Flammable fumes. Activator
contains acetone; fumes
are flammable and may also
cause dizziness, weakness,
and unconsciousness. Follow
activator manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
Spray activator on the area of the
shaft covered by the sleeve (rotate
the shaft for even coverage) and on
the inside of the new sleeve.
4: Apply adhesive around the inside
of the leading edge of the new
sleeve and in a line along the top of
the shaft where the sleeve rests. On
2-1/4” shafts, use two parallel beads
on the shaft.
5: Slide the new sleeve onto the
shaft. Rotate the sleeve at least
twice before butting it against the
shaft shoulder. Wipe any excess
adhesive off the shaft and sleeve.
NOTE: With activator, the adhesive
will begin to set within one minute
of sleeve installation.
6: Once the adhesive has set
(about 2 minutes for a 7/8” shaft
up to about 5 minutes for a 2-1/2”
shaft), complete the assembly of
the pump.
Each new shaft sleeve is oversize for its corresponding
shaft, allowing it to easily slip on the shaft. Saf-T-Lok

648, seals the sleeve onto the
shaft. Assembly is:
A) Safer – No torch required for installation of the new
sleeve.
B) Faster – No need to heat the new sleeve or let it cool
before proceeding.
C) Easier – The sleeve will not stick or gall the shaft
during assembly.
Removal
(Using a LITTLE heat may make it easier to
remove the old sleeve.)
1. Peen the old sleeve along the shaft. BE SURE to
support the shaft!
2. Rotate the shaft 90° and repeat.
3. When the sleeve will turn on the shaft, hold the shaft,
twist and pull to remove the sleeve.
