MAINTENANCE: 

VANE REPLACEMENT 

 

NOTICE: 

Maintenance shall be performed by qualified 
technicians only.  Following the appropriate procedures 
and warnings as presented in manual. 
 
NOTE: 

The numbers in parentheses following individual 

parts indicate reference numbers on the Pump Parts List. 

 

1.  Drain and relieve pressure from the pump and system as 

required. 

2.  If the pump shaft is protruding through the cylinder (12), 

remove the head assembly from the pump according to 
steps 4 - 8 in the "Pump Disassembly" section of this 
manual.  If the pump shaft is protruding through the head 
(20), remove the entire pump from the mounting bracket 
(108 or 108B) (See Step 3 in "Pump Disassembly") then 
remove the head assembly from the pump according to 
steps 5 - 8 in the "Pump Disassembly" section of this 
manual. 

3.  Turn the shaft by hand until a vane (14) comes to the top 

(12 o'clock) position of the rotor.  Remove the vane. 

4.  Install a new vane (14), ensuring that the relief groove is 

facing toward the direction of rotation. See Figure 6. 

5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all vanes have been replaced.  

6.  Reassemble the pump according to the "Pump 

Assembly." section of this manual.

PUMP DISASSEMBLY 

NOTICE: 

Follow all hazard warnings and instructions provided in 
the “Maintenance” section of this manual. 

NOTE: 

The numbers in parentheses following individual parts 

indicate reference numbers on the Pump Parts List. 

1.  Drain and relieve pressure from the pump and system as 

required. 

2.  Loosen the coupling (34) and remove the shaft key (35).  

3.  Remove the four mounting screws (28A) and remove the 

entire pump assembly from the bracket mount (108 or 
108B). 

4.  Remove the bearing cover capscrews (28), the bearing 

cover (27) and gasket (26) Discard the bearing cover 
gasket. 

5.  Remove the locknut (24A) and lockwasher (24B) from the 

shaft end protruding through the head (20): 

a.  Bend up the engaged lockwasher tang and rotate the 

locknut counterclockwise to remove it from the shaft. 

b.  Slide the lockwasher off the shaft. Inspect the 

lockwasher for damage and replace as required.  

6.  Clean the shaft portion protruding through the head 

thoroughly, making sure the shaft is free of nicks and 
burrs. This will prevent damage to the mechanical seal 
when the head assembly is removed. 

7.  Remove the head capscrews (21) and carefully pry the 

head (20) away from the cylinder. 

8.  Slide the head off the shaft. The head O-ring (72), bearing 

(24), and mechanical seal (153) will come off with the head 
assembly. Remove and discard the head O-ring. 

9.  Pull the bearing (24) from the housing in the head. 

10.  Place a cloth under the seal to prevent damage.  Using a 

blunt instrument, gently push the stationary seat (153B) to 
remove it from the head.  Be careful not to contact the seal 
faces during removal. 

11.  Remove and discard the mechanical seal O-rings (153D 

and 153G). 

12.  Remove the locknut (24A) and lockwasher (24B) from the 

shaft end protruding through the cylinder (12): 

a.  Bend up the engaged lockwasher tang and rotate the 

locknut counterclockwise to remove it from the shaft. 

b.  Slide the lockwasher off the shaft. Inspect the 

lockwasher for damage and replace as required.  

13.  Clean the shaft protruding through the cylinder thoroughly, 

making sure the shaft is free of nicks and burrs. 

14.  Gently pull the rotor and shaft (13) from the cylinder. While 

one hand is pulling the shaft, the other hand should be 
cupped underneath the rotor to prevent the vanes (14) 
from falling out. Carefully set the rotor and shaft aside. 

15.  Remove vanes (14) from rotor and shaft (13). 

16.  Pull the bearing (24) from the cylinder. 

17.  Place a cloth under the seal to prevent damage.  Using a 

blunt instrument, gently push the stationary seat (153B) to 
remove it from the head.  Be careful not to contact the seal 
faces during removal. 

18.  Remove and discard the mechanical seal O-rings (153D 

and 153G).
