1.  The seal seat (#125) must be 

installed in the motor bracket (#1) 

before the bracket is installed on the 

motor.  To install the seat:

  a.  Place the motor bracket face up 

on a fl at surface.

  b.  Apply a coating of compatible 

lubricant to the  elastomer portion 

of the  seat to aid with installation. 

  c.  Carefully press the seat,  smooth 

side up,  into the seat cavity of 

the motor   bracket.  Thumb 

pressure  is usually suffi cient to 

install the seat.

2.  Install the motor bracket.  This is 

best done with the motor standing 

on end.  Make sure that both the 

"C"-face of the motor and the feet of 

the motor bracket are clean.  Slide 

the motor bracket over the shaft onto 

the motor.

3.  Install the rotating element (#12).  

Lubricate I.D. of the rotating element 

.  Place the rotating element on the 

shaft with the carbon end towards 

the seat.  Place the spring over the 

shaft, with the backing plate up and 

compress the spring to locate the 

rotating element against the seat.  If 

this fails to seat the rotating element 

gently push the rotating element 

down with a thin blade screwdriver 

being careful not to damage the seat 

or the rotating element.

4.  Compress and hold the seal spring 

slightly below the snap ring groove 

and install the snap ring (#4).  Make 

sure the snap ring is locked in the 

groove.

5.  Install the impeller key (#23) into the 

shaft keyway.

6.  The impeller is a slip fi t and should 

slide on fi rmly but easily until it stops 

against the impeller wearing sur-

face.  Force should not be required 

or used to install the impeller in the 

correct position.  The impeller hub 

should be facing out away from the 

motor bracket.  Refer to Figure 5-2.

7.  Next, rotate the impeller by hand, 

the impeller should move freely.

8.  Place the large “O” ring (#7) into the 

outside “O” ring groove in the motor 

bracket.  Place the two (2) smaller 

"O" rings (#8) into the smaller "O" 

ring grooves.

9.  Place the cover (#2) over the motor 

bracket and install the four (4) M6-1 

X 80mm bolts (#19).  Tighten the 

bolts systematically, alternating 

diagonally across the cover.  DO 

NOT exceed 7-11 ft. lbs. of torque or 

damage to the motor "C"-face may 

occur.

5E Testing and Final Adjustment

The pump is now ready for installation.  

Final adjustments will be made with the 

pump in operation.

1.  Connect all piping and fi ll the pump 

with fl uid.

2.  Reconnect the electrical connec-

tions, referring to the colored or 

numbered tape used to mark the 

wires.

3.  Make sure all valves are  opened, 

and fl uid will fl ow through the sys-

tem.

4.  Start the pump and make the fi nal 

adjustments to the M6 bolts holding 

the cover on. These nuts and bolts 

must   be torqued to about 7-11 ft. 

lbs. to obtain proper performance.

5.  Check for leaks on pump  and piping.  

Special attention  

should be 

given to the seal  area at the rear 

opening in the motor bracket.

6.  Under pressure, the impeller will fi nd 

its “hydraulic” balance.

7.  Using an amprobe or similar device, 

check for motor overload.

8.  While the impeller is seating, it 

is common to experience  some 

variance in readings. After a run-in 

period the readings should level off.

This completes the adjustment and 

testing phase.  The pump is ready for 

service.
