If the impellers are properly set on the shaft to dimensions from step 1, then the initial setting clearance will always be too large.
Thus, to move the impeller to the proper setting, add shims between bottom of bearing bore and the bearing outer race. The
following shims are available:
• Red .002”
• Blue .005”
• Pink .015”
