SETTING IMPELLER CLEARANCE
Lock out motor power to prevent acciden-
tal startup and physical injury.
! WARNING !
Over time a change in pump performance may
be noticed. Performance can usually be re-
newed by resetting the impeller clearance.
Using a dial indicator (Fig. 10):
1. Remove coupling guards (see Appendix 3)
and coupling.
2. Set the indicator so that the button on the
dial is against the end of the shaft or the face
of the coupling.
3. Loosen the jamb nuts and back out the ad-
justing screws about two turns.
4. Tighten the locking screws evenly until the
front of the impeller bottoms on the impeller
housing.
5. Tighten the adjusting screws by hand until
they touch the bearing frame.
6. Set the indicator to zero and loosen locking
screws about one turn.
7. Tighten the adjusting screws evenly, back-
ing the impeller away from the housing until
the indicator shows the required clearance.
8. Tighten the locking screws and jamb nuts
evenly, being sure to maintain the proper
clearance.
9. Check shaft for free turning, then reinstall
coupling and guards.
Using a feeler gauge:
1. Remove coupling guards (see Appendix 3)
and coupling.
2. Loosen the jamb nuts and back out the ad-
justing screws about two turns.
3. Tighten the locking screws evenly until the
front of the impeller bottoms on the impeller
housing.
4. Using a feeler gauge, set the distance be-
tween the locking screws and the bearing
housing to the required clearance.
5. Tighten the adjusting screws evenly until
the bearing housing contacts the locking
screws. Tighten the jamb nuts.
6. Check shaft for free turning, then reinstall
coupling and guards.
