correct position. 

d. Adjust the clearance between front surface of impeller and side plate volute 

casing to be within 0.2 to 0.5mm (0.008 to 0.020 inch) when the volute casing 
is pushed in by adjusting the number of adjusting liners at impellerboss. 

e.  After confirming the volute casing to the casing cover, and screw the casing 

set bolts evenly and tightly. 

 

b. Impeller 

a.  Disclose the impeller by removing the volute casing same way as above. 
b.  Loosen the impeller by tapping gently with a mallet in a counter clockwise 

direction. 

c.  Turn impeller counter clockwise, and remove from shaft. 
d.  Remove the mechanical seal from the impeller, and set it at the back side of 

new impeller. 

e.  Screw the new impeller on engine shaft by turning in the clockwise direction, 

and make it tight by tapping gently with mallet in a clockwise direction. 

f.  Set the volute casing and casing as mentioned above 

 

c. Mechanical Seal
