ate a hazard and damage the pump or di
minish optimal pump performance. Any
such hazard, damage or diminished per
formance is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE
When appropriate recycling facilities are available,

Suction Check Valve Removal
(Figure 1)
If the check valve assembly (26) is to be serviced,
disengage the hardware (28 and 29) and remove
the check valve cover (27). Pull the check valve as
sembly from the slot in the pump casing (1).
NOTE
Further disassembly of the check valve is not re
quired since it must be replaced as a complete unit.
Individual parts are not sold separately.
Back Cover And Wear Plate Removal
(Figure 1)
Before attempting to service the pump, remove the
pump casing drain plug (4) and drain the pump.
Clean and reinstall the drain plug.
It is not necessary to remove the inspection cover
(18) to service the wear plate (3). However, if the
O‐ring (19) requires replacement, remove the back
cover nuts (17) and pull the inspection cover out of
the back cover assembly (9). Replace the inspec
tion cover O‐ring and reinstall the inspection cover
in the back cover assembly.
The wear plate is easily accessible and may be
serviced by removing the back cover assembly (9).
Remove the back cover nuts (14) and pry the back
cover and assembled wear plate from the pump
casing (1).
NOTE
An alternate method of removing the back cover
from the pump casing is to remove the back cover
nuts (14) and two diagonally opposing locking col
lars (10). Install two 1/2-16 UNC x 2 inch long
screws in the tapped holes in the back cover and
use them to press the back cover out of the pump
casing.
Inspect the wear plate, and replace it if badly
scored or worn. To remove the wear plate, disen
gage the hardware (6 and 7).
Inspect the back cover O‐rings (5 and 8) and re
place it if damaged or worn.
Rotating Assembly Removal
(Figure 2)
The rotating assembly may be serviced without
disconnecting the suction or discharge piping;
however, the power source must be removed to
provide clearance.
The impeller (1) should be loosened while the rotat
ing assembly is still secured to the pump casing.
Before loosening the impeller, remove the seal cav
ity drain plug and drain the seal lubricant. This will
prevent the oil in the seal cavity from escaping
when the impeller is loosened. Clean and reinstall
the seal cavity drain plug.
Immobilize the impeller by wedging a block wood
between the vanes and the pump casing. Remove
the impeller capscrew and washer (26 and 27).
