: MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
OVERVIEW
This section describes the removal, inspection, and reinstallation (as
required for maintenance and repair) of the Stainless Max (SM) series
pump components. To completely dismantle the pump, gearbox, and/
or pedestal, follow the disassembly instructions in the order which they
appear in this text. At any point in the disassembly process, the unit
may be reassembled by following the instructions in the reverse.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, these instructions apply to all Hale
SM series pumps.
Service should be performed by a trained and qualified service techni-
cian, or your authorized Hale Products service representative. Be sure
you have sufficient knowledge, experience, the proper tools and Hale
genuine replacement parts before you attempt any repair maintenance.
For an illustrated pump overview, see heading SM Series Overview,
beginning on page 6-43.
GENERAL REPAIR GUIDELINES
Due to the nature of a Hale SM series pump, most service can be
performed without removing the pump assembly from the apparatus.
However, the availability of room, options included, other equipment in
the area, etc., will determine whether the unit must be removed from the
apparatus for servicing.
If a catastrophic failure to the pump assembly (e.g., cracked pump
body, internal seal or bearing failure, etc.) requires removal of the
assembly from the apparatus see section “Pump Head” on page 6-17.
Before you begin...
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY SERVICE REPAIR.
1. Place apparatus out of service in accordance with your depart-
mental procedures.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Set the parking brake and
chock the front and rear wheels.
