PUMP DISASSEMbLY

6. With the inner magnet removed, now remove the

key (not required on AS, AK or AL) and the external

retaining ring from the shaft. The rotor and shaft may

now be removed by tapping on the end of the shaft

with a soft face hammer (If a soft face hammer is not

available a regular hammer may be used with a piece of

hardwood).

7. Remove the balance plate capscrews and pull the

balance plate out.

The casing should be examined for wear, particularly in the

area between ports. All parts should be checked for wear

before the pump is reassembled.
When making major repairs, such as replacing a rotor

and shaft, it is advisable to also install a new head and

idler pin, idler and bushing, and casing bushings. See

INSTALLATION OF bUSHINGS” on page 10.

Clean all parts thoroughly and examine for wear or damage.

Check bushings, idler pin and balance plate; replace if

necessary.

DISASSEMbLY OF COUPLING

Series MD - A4 / A9 Coupling

1. Remove piping to ports and remove the capscrews-

securing pump to bracket.

See Figure 11. Support the

pump with an overhead hoist if possible.

CAUTION !

Do not place fingers onto front of pump mount-

ing flange or face of bracket. Using extreme

caution, pull inner magnet away from outer

magnet. See Figure 12. If you do not complete-

ly 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 steel object.

2. The canister will probably be full of liquid, therefore use

care while removing from the pump and pull straight off.

3. Remove the external retaining ring (closest to the end of

the shaft) and slide off the inner magnet assembly

(See

Figure 13). Do not forget this is a very strong magnet. If

pump disassembly is required, remove second external

retaining ring.

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

PTFE (Derivative) Encapsulated. If a new o-ring is

required, follow instructions in the

ASSEMbLY section

on

page 11.

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 14) and

separating the bracket from the motor or bearing carrier.

Loosen the setscrew on the motor (or bearing carrier)

shaft and pull the outer magnet assembly off. If the

unit features a bearing carrier, the bearings should not

require maintenance since they are sealed. If necessary,

disassemble by removing the single internal retaining

ring

(See Figure 8) then press the shaft and bearings

out of the housing. Remove the external retaining rings

from the shaft to remove bearings.
