Slide the rotating portion of the seal (consisting of
the integral shaft sleeve, spring centering washer,
spring, bellows and retainer, and rotating element)
onto the shaft until the seal faces contact.

Impeller Installation and Adjust
ment
.
Impeller Installation And Adjustment
(Figure 2)
Inspect the impeller, and replace it if cracked or
badly worn. Inspect the impeller and shaft threads
for dirt or damage, and clean or dress the threads
as required.
The shaft and impeller threads
must
be
completely clean before reinstalling the im
peller. Even the slightest amount of dirt on
the threads can cause the impeller to seize
to the shaft, making future removal difficult
or impossible without damage to the im
peller or shaft.
Install the same thickness of impeller adjusting
shims (2) as previously removed. Apply anti-
seize (G‐R P/N 18685-031) to threads. Install and
fully tighten impeller prior to installing impeller
washer and capscrew.
NOTE
At the slightest sign of binding, immediately back
the impeller off, and check the threads for dirt.
Do
not
try to force the impeller onto the shaft
.
A clearance of .025 to .040 inch (0,64 to 1,02 mm)
between the impeller and the seal plate is recom
mended for maximum pump efficiency. Measure
this clearance, and add or remove impeller adjust
ing shims as required.
Proceed with
Rotating Assembly Installation
be
fore installing the impeller capscrew and washer
(26 and 27). The rotating assembly must be in
stalled in the pump casing in order to torque the im
peller capscrew.
After the rotating assembly is installed in the pump
casing, coat the threads of the impeller capscrew
(27) with thread locker (G-R P/N 18771-109) and
install the impeller washer (26) and capscrew;
torque the capscrew to 90 ft. lbs. (1080 in. lbs. or
12,4 m. kg.).
Rotating Assembly Installation
(Figure 1)
NOTE
There is a 1‐1/2 inch diameter socket head pipe
plug located in the side of the bearing housing. This
hole is required for manufacturing purposes only;
therefore the pipe plug should never require remov
al.
Install the O‐rings (5 and 8) and lubricate them with
light grease. Ease the rotating assembly into the
pump casing using the installation tool.
Be careful
not to damage the O‐ring.
Install the rotating assembly adjusting spacers
(37) and secure the rotating assembly to the pump
casing with the hardware (11 and 36).
To set the impeller and wear plate clearance, refer
to the
Back Cover Installation And Adjustment
.
Back Cover Installation And Adjustment
(Figures 1 and 8)
If the wear plate (3) was removed for replacement,
carefully center it on the back cover and secure it
with the hardware (6 and 7). The wear plate
must
be concentric to prevent binding when the back
cover is installed.
Clearance between the impeller and wear plate is
adjusted using four adjusting screws and locking
collars. There are 18 detents on the I.D. of each
locking collar (10). Indexing the collars one detent
on the adjusting screws represents approximately
.005 inch (0,13 mm) of wear plate clearance. The
recommended clearance between the wear plate
and the impeller is .010 to .020 inch (0,25 to 0,50
mm).
Replace the back cover O‐rings (5 and 8) and lubri
cate them with a generous amount of No. 2 grease.
Clean any scale or debris from the contacting sur
faces in the pump casing that might interfere or
prevent a good seal with the back cover.
