6. Replace any hardware that shows signs of
excessive wear.
7. When inspecting the impellers and clear-
ance rings for wear, measure the impeller
hub diameter and the inner diameter of the
clearance ring. Compare these measure-
ments to data in Table 5-3. If measure-
ments indicate, obtain replacement clear-
ance rings and impeller.
NOTE:
If either the impeller hub or clearance
rings are out of tolerance, both rings and the
impeller must be replaced as well as the
mechanical seal.

parking brake and chock the front and rear
wheels.
2. Place apparatus out of service in
accordance with departmental procedures.
3. Obtain access to the pump and gearbox.
Match mark or tag all connections before
