4. Discharge Piping

4.1 Allowance should be made for disconnecting discharge

piping near casing to allow for pump disassembly.

4.2 Arrangement must include a check valve located

between a gate valve and the pump. The gate valve

is for regulation of capacity, or for inspection of the

pump or check valve.

4.3 If an increaser is required, place between check valve

and pump.

4.4 Use 3-4 wraps of Teflon tape to seal threaded

connections.

5. Rotation

5.1 Correct rotation is right-hand (clockwise when viewed

from the motor end). Switch power on and off quickly.

Observe shaft rotation. to change rotation:

5.1.1 Single-phase motor: Non-reversible

5.1.2 Three-phase motor: Interchange any two power

supply leads.

6. Operation

6.1 Before starting, pump must be primed (free of air and

suction pipe full of liquid) and discharge valve partially

open.

6.2 Make complete check after unit is run under operating

conditions and temperature has stabilized. Check for

expansion of piping.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Ball bearings are located in and are part of the mo-

tor. They are permanently lubricated. No greasing

required.

CAUTION: PUMPED LIQUID PROVIDES

LUBRICATION. IF PUMP IS RUN DRY,

ROTATING PARTS WILL SEIZE AND

MECHANICAL SEAL WILL BE

DAMAGED. DO NOT OPERATE AT OR

NEAR ZERO FLOW. ENERGY IMPARTED

TO THE LIQUID IS CONVERTED INTO

HEAT. LIQUID MAY FLASH TO VAPOR.

ROTATING PARTS REQUIRE LIQUID TO

PREVENT SCORING OR SEIZING.

8. Disassembly

8.1 Complete disassembly of the unit will be described.

Proceed only as far as required to perform the

maintenance work required.

8.1.1 Turn off power.

8.1.2 Drain system and flush if necessary.

8.1.3 Disconnect discharge pipe from pump.

8.1.4 Remove motor hold-down bolts.

8.2 Disassembly of liquid end

8.2.1 Drain the pump body through the drain plug (4).

8.2.2 Remove the casing screws (1) from the motor

adapter (17).

8.2.3 Remove the pump body (2) and the o-ring (15)

located between the pump body and the seal

housing (16).

8.2.4 Remove motor fan cover (24) to expose wrench

flats or slot on shaft end.

CAUTION: DO NOT INSERT SCREWDRIVER

BETWEEN THE FAN BLADES TO

PREVENT ROTATION.

8.2.5 Hold motor shaft at flat or slot to resist rotation

and remove impeller nut and washer (5, 6).

8.2.6 The following parts can now be removed from

the pump shaft in sequence: Diffuser with o-ring (7,

9), impeller spacer (8),impeller (10), impeller spacer

(8), etc. until the complete “hydraulic element” is dis-

mantled. Note: Each diffuser contains an o-ring (9).

8.2.7 Remove the shoulder washer (13) from the

pump shaft (18).

NOTE: Further disassembly will require removal of the

mechanical seal. It is recommended that a new

mechanical seal be installed at reassembly.

8.2.8 Carefully pull the rotary portion of the mechani-

cal seal (14) from the shaft coupling (19).

8.2.9 Remove the seal housing (16) from the motor

adapter. The stationary portion of the mechanical seal

(14) can now be removed from the seal housing.

8.2.10 Remove the motor screws (21) from the motor

adapter and remove the motor adapter from the motor.

8.2.11 To remove the pump shaft (18) from the shaft

coupling (19), heat must be applied to the small end

of the shaft coupling. This is required to break the

bond of the Loctite #271 between the pump shaft and

coupling.

CAUTION: DO NOT DAMAGE THE SMALL END OF

THE SHAFT COUPLING WHERE THE

MECHANICAL SEAL SITS.

Hold the motor shaft at flats or slots to resist rotation.

Repeat for removal of the shaft coupling from the mo-

tor shaft, this time heating the large end of the shaft

coupling.

9. Reassembly

9.1 All parts should be cleaned before reassembly. Remove

all cured Loctite from parts using denatured alcohol

and wire brush. Allow parts to dry before reassembly.

9.2 Refer to parts list to identify required replacement

items. Specify pump index or catalog number when

ordering parts.

9.3 Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.
NOTE: The impeller spacers must be assembled with the

larger diameter edge adjacent to each impeller.

The last stage diffuser (12) can be identified from

the standard by the holes around its circum-

ference,it is recommended that one of these holes

be lined up with the discharge port. Fix the

hydraulic element by tightening the impeller screw

(5) and impeller washer (6) with a torque setting

of 10 ft. Position the o-ring (15) on the

mechanical seal housing (16), locate the pump

body (2) and fit it to the motor adapter (17) with

the four screws (1).

Observe the following when reassembling the pump:

9.4 Check for motor shaft runout. Maximum permissible

is .002" TIR.

9.5 Apply Loctite ‘Primer 7649’ and allow 2-3 minutes to

dry. Next apply Loctite #271 to motor shaft, thread

coupling shaft in place and torque to 15 ft. of torque.

9.6 Apply Loctite ‘Primer 7649’ and allow 2-3 minutes to

dry. Next apply Loctite #271 to pump shaft. Thread

pump shaft in place and torque to 15 ft. of torque.

9.7 Check pump shaft runout. Maximum permissible is

.010 TIR.
