ToDisassemble Pump:
CAUTION:DRAIN THE WATER FROMTHE PLUMBINGLINES BEFORE DISCONNECTINGTHE PUMP,
ALWAYS PROTECTTHE MOTOR FROMPOSSIBLE WATER DAMAGE.
Removing Suction Cover:
1.Removethecoverbyremovingthescrewssecuring the covertothe volute(casing). Thesescrews
arelocated attheperimeter of the cover.
2.Notetheorientationof the loosewear ring ontheimpellerhubbeforedisassembling.
Removing Impeller:
1.Hold the motorshaftfromrotating asfollows:At the rearofthemotor,insertawide blade
screwdriver in theshaft end slot, or useaneedle nose“visegrip” or plierstohold the shaft between
the motor faceandimpellersleeveopening. Caution: Donotgrip impeller sleeve.
2.Turnthe impellercounterclockwise until it iscompletelyfreefromthe motorshaft thread.
Removing the Volute(Casing) fromthe Motor:

steelcollarside.Using atwisting motion,pushuntilthe steel collartouchesthe baseofthe
sleeve.
2.Seal StationaryAssembly: CeramicRing, Rubber Boot
a.Beforeinstalling the stationaryassembly, applywater totherubberboot’s ribbings.
b.Being careful nottodamagethe ceramic ring surface,pressthe seal assemblysquarelyinto
the seal cavityofthe volute.
Reinstalling the Volute(Casing) tothe Motor:
1.Align the fourboltslocatedatthe rearofthemotor, withthe 4volutelegs.Theseboltsextend
throughtheentirelengthofthemotor, intothelegsof thevolute.
2.Pre-tighten the fourbolts.Makesurethatthe motorshaft isaccuratelylocated in the centerof(not
touching)the ceramicring.
3.Whenthe motorshaft isproperlylocated,tighten the fourboltstosecurethe volutein place.
Reinstalling the Impeller:
1.Hold the motorshaftfromrotating asfollows:At the rearofthemotor,insertawide blade
screwdriver in theshaft end slot, or useaneedle nose“visegrip” or plierstohold the shaft between
the motor faceandimpellersleeveopening.
2.Thread theimpellerclockwiseoverthemotorshaft. Handtightenonly.Makesuretheseal carbon
diskisincontact withceramic ring. Caution: Donotgrip impellersleeve.
3.Reinstallthe wear ring over theimpeller hub incorrect orientation.
Reinstalling the Suction Cover:
1.Inspect the o-ringfordamage. Replaceifnecessary.
2.Properlyinstall the o-ringon thecover beforemounting the cover tothevolute.
3.Covercan be mounted tothevolutein one orientation only.An“aligning”featureis built-in with
eachpart,toensurepropermounting.When properlyaligned, the covershould slide in easily.
4.Securethecovertothevolute withscrews.Tightenallscrewsalternately(crisscrossingthe cover)
toachievepropero-ring compression and coverseating.
5.Rotatethe impellerbyhandtomakesurethat it isrotatingfreely, without anyinterference.
Reconnecting the PumpUnit:
1.Clean the seals,gaskets,oro-rings oftheplumbing connectors.Replaceifcracked,worn,or
damaged.
2.Reconnectthe plumbing linestothe pump. Hand tighten only.
3.Besurethatthepumpunitis secured properlytothe platformorbase,ifapplicable.Tighten the
boltsifnecessary.
4.Reconnectthe power supply.Besurethat allwiresareproperlyand securelyconnected.
Toorderreplacement parts please contactyourlocal authorizeddealer.
