4A Preliminary

Before attempting any service on the 

pump or motor, disconnect the elec-

trical power to the pump motor.  If the 

pump and motor are to be removed 

as a unit, note the wiring configura

-

tion.  Use colored or numbered tape 

to mark the wire connections of the 

motor and power source, for recon-

nection.  If the pump is being used to 

transfer hot liquid, let the pump and 

liquid cool before starting disassem-

bly.

1.  Disconnect the inlet and outlet pip-

ing before unbolting the pump and 

motor.  If the pipes are corroded, 

use penetrating oil on the threads 

to aid in removal.

2.  Unbolt the motor from the base 

and remove the unit.  All work on 

the unit should be performed on 

an elevated workbench whenever 

possible.

The disassembly and reassembly 

procedures are broken into four sec-

tions covering the following units:

4B — Disassembly of the C3 and P3 

Units (3 hp and under)

4C — Disassembly of the C15 and 

P15 Units (5 hp and up)

4D — Reassembly of the D3 (E51) 

Units 

4F — Reassembly of the C3 and P3 

Units

4G — Reassembly of the C15 and 

P15 Units

4H — Reassembly of the D3 (E51) 

Units

Exploded views of each unit, Figures 

4-4, 4-5, 4-11, and 4-12, are provided 

for referencing the numbers in the 

following procedures, i.e. (#1), motor 

bracket.

4B Disassembly (C3 and P3)

The following tools and equipment 

are needed for disassembly of C3 

and P3 units:

1.  Soft plastic or wooden mallet.

2.  Small ball peen hammer.

3.  9/16” wrench or socket.

4.  5/32” hex wrench.

5.  Penetrating oil.

6.  1” wood dowel (Approx. 6” long).

7.  Thin blade screwdriver.

8.  Two large blade screwdrivers.

9.  Cealube G or similar glycol base 

lubricant. (DO NOT use petroleum 

products.)

To disassemble the pump:

Refer to Figures 4-4 and 4-5 for refer-

ence to the numbered parts in the 

procedures below.

1.  Remove all liquid from the pump.  

Air blown through the pump will 

remove the water quickly.

2.  Remove the two (2) nuts (#20), 

and the two (2) 3/8” X 4” bolts 

(#19) from the cover (#2).

3.  Remove the cover.  In some 

cases light tapping with a plastic 

or wooden mallet on the outside 

diameter of the cover may be 

required to loosen it from the 

motor bracket.  Care should be 

taken if a screwdriver is needed to 

pry between the cover and motor 

bracket.  Damage to the “O” ring 

(#7) and/or impeller can result.

4.  Remove the impeller (#11), refer 

to Figure 4-1.  The impeller  is a 

slip fit and, under normal condi

-

tions, can be removed by gently 

tapping on the end of the shaft 

sleeve with a mallet.  Leave the 

impeller key (#23) in place.  Strik-

ing the sleeve too hard could 

damage the seat or rotating ele-

ment. 

5.  Using the 5/32” hex wrench, 

loosen the set screws (#15) in the 

locking collar (#14), located on the 

shaft sleeve between the motor 

bracket and the motor face.  The 

collar should now be loose on the 

sleeve.  Note the condition of the 

setscrew in the collar and replace 

if necessary.

6.  Remove the shaft sleeve (#17).  

The sleeve is a keyed fit and is 

removed using two large screw-

drivers, Refer to Figure 4-2.

  a.  Insert the blades of the 

screwdrivers between the 

springholder on the rotating 

element and the shoulder of the 

shaft sleeve.

  b.  Holding the screwdrivers at 

approximately 3 o’clock and 

9 o’clock, push the handles in 

toward the motor body, using 

the motor bracket for leverage.  

7.  In some cases a rocking motion of 

the screwdrivers will be neces-

sary to break the sleeve loose.  

Normally the rotating element will 

slide off with the sleeve.  DO NOT 

attempt to remove the sleeve by 

rotating it.  (Previous models have 

used a threaded shaft and differ-

ent procedures are required in 

these cases.)

8.  Remove the rotating element 

from the sleeve.  Refer to Fig-

ure 4-3.  The element normally 

adheres tightly to the sleeve and 

some force may be necessary to 

remove it.  This is common and 

if care is taken, the element can 

be reassembled and reused.  

It 

is

 

recommended that a new 

rotating element be used for
