the stuffing box. Never reuse old packing or add new rings to old
packing. Clean the stuffing box thoroughly before you install new
packing.
Check the condition of the shaft or sleeve for
possible scoring or eccentricity and make re-
placements as necessary.

When placing new, non-asbestos packing in-
to the stuffing box, open the molded rings
sideways and push the joints into the stuffing
box first. Then install the rings one at a time,
making sure to seat each ring firmly. Stagger
the joints at a 90° rotation from each preced-

6.4.2 Mechanical seal maintenance
Keep in mind the following general rules regarding mechanical seal maintenance. Refer to the instruc-
tions provided by the seal manufacturer for detailed information.
•
Mechanical seals are precision products that must be treated with care. Use special care when
handling seals. Make sure that oil and parts are clean in order to prevent scratching the finely lap-
ped sealing faces. Even light scratches on these faces can result in leaky seals.
•
Mechanical seals typically require no adjustment or maintenance except for routine replacement of
worn or broken parts.
•
A used mechanical seal should not be put back into service unless the sealing faces have been
replaced or relapped. Relapping is practical only for seals that are 5.1 cm | 2 in. or larger.
For optimum seal life, always follow these precautions:
•
Keep the seal faces as clean as possible.
•
Keep the seal as cool as possible.
•
Make sure the seal always has proper lubrication.
•
If the seal is lubricated with filtered fluid, then clean the filter frequently.
6.5 Disassembly
6.5.1 Disassembly precautions
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 installa-
tion or maintenance tasks.
•
Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state, and local rules.
•
Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals
(IOM) for specific instructions and recommendations.
•
Risk of serious personal injury. Applying heat to impellers, propellers, or their retaining
devices can cause trapped liquid to rapidly expand and result in a violent explosion. This
manual clearly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must
be adhered to. Never apply heat to aid in their removal unless explicitly stated in this
manual.
