attempting to service or remove any
component!
CLEANING
This unit has been designed with a
removable volute enabling pump to be
cleaned or unclogged with ease.
Remove casing and volute as described
in steps 1 and 2 under MECHANICAL
SEAL REPLACEMENT. Remove any debris
found inside unit, reassemble as
described in steps 16 and 17 under
MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT.
NOTE: Depending on application it
may be necessary to remove suction and
discharge hoses.
MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
IMPORTANT: Always replace seal seat
(Ref. No. 14), seal head (Ref. No. 13),
and shaft sleeve (Ref. No. 12) to insure
proper mating of mechanical seal
components!
1. Unthread fasteners (Ref. No. 3) and
remove casing (Ref. No. 5) and
casing seal (Ref. No. 15) from
adapter (Ref. No. 16).
2. Unthread fasteners (Ref. No. 8) and
remove volute (Ref. No. 7) from
adapter.
3. Unscrew impeller (Ref. No. 10) from
pump shaft. Remove impeller shim(s)
(Ref. No. 11), shaft sleeve, and seal
head from pump shaft.
4. Unthread fastener (Ref. No. 19) and
remove adapter from pedestal
mounting face.
5. Push seal seat from adapter recess
with a screwdriver.
6. Clean adapter recess before
inserting a new seal seat.
7. Carefully wipe polished surface of
new seal seat with a clean cloth.
8. Wet the outside of rubber portion of
seal seat with a light coating of
soapy water.
9. Press new seal seat squarely into
cavity in adapter. Use finger pressure
only to avoid scratching seal seat.
(This is a lapped surface and must be
handled very carefully.)
10. After seal seat is in place, insure that
it is clean and has not been marred.
11. Using a clean cloth, wipe shaft and
make certain that it is perfectly
clean.
12. Secure adapter on pedestal
mounting face.
Tighten hex flange
screws EVENLY to
avoid cocking rabbet on pedestal
mounting face.
13. Apply a light coating of soapy water
to the inside rubber portion of seal
head and slide onto shaft sleeve. Slip
shaft sleeve with seal head onto
pump shaft with polished face
toward polished seal seat.
Do not touch or
wipe face of
polished surface part of seal head.
14. Replace any impeller shim(s)
removed in disassembly.
15. Screw impeller back in place,
tightening until it is against shaft
sleeve.
16. Remount volute and position casing
seal in place.
IMPORTANT: Always inspect casing
seal. Replace when cracked or worn.

Description
These self-priming (to 20 ft. lift) centrifugal pumps include a clog resistant impeller
capable of handling solids as large as 3/8" diameter (up to 25% by volume). A built-
in check valve assists in priming and a mechanical shaft seal prevents leakage.
Handle liquids from 40º to 180º F (4º to 82º C). For use with nonflammable, non-
abrasive liquids compatible with pump component materials.

Wet casing seal with soapy water for
ease of assembly.
17. Remount casing.
BEARING HOUSING SERVICE
1. Remove front pump assembly as
described under “Mechanical Seal
Replacement”
2. Remove shaft bearing (Ref. No. 24)
and shaft (Ref. No. 25) as an
assembly by first removing retaining
ring (Ref. No. 21). Push shaft bearing
assembly out of pedestal (Ref. No.
20) by rapping on threaded end of
shaft with a rawhide mallet, or block
of wood and a hammer.
3. Ball bearings can now be removed
from shaft.
4. If shaft bearings have been removed
from shaft, replace by sliding
bearing on shaft to shoulder.
Replace shaft bearing assembly by
sliding assembly into housing
threaded end first. Push shaft
bearing assembly completely in by
gently tapping on keyway end of
shaft with a rawhide mallet. Replace
retaining ring.
5. Reassemble pump as described in
“Mechanical Seal Replacement”.
SHIM ADJUSTMENT
1. When installing a replacement,
adapter (Ref. No. 16), impeller (Ref.
No. 10), shaft sleeve (Ref. No. 12),
volute (Ref. No. 7), or casing (Ref.
No. 5) it may be necessary to vary
the number of impeller shims (Ref.
No. 11) that will be required. This is
easily done by adding one shim
more than was removed and
reassembling pump as described in
MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT
section.
NOTE: When adding or removing shims,
it is best to proceed with a 0.010"
increment each time. While tightening
unit together, turn shaft and feel for
shaft seizing. If shaft begins to seize
before fasteners are completely tight,
disassemble pump and remove one shim
and repeat assembly.
2. Once having added one shim more
than original, ensure that volute and
adapter are firmly fitted (check
fasteners Ref. No. 8). When pump
shaft turns freely add shims until it
does strike, then remove a 0.010"
shim. This should allow proper
clearance.
3. Proper running clearance for
impeller should be as close as
possible to volute without striking;
maximum clearance is 1/32" (0.032").
4. Follow above procedure until proper
clearance is obtained. This will
ensure maximum performance.
