6.3 Impeller Clearance Adjustment
WARNING:
Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or death.
Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any installation or main-
tenance tasks.
•
Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all inter-
national, national, state, and local rules.
•
Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals (IOM) for
specific instructions and recommendations.
The impeller clearance setting procedure must be followed. Improperly setting the clearance
or not following any of the proper procedures can result in sparks, unexpected heat generation,
and equipment damage.
If a gradual loss in head and/or capacity occurs, performance can be restored by adjusting the impeller. If
performance cannot be restored by adjustment, pump should be disassembled as directed in
and the impeller and casing inspected for wear.
Either a feeler gauge or a dial indicator can be used to set the impeller clearance.
Feeler Gauge Method
1.
Loosen adjustment bolts and nuts (371A & 423B).
2.
Tighten bolts (370C) evenly, while slowly rotating the shaft, until the impeller just starts to rub on
the casing.
3.
Loosen each bolt (370C) until a 0.38 mm | .015" feeler gauge can be placed between the bearing
housing flange and underside of head of bolts (370C).
4.
Be sure that jam nuts on bolts (371A & 423B) are loose. Tighten each bolt (371A & 423B) a flat at
a time until bearing housing is tight against bolts (370C). Be sure that all bolts (370C, 371A &
423B) are tight. Tighten jam nuts on bolts (371A & 423B).
