MAINTENANCE 

MAGNET HOUSING DISASSEMBLY

 

1.  Remove the four housing/adapter capscrews (54B), and 

pull the motor, motor adapter (86) and outer magnet (53) 

from the magnet housing (57). 

2.  Remove the motor adapter capscrews (56), and the motor 

adapter (86) from the motor. 

3.  Place a flat wrench or “plate” between the three bushing 

capscrews and the “C” face of the motor.  Loosen the 

three Capscrews located in the bushing (87) allowing them 

to bottom out against the flat wrench or “plate” and assist 

in removing the outer magnet.  If room allows for the 

screws to be removed completely, the bushing is predrilled 

with jacking holes for the purpose of removing the outer 

magnet from the bushing. 

4.  When outer magnet has been removed from the bushing, 

loosen setscrew and remove bushing and keyway from the 

motor shaft. 

5.  Pump and magnet housing disassembly is complete. 

 

 

PUMP ASSEMBLY

 

NOTICE:

 

Follow all hazard warnings and instructions provided in 

the "maintenance" section of this manual. 

 

 

 

Hazardous or toxic 

fluids can cause 

serious injury. 

Containment can failure will permit fluid 

leakage and can cause serious injury. 

 

Before reassembling the pump, all parts should be thoroughly 

cleaned and inspected for wear, damage, and replaced as 

necessary. Remove any burrs from the rotor and mating 

cylinder (SMVP) or liner (MVP). 

 

NOTICE:

 

The containment can (50) must be replaced if any 

corrosion, cracking, wear or other damage is present.

 

 

1.  Begin assembly on the outboard side of the pump, by 

laying the pump cylinder (12) on a flat surface with the 

intake port to the LEFT. 

 

 

Figure 5 – SMVP Models 

2. 

In

stall the disc (71) on the outboard end of the cylinder with 

the disc holes positioned as shown in Figure 5.  Use the 

dowel locator pin hole to locate the disc. 

3.  Install a new head seal ring / O-ring (72) in the groove 

provided between the disc and the cylinder. 

4.  Inspect both sleeve bearings (24) for damage or wear. If 

damaged, bearings MUST be replaced. If the inside 

diameter of the bearing measures 1.074" (27.28mm) or 

greater at any point around the entire circumference, 

bearings MUST be replaced. To replace bearings: 

a.  Using an appropriately sized arbor press, remove the 

old bearing from the head. 

b.  To aid installation and prevent damage, heat the head 

in an oven to 200°F (93°C). 

c.  Coat the new bearing with a quality grade of bearing 

grease, and place it on the inside face of the head 

with the notched end UP. 

Align the notch in the 

bearing with the groove in the head.

 

d.  Using an arbor press, CAREFULLY press the bearing 

into the head until it is flush with the inside face of the 

head. Ensure that the bearing does not become 

misaligned during the pressing activity. 

5.  Install the outboard head and bearing assembly (23) on the 

pump cylinder with the V-notch down, towards the bottom of 

the cylinder. Use the head dowel pins for proper alignment. 

6.  Lubricate the four outboard head capscrews (21 A) with a 

quality grade of anti-seize compound and install, torquing to 

15 lbs-ft(20.3Nm). 

7.  Install a new bearing cover seal ring (26) in the groove in 

the outboard head. Place the bearing cover (27) on the 

head.  Lubricate the bearing cover capscrews (28) with a 

quality grade of anti-seize compound, and install, torquing 

to 11 lbs-ft(15Nm) 

8.  Turn the pump cylinder / casing over so that it rests on the 

just installed outboard head and bearing cover. 

9.  Remove the four vanes (14) and two push rods (77) from 

the rotor assembly. Inspect for wear and damage, and 

replace as follows: 

a.  The push rods MUST be installed before installing the 

rotor and shaft (13) into the pump cylinder / casing. To 

do so, hold the rotor and shaft vertical, with the non-

driven (shorter end) down. Slide the push rods into the 

push rod holes of the rotor, then insert the rotor and 

shaft into the open end of the pump cylinder / casing. 

b.  Insert new vanes into the rotor slots with the rounded 

edges outward, and the vane relief grooves facing 

TOWARDS the direction of rotation. Refer back to 

Figure 4 If necessary, move the push rods with a 

small screwdriver to install the vanes. 

10. Install the inboard disc (71), head seal ring / O-ring (72), 

and sleeve (24) bearing as instructed in steps 2 – 4. 

11. Install the inboard head and bearing assembly (20) on the 

pump cylinder / casing with the V-notch down, towards the 

bottom of the cylinder / casing. Use the head dowel pins for 

proper alignment. 

12. Lubricate the four inboard head capscrews (21) with a 

quality grade of anti-seize compound, and install, torquing 

to 15 lbs ft (20.3Nm).
