side.
The neck bush should be fixed in relation to the casing
cover using 3 set screws [6570.3].
Drill 3 holes at 120 ° intervals in the partition
between neck bush and casing cover. Drill the
holes to a depth such that the set screws [6570.3]
do not protrude above the surface of the neck
bush and the casing cover.

carried out quickly.
Push the impeller wearing ring right over the
impeller and let the whole assembly cool down.
Tap screw thread into the 3 holes and remove
the metal chips.
Mount the set screws [6570.2].
Fix the set screws using a centre point.
