Remove the pump from the build fixture by 
removing the fixture bolt from underneath the 
fixture and lifting off the shaft stub. Lay the pump 
horizontal on workbench or horizontal support.  
 

CAUTION:

 On pumps with higher stage counts, 

support center of pump when laying it horizontal to 
prevent the pump from bowing.

Check that the pump shaft spins freely by inserting 
the appropriate Motor Shaft tool into the coupling 
and rotating. 

17. 

Check that the shaft height is within the defined 
range. See Table 3.0 for dimensions. Measure with a 
shaft height gauge.
