(c-1) Slide dust covers on shaft.
(c-2) Install ball bearing on outboard end of shaft. Apply a film of oil to the bearing square seat on
shaft. After starting, use a driving sleeve, such as shown in
7.5 Ball bearing installation on page
(c-3) Place lock washer and bearing lock nut on outboard end of shaft and firmly tighten. Bend
tang on lock washer into slot in lock nut.
(c-4) Place oil rings on shaft.
(c-5) Go to step 7.
(c-6) After rotating element is lowered into the casing, lift oil rings slightly and place the lower half
bearings shells and adapter on the shaft. Rotate the shells and adapters 180 degrees under the
shaft and into position. Following the procedure, place top half shells and adapters in position on
top of shaft. Make sure match-marks line up.
(c-7) Bolt bearing end cover with gasket in place to bearing adapter on outboard end of shaft.
(c-8) Go to Step 10.

Install pump half coupling on shaft. Heat the hub in an oven or hot oil bath until the hub reaches
300ºF. Slide the hub on the shaft until it is positioned in the same location as it was originally. It
should line up with the mark scribed on the shaft during assembly. Use caution when handling
hot coupling hub. Use of gloves is recommended.
8.
Clean all seats in both lower and upper half casing.
9.
Slide the casing wearing rings onto the impeller. Make sure that the continuous lock on the upper
half of the rings is facing toward the center of the impeller.
10. Carefully lower the rotating element into the lower half casing. If pump has sleeve bearings, fol-
low procedures 6 through 8 in step 6C. Make sure that double locks on wearing rings, bearing
housings, and stuffing box bushings are facing up. The unit should settle easily into place. After
the element has been properly seated, rotate the rings, bearing housings, and stuffing box bush-
ings 180 degrees so that double locks are located in lower half housing. Check to be sure impel-
ler is centered in casing. If it is nut, loosen sleeve nuts and shift sleeves and impeller as required.
Check for free turning by rotating the shaft by hand.
