount the outer magnet

assembly. Locate the outer magnet assembly per

dimension

(See figure 18).

Apply Loctite® and tighten the setscrews onto the motor

or bearing carrier key and shaft.

2. If the bracket is not fastened to a base, clamp it down.

Mount the motor or bearing carrier to the bracket. Reach

in and rotate the magnets by hand to make sure there is

no interference. If rubbing occurs check the dimension

in

figure18 or contact the factory.

3. Check to make sure the pump rotates freely by turning

the inner magnet assembly. Inspect the magnet to make

sure it has not picked up any foreign particles, which

could damage the pump. Make sure the canister O-ring

is in good condition and in place. Place the canister onto

the pump and press on until the canister is in contact

with the pump mounting flange.

4. Use a fully threaded M10X120mm capscrew (jackscrew)

to guide the canister into the bracket. Thread the

capscrew all the way into the bracket as shown in

figure Sequence 19. Use an overhead hoist to support

the pump if possible while guiding the canister into the

bracket opening.

CAUTION !

Do not place fingers onto the front of pump

mounting flange. Align the canister into bore

of the bracket and gently slide it in. When the

magnets start to engage, the unit will finish

engagement on its own very rapidly unless the

M10x120mm capscrew is properly used. Make

sure fingers are not on the front of the pump.

See figure Sequence 19.

Carefully back out the capscrew while guiding the

canister into the bracket. Secure the pump to the

bracket with four 12mm capscrews.

5. Be certain that the power supply to the pump is “Locked-

out”. Check that pump rotates freely by spinning the

motor fan blades or the bearing carrier shaft.

DANGER!

Be certain that the driving means (motor,

turbine, engine, etc.) has been “locked out”

or made non-operational so that it cannot be

started while work is being done on pump.
