To assemble the seal correctly, the shaft must be clean and the following steps carried out.
1 Use Side 1 of the Applicator Tool to push the seal seat (item A) firmly into the housing
ensuring it is located flat against back of housing.
2 Now use Side 2 of the Applicator Tool to push the rotary section of the seal assembly
(item B) onto the motor shaft until it is flat against the seal seat (Fig. 5). The shaft may be
lubricated with clean water to assist assembly.
Assemble the spring and location plate onto the shaft so as to complete the rotary seal
assembly (Fig. 6).
3 The washer (item C) can then be placed on the shaft and the whole assembly held into
position by locating the E clip (item D) in the groove and pushing it into position (Fig. 7).
WARNING
:- Do not install E Clip onto full shaft diameter.

INITIAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•
Insert screwdriver into motor shaft slot located at fan cowl end of motor, rotate shaft by
hand to ensure free rotation of pump.
•
Do not run pump dry. Allow the liquid to be pumped to enter the pump body thus ensuring
the seal is lubricated before switching the pump on. Failure to do this will damage the seal.
•
Carefully check pump and pipework for leaks whilst pump running and stationary before
leaving the installation unattended.
