wearing ring surfaces for excessive wear.
Impeller
Check wearing ring surfaces for excess wear and gasket surfaces of impeller hub for

Adapter
Clean and inspect gasket surfaces. Remove any dirt or scale from mechanical seal cavity.
Check adapter ring for wear and excess clearance.
Shaft Sleeve
Check for any damage to gasket surface on impeller end, O-ring groove on motor end, or
outside diameter where rubber bellow of mechanical seal contacts.
Mechanical Seal
It is not recommended that the mechanical seal be reused unless the pump has never been
run. A mechanical seal is like a gasket in this respect. Using an old one leaves too much
