Place the seal head on the rotor shaft. A light lubricant will assist. Proper location of
the seal is with the back portion against the collar. If the seal head has setscrews,
tighten them once the seal head is properly located. Plug the access holes when
finished with the ½ “ NPT plug.
!
CAUTION
The highly polished seal faces should not be touched during the assembly process as any minor
scratch could result in leakage once in service.
Install the gland:
Slide the gland o-ring and gland over the shaft and position it onto the studs on
the bracket. Install the washers and nuts and tighten.
C. Pumps with cartridge seal
Consult the separate seal instructions provided with the new seal.
INSTALL BALL BEARING ASSEMBLY
Place the inner bearing cap over the shaft.
Install the new ball bearing onto the shaft. The bearing may have a slight press on the
shaft so the bearing may have to be tapped on. Ensure that it bottoms out on the shaft
shoulder. The bearing must be pressed on the inner race, not the outer race. Pressing
on the outer race could damage the bearing.
!
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force when pressing the bearing onto the pump shaft, as it could damage
the mechanical seal.
Install the bearing lock washer and locknut. After the locknut is tightened, bend one of
the lock washer tabs into the locknut slot, to ensure that the locknut cannot vibrate loose.
Loosely fit the inner and outer bearing caps to the bearing carrier, using the bearing cap
screws. DO NOT tighten the bolts at this time.
The end clearances can now be set. Refer to instructions on page 27.
REFIT COUPLING AND GUARD:
If you have been able to take advantage of the modular design of this pump, the complete
overhaul has been accomplished without removal of the housing from the base plate or
piping. Thus, your original coupling alignment should be intact.
Refit the coupling and spacer, double-check alignment and complete any final adjustments.
