NOTE: It is unnecessary to remove the end plate (pump end) from the bearing housing. If internal pump
part maintenance is necessary, the bearing housing tap bolts are accessible without removing the end plate.
Refer to MAINTENANCE (Page 15) before removing the pump bearing housing.

Disassembly Procedures
It is necessary to remove the coupling guard for certain pump maintenance and adjustments, such as coupling
adjustment, impeller clearance adjustment, and so forth. Replace the coupling guard after completing maintenance.
DO NOT resume normal pump operation while the coupling guard is removed.
1. Remove the nut, bolt and washers from the center-slotted hole on the coupling guard. Slide the motor end of the coupling
guard half toward the pump. (See Figure F.)
2. Remove the nut, bolt and washers from the driver end of the coupling guard half and remove the end plate. (See Figure
E.)
3. Slightly spread the bottom of the coupling guard half and lift it off. (See Figure D.)
4. Remove the remaining nut, bolt and washers from the pump end of the coupling guard half. Slightly spread the coupling
guard half and lift it off. (See Figure B.)
This concludes the coupling guard disassembly procedures.
