Periodic maintenance and inspection is required on all pumps to ensure proper operation. Unit must be clear of debris and sediment. Inspect for leaks and loose bolts. Failure to do so 

voids warranty.

Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps

High Volume Dewatering Cast Iron Models 

Refer to pump manual 1808-634-00 for General Operating and Safety Instructions.

MAINTENANCE

 

Make certain that unit is disconnected from power source before 
attempting to service or remove any components! 

NOTE:

 The pump casing should be removed and inspected periodically to 

ensure that any foreign material is not clogging internal pump parts. This unit 
is equipped with a dual volute pump casing. One of the volutes runs 180°, all 
the way from the side opposite the discharge into the discharge through a 
completely enclosed passageway. If foreign material clogs this area, it can be 
dislodged by using a wire or long spring.

MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT

Refer to Figures 1 and 2

IMPORTANT:

 Always replace both seal seat (Ref. No. 7) and seal head (Ref. 

No. 8) to ensure proper mating of components!  Recommend replacing casing 
seal (Ref. No.6) if wear or damage is present.
1.  Unthread fasteners (Ref. No. 5) and remove casing (Ref. No. 12) and 

casing seal (Ref. No. 6) from adapter (Ref. No. 4)

2.  Unscrew impeller fastener (Ref. No. 11) and impeller (Ref. No. 10) 

separately by turning each counterclockwise.

NOTE:  Most  motors  use  an  open  end  7/16”  wrench  across  flats  on  rear  of 

motor shaft (remove bearing cap for access) to prevent shaft from turning. 

Other motor shafts have a screwdriver slot instead of flats.

3.  Unscrew fasteners (Ref. Nos. 3 & 16) and remove adapter, foot (Ref. No. 

17) and handle (Ref. No. 2) from motor (Ref. No. 1) mounting face. Seal 
head will come loose at this time.

4.  Push seal seat from adapter recess with a screwdriver.
5.  Clean adapter recess before inserting new seal seat.
6.  Carefully wipe polished surface of new seal seat with a clean cloth.
7.  Wet rubber portion of seal seat with a light coating of soapy water.
8.  Press new seal seat squarely into cavity in adapter. If seal seat does not 

press squarely into cavity, it can be adjusted in place by pushing on it with 
a piece of pipe. Always use a piece of cardboard between pipe and seal 
seat to avoid scratching seal seat. (This is a lapped surface and must be 
handled very carefully.)

9.  After seal seat is in place, ensure that it is clean and has not been marred.
10.  Using a clean cloth, wipe shaft and make certain that it is perfectly clean.
11.  Secure adapter, foot and handle on motor mounting face. Carefully guide 

motor shaft through seal seat.

12.  Apply a light coating of soapy water to inside rubber portion of seal head 

and slide onto shaft (with sealing face first) so that rubber portion is just 

up over shaft shoulder.

 

Do not touch or wipe polished face of seal head.

13.  Replace any impeller shims (Ref. No. 9) that may have been removed in 

disassembly. (See “Shim Adjustment” below).

14.  Screw impeller back into place, tightening until it is against shaft shoulder.
15.  Replace impeller nut and tighten until snug.
16.  Remount casing and casing seal on adapter.

SHIM ADJUSTMENT

When installing a replacement impeller (Ref. No. 10) or motor (Ref. No. 1), it 
may be necessary to adjust number of shims (Ref. No. 9) to ensure proper 
running clearance between impeller and casing. Proceed as follows:

NOTE: 

A proper running clearance is less than 0.010”.

1.  For impeller replacement, add one 0.010”shim in addition to those 

removed originally.

2.  For motor replacement, add two 0.010” shims in addition to those removed 

during disassembly.

3.  Reassemble the pump as described in steps 15, 16 & 17.

IMPORTANT:

 Be sure that the casing is snugly in place and check shaft to 

make sure it is turning freely (use screwdriver slot in motor to turn shaft). If it 

turns freely, check to ensure that adapter and casing are fitted tight together. If 

they are not, tighten fasteners (Ref. Nos. 3, 5 and 17) and recheck shaft for free 
turning. Tighten carefully, turning shaft while tightening so that motor bearings 
are not damaged in the event that too many shims were installed. If shaft seizes 
before fasteners are completely tight, disassemble pump and remove one shim 
and repeat reassembly.

DESCRIPTION

These centrifugal pumps are self-priming (to 20 ft. lift) units designed for high volume liquid transfer, irrigation, dewatering, lawn sprinkling, etc. These pumps 
can also accommodate semi-solids (up to 3/8” dia.), sediment laden liquids, and liquids with entrained air or gases. Units are constructed of cast iron and include 

Buna elastomers (Viton® elastomers optional, contact factory for availability). They are direct coupled to NEMA 56J frame, 3450 RPM motors which require field 
wiring, no controls are supplied. Each pump is equipped with a flapper valve to shorten re-prime time after initially filling casing with liquid. Handles liquids from 
40º to 180º F (4º to 82º C). For use with nonflammable, non-abrasive liquids compatible with pump component materials.
