ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Numbers in parentheses ( ) refer to
key numbers in assembly drawings
on pages 25, 27, 29 and 31.
1. Make sure all metallic parts are clean and free of
any nicks or burrs.
2. Lubricate the outside diameter of the lip seal (15)
with a light oil or grease. Install seals in both the
drive headplate (24) and gear headplate (18). The
seal lip should always face towards the bearing or
lubricant. New seals should be installed each time
the headplate is removed.
Make sure seals are fully seated. Use
extreme care when installing.
MECHANICAL SEALS ONLY
A. Lightly coat the headplate bores with assem-
bly lubricant.
B. Refer to FIGURE 18. Install mechanical seal
(A) into the headplate bore (C) using a press
and the correct driver shown on page 14.
Drive the seal securely on to its seat.
Use extreme care when installing
seals in the headplate bores. Do not
attempt to install the mechanical
seals without the use of a press.
Blows from a hammer or mallet can
damage the fragile seal surface. Too
much force can crush the seal casing.
Make certain the seal is properly
seated and undamaged before pro-
ceeding.
