•
With the hose in position the taper-lock flanges can be fitted. With the four bolts tightened up
correctly there should be a gap between the taper-lock flange and the housing of typically 2-
4mm, as shown in Figure 5. All 4 bolts should be fitted to each flange to avoid compromising the
performance of the pump.
•
The holes have been drilled and tapped deep into the housing to accommodate long bolts. This
is to aid assembly when pulling the taper-lock flanges into position
•
When the inlet flange is fitted, it may be necessary to inch the pump in the forward direction to
stretch/elongate the hose sufficiently enough to fit the outlet taper-lock flange in the correct
position.
