PUMP, INNER MAGNET AND CANISTER ASSEMBLY

Series MD2-B and MD2-C, All Sizes

1. Remove the piping to the ports and remove the

capscrews securing the pump to the bracket. Support

the pump with an overhead hoist if possible. Use the

M10 x 120 capscrew (jackscrew) in the bracket to

separate the inner magnet from the outer.

(See figure

Sequence 10).

CAUTION !

Use extreme caution, when pulling the in-

ner magnet away from the outer magnet (see

figure 10). Do not place your fingers between

the pump mounting flange and the face of the

bracket. If you do not completely pull the pump

out it will snap back and could pinch a finger or

hand. Once the inner magnet is removed from

the bracket be careful setting it down as it will
attract any iron or steel object.

2. The canister will contain some liquid, therefore use care

while removing from the pump and pull it straight off.

4. Do not remove the O-ring unless it is bad, especially

if PTFE (derivative) encapsulated. If a new O-ring is

required, follow instructions in the

ASSEMBLY section

on

page 10.

5. You should be able to visually inspect the outer magnets

from the end of the bracket. If removal is necessary,

start by removing the (4) capscrews

(See figure 12)

and separate the bracket from the motor or bearing

carrier. Loosen the 2 setscrews on the outer shell hub

and slide the outer magnet assembly off the shaft. If

the unit features a bearing carrier,

refer to Page 9 for

disassembly of the bearing carrier housing.
