PUMP DISASSEMBLY (Cont.)

7. With the inner magnet removed, now remove the pump

shaft key. Remove the outer thrust washer. 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).

8. Remove the inner thrust washer from behind the rotor.

The casing should be examined for wear, particularly in the

area between ports. Clean all other parts thoroughly and

examine for wear or damage. Check bushings, idler pin and

thrust washers; replace if necessary.

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, page 9.

DISASSEMBLY Of COUPLING

Series MD2 - A4 / A9 Coupling

1. Remove piping to the ports and remove the (4) 12mm

capscrews-securing the pump to the bracket. See

Figure 8. 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 8. If you do not completely

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 contain some liquid, therefore use care

while removing from the pump and pull straight off.

3. Remove the (2) 4mm buttonhead machine screws and

the set collar. Insert brass bar into rotor teeth through port

and remove locknut. Slide off inner magnet assembly

(See Figures 9 & 10). Do not forget this is a very strong

magnet. If further pump disassembly is required, refer

to step 6 of

PUMP DISASSEMBLY, page 6.

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 9.

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 8). Separate the bracket from the motor or

bearing carrier. Loosen the setscrew on the outer shell

hub. Pull the outer magnet assembly off the shaft.

If the unit features a bearing carrier, the bearings

should not require maintenance since they are sealed.
