MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
PAGE E − 7
Inspect the wear plate, and replace it if badly
scored or worn. To remove the wear plate, disen-
gage the hardware (15 and 16).
Inspect the back cover O-rings (14 and 18) and re-
place it if damaged or worn.
Suction Check Valve Removal
(Figure 1)
If the check valve assembly (39) is to be serviced,
remove the check valve pin (40), reach through the
back cover opening and pull the complete assem-
bly from the suction flange (35).
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.
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 (27) 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, and re-
move the impeller capscrew and washer (22 and
23).
Install the shaft key (17). Install a lathe dog on the
drive end of the shaft (18) with the V" notch posi-
tioned over the shaft keyway.
With the impeller rotation still blocked, see Figure 3
and use a long piece of heavy bar stock to pry
against the arm of the lathe dog in a counterclock-
wise direction (when facing the drive end of the
shaft).
Use caution
not to damage the shaft or key-
way. When the impeller breaks loose, remove the
lathe dog and wood block.
NOTE
Do not remove the impeller until the rotating assem-
bly has been removed from the pump casing.

Remove the hardware (9 and 10) securing the ro-
tating assembly to the pump casing. Separate the
rotating assembly by pulling straight away from the
pump casing. Tie and tag the rotating assembly
shims (11) for ease of reassembly.
NOTE
An optional disassembly tool is available from the
factory. If the tool is used, follow the instructions
packed with it. A similar tool may be assembled us-
ing 1/2-inch pipe (schedule 80 steel or malleable
iron) and a standard tee (see Figure 4). All threads
are 1/2-inch NPT.
Do not pre-assemble the tool.
