finished faces; even fingerprints on the faces can
shorten seal life. If necessary, clean the faces with a
non‐oil based solvent and a clean, lint‐free tissue.
Wipe
lightly
in a concentric pattern to avoid
scratching the faces.
Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring,
grooves, and other damage that might cause leak
age. If any components are worn, replace the com
plete seal;
never mix old and new seal parts
.
If a replacement seal is being used, remove it from
the container and inspect the precision finished
faces to ensure that they are free of any foreign
matter.
To ease installation of the seal, lubricate the shaft
with water or a very
small
amount of oil, and apply
a drop of light lubricating oil on the finished faces.
Assemble the seal as follows, (see Figure 2).

This seal is not designed for operation at
temperatures above 160
F (71
C). Do not
use at higher operating temperatures.
NOTE
The white “Chemlon” stationary seat gasket must
be installed on the seal cavity side of the stationary
seat.
Assemble the stationary seat and gaskets in the
seal cap (4) and secure to them to the intermediate
with the hardware (5 and 6).
Slide the assembled intermediate and stationary
portion of the seal over the shaft and secure the in
termediate to the motor housing with the previous
ly removed hardware (9 and 10).
New seal assemblies may be equipped
with spring holding clips for storage
purposes. Remove and discard these
clips before proceeding with seal reas
sembly. When removing the clips, use
caution so that they do not pop off
abruptly and cause personal injury. Fail
