screws in the threaded holes in the front cover (1). The front
cover is removed by turning each bolt one turn at a time - this
ensures that the front cover is removed in an even manner.
Remove the front cover (1).
4. Rotate the rotors (35) by manually turning the coupling between
pump and motor, to ensure that there are no foreign objects
behind the rotors.
5. Any foreign objects in the pump, must be removed. Clean with
air or water, removing the rotors if necessary. See 4.2
6. Re-fit front cover gasket (5) in rotor case (9).
7. Re-fit the front cover (1) by positioning it on the dowels (7) in the
rotor case (9), if fitted, tapping it gently in place with a plastic
mallet, and fastening the front cover bolts (2, 3, 4) to the
appropriate torque. See section 6.1.
8. Rotate the rotors (35) by manually turning the coupling between
pump and geared motor carefully to ensure freedom of
movement of the rotors inside the pump.

4.9 Adjustment of the rotors axial position
To be able to operate the pump effectively and safely, it is necessary
to carry out the adjustment of the rotors axial position after having
dismantled and re-assembled the pump to ensure the correct axial
position of the two rotors. Use the sectional drawing for reference
(page 2).
The measured clearance should be as close to the clearances
described in section 6.8 as possible.
1. Measure the difference in depth between rotors (35) and rotor
case (9) by means of a depth micrometer. The points at which
you should measure the depths are shown in fig. 12 and 13.
Then the rotors are turned 180° and measured again. So that
twelve measurements are made in total.
2. Measure the rear clearance by means of feeler gauges. See fig.
14. Never go below the min. clearance stated in section 6.8. The
rear clearance should be measured at the same points as stated
in section 4.9 item 1.
3. Measure the radial clearance between rotor (35) and rotor casing
(9) by means of feeler gauges. The clearance should be
measured at the same rotor positions as stated in section 4.9
item 1.
4. If the clearances are not within the limits stated in section 6.8 or
if the distances measured able to be made closer to the mean
values stated in section 6.8, the rotors (35) are removed as
stated in section 4.2.
5. Remove the O-rings (36) situated on the shafts (38,39).
6. Remove the shims (37) of the shaft (38,39), measure the total
thickness of the shims with a micrometer, and add or subtract the
required amount of clearance to the shim thickness (e.g. if front
clearance is 0.1 mm too large, 0.1 mm must be added to the
total thickness of shims).
7. Refit shims (37) to the shafts (38,39). The thinner shims must be
inserted first.
8. Refit O-rings (36) on the shafts.
9. Refit rotors (35) as described in section 4.2.1.
10. Measure front and rear clearance again. If the clearances are
still outside the limits, or if they can come closer to the mean
values stated in section 6.8, repeat shimming procedure until the
measured clearances are correct.
11. When the front and rear clearances are correct, check that the
rotors (35) turn freely.

4.9.1 Adjustment of the rotors angular position
To run the pump effectively and safely, it may be necessary to carry
out the adjustment of the rotors angular position after dismantling and
re-assembling it, to ensure the correct angular position of the two
rotors. Use the sectional drawing for reference (page 2).
NOTE:
Re-timing applies to lobe rotors only.
Re-timing is carried out as described below:
1. Measure the interlobe clearances with feeler gauges at the 6
positions as shown in fig. 15. If these clearances are outside the
tolerances stated in section 6.8. (column “Interlobe”), it is
necessary to re-time the rotors.
2. Remove can (26) as described in section 4.4.
3. Choose one of the shafts to work on. Straighten the locking tab
on the washer (55) and loosen the gear nut (56). (use e.g. a
wedge shaped object of soft material e.g. wood, plastic or nylon
wedged between the two wheels.) Ease the gear (54) max. 1
mm back along the shaft (it is important not to move the gear
more than the 1 mm as it can cause damage to the rotors
themselves).
4. Re-check the clearances and see if the rotors have shifted in the
correct direction according to section 6.8. If the rotors have
shifted in the correct direction as wanted go to section 4.9.1 item
6.
5. If the rotors have not shifted in the correct direction, retighten
the gear nut (56) to the specified torque as described in section
6.1 and bend the tab washer down again (55).
Return to section 4.9.1 item 3, but work on the other shaft.
6. Ease the second gear back along the shaft until the clearance
between the rotors are as described in section 6.8.
7. The new distance between the spacer (52) and the moved gear
(54) is measured with feeler gauges. Shims (53) with the total
thickness corresponding to the distance measured are selected.
8. Remove the gear (54) and gear key (40) as described in section
4.6 from the shaft and fit the selected shims (53) on the shaft.
9. Re-fit gear key (40) and gear (54) as described in section 4.6.1.
Re-fit tab washer (55) and gear nut (56) and tighten it to the
specified torque as described in section 6.1.
10. Measure the interlobe clearances. If they are still not within the
tolerances stated in section 6.8 repeat the procedure starting
from section 4.9.1 item 3.
11. Check that the rotors turn freely.
12. Refit the can (26) as described in section 4.4.1
