WaRninG: Magnetic field hazard. This pump contains
powerful, rare earth magnets. When the pump is disassembled
(not connected to a motor) and the magnets are exposed, these
magnets produce powerful magnetic fields. individuals with
cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, other electronic
medical devices, metallic prosthetic heart valves, internal wound
clips (from surgery), metallic prosthetic devices or sickle cell
anemia must not handle or be in the proximity of the magnets
contained inside the pump. Consult a health care provider for
specific recommendations before working with this pump.

until it is between 3.110” and 3.120” as measured from the
motor face to the top of the drive magnet assembly. See
Figure 1. Align cone point set screw (item 10B) with key slot
on the motor shaft and tighten both set screws with a 5/32”
Allen wrench to 140 in-lbs. (15.8 N-m).
Caution: Do not operate/test the motor with the drive
magnet assembly exposed.
WaRninG: Magnets are strong. To avoid damage and pinch-
ing fingers, tightly grasp pump assembly keeping finger tips
away from the area where the motor adapter and motor meet.
3. Carefully slide the pump assembly over the drive magnet
assembly. Orient the discharge port to either the 12 or 9
o’clock position. Make sure rabbet (step) on motor is fully
seated into the motor adapter (item 11). Align bolt holes in
motor adapter and motor. install (4) bolts and washers (items
