Inlet Assembly
Inspect the through holes of the Stator (25) to be sure that they are clear.
Inspect the Small and Large Collar O-rings, #9-142-E and #9-141-E, for deterioration (compression set or hardening) or
damage and replace if necessary.

Geartrain Assembly
Remove the Gearhead Lower Bearing Housing (11; drawing 2).
Unscrew the Rotor Nut (43) with an 11/32” socket and remove it with the Rotor Lockwasher (42) from the Input Shaft (30;
drawing 4).
Remove the Rotor (46; drawing 5) from the (30). If needed, use a slotted screwdriver for assistance.
Ensuring that the Gear Train is oriented with the (30) up, carefully remove the Input Shaft Upper Bearing Housing (10; drawing
1) by holding down the (30) with one finger and pulling and twisting the (10) from the Gear Train. Applying downward pressure
on the (30) ensures that none of the internal gearing is dislodged when the (10) is removed.
Remove the #422 from the Gearhead (27; drawing 3).
Inspect the Gearbox Seal (47) for loss of spring tension (indicated by excessive dry deposits of dirty or abrasive cleaning
solution on the spring), replace as required.

Gearhead Internals
Tip: To prevent the internal components of the Planetary Gearhead (27) from unexpected spilling out, make sure that all
steps are done with the input side of the assembly facing up.
Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the Planetary Gearhead Screws (51) from the Gearhead (27).
Remove the (27) from the Gearbox (1) by pushing up on the shaft of the (27).
Warning: If you suspect that the (27) requires service, proceed with caution. If at any time you do not feel completely
comfortable servicing (27), contact Alfa Laval Gamajet Equipment.
Using needle nose pliers carefully remove the internal components of the (27). As they are removed, be sure to arrange them
is such a way that they are reinstalled in the same order as they were removed. Examine the gears of the four different stages
for any worn or broken teeth. Also, examine the main internal ring gear for bent or sharp teeth. If any damage is found, contact
Alfa Laval Gamajet Equipment immediately.
During reassembly, Alfa Laval Gamajet Equipment recommends the gearhead be lightly repacked using food grade grease.
Please contact Alfa Laval Gamajet Equipment for a recommendation on the grease.

Input Shaft Housing Assembly
Inspect the Input Pinion (26) for hairline cracks on the end face or for worn, damaged, or sharp/pointed teeth. The (26) should
be tight to the Input Shaft (30) and the Input Pinion Spacer (35). The (35) should not be able to spin on the (30). Press the
(26) back onto (30) if it has slipped, or replace if cracked or worn.
Inspected the (35) for signs of wear from contacting the carbide (44). Replace if the overall length is 0.123” or less.
Check for signs of scoring and wear on (30). Replace if the coating has chipped or cracked.
The Planetary Gearhead Pin (55) should be firmly pressed into the Input Shaft Upper Bearing Housing (10).
The through holes of the (10) should be clear and free of debris.
The (44) in the Rotor (46) and (10) should protrude slightly. In addition, their running surfaces should be smooth, flat, and free
of chips and cracks.
Inspect the Input Shaft Seal (58) (inside the Input Shaft Lower Bearing Housing (49) for wear by placing the (30) back through
it. There will be drag if the (58) is still good. If it needs to be replaced, pry out the old (58), using a brass pick, and replace it
with a new one. Ensure that the (58) is as square as possible to the (49) when installing it. The internal spring should be up
and visible. Tip: Using the eraser of a No. 2 pencil, apply even pressure until it snaps behind the gland’s internal lip.
Check the Input Shaft Lower Housing O-ring (57) and Input Shaft Lower Housing Seal (48) for deterioration or damage,
replace (using a brass pick to remove the old components) if necessary. The (48) should be installed so its internal spring is
up and visible.
