F-2) Impeller and Volute Service:
F-2.1) Disassembly and Inspection:
To clean out volute (26) or replace impeller (28), or replace
wear ring (31), disconnect power, remove hex nuts (20) and
vertically lift motor and seal assembly from body (26). Clean
out body if necessary. Clean and examine impeller (28), for
pitting or wear and replace if required, inspect gasket (41) and
replace if cut or damaged. If the impeller (28) requires replac-
ing, remove cap screw (34) and washer (35). The impeller is
keyed onto the shaft with a square key (33) and to remove, pull
impeller straight off the shaft using a wheel puller, if required. If
the wear ring (31) require replacing, split the wear ring (31) and
remove, be careful not to damage the volute. Before reinstall-
ing, check the motor shaft and impeller bore for damage.
F-2.2) Reassembly:
To install wear ring (31) first apply retaining compound to the
bore of body (26) and then press wear ring (31) into bore of
body (26) until seated. To install impeller (28), apply a thin
film of oil to motor shaft and slide impeller straight onto shaft,
keeping keyways lined up. Drive key (33) into keyway. Locate
washer (35), apply thread lock primer (such as Loctite®
Primer T) let set per manufactures’ directions. Apply thread
locking compound to cap screw (34) threads, thread cap
screw (34) into shaft and torque to 35 ft. lb. Rotate impeller to
check for binding. Position gasket (41) on volute flange and
install impeller and motor housing over studs and onto volute
(26). Apply thread locking compound to threads of each stud
(24). Thread nut (20) onto stud (24) and torque to 24 ft. lb.
Check for free rotation of motor and impeller.
F-3) Motor and Bearing Service
F-3.1) Disassembly and Inspection:
To examine or replace the motor (1) and bearings (3) and
(47), disassemble pump, volute and impeller (as outlined in
paragraph F-2.1) and disassemble seal plate and shaft seal
(as outlined in paragraph F-4.1). Drain oil from motor as out-
lined in paragraph F-1.3.
Position unit upright, using blocks to avoid resting unit on shaft.
After removal of cable and box assembly (10) from motor
housing (2), remove cable lead wires from motor lead wires
and moisture and temperature sensors wires (if equipped)
from control cable by unscrewing connectors (12) and (17).
The wiring connections should be noted to insure correct con-
nections when reassembling. Remove cap screws (19) and
hex nuts (20). Vertically lift the outside motor housing (2) from
bearing bracket (21) with lifting strap (7). Inspect square ring
(42) for damage or cuts. Remove the upper motor bolts and lift
upper end bell from motor (1). Examine upper bearing (3) and
replace if required. If replacement is required, remove bearing
(3) from motor shaft using a wheel puller.
Vertically lift stator. Inspect winding for shorts and resistance.
To test the temperature sensor (if equipped), check for continu-
ity between the black and white wires. If found to be defective
contact a motor service station or Crane Pumps & Systems
service department. Pull motor rotor and lower bearing (47)
vertically from bearing bracket (21). Examine bearing (47) and
replace if required. If replacement is required, remove bear-
ing (47) from motor shaft using a wheel puller. Check rotor for
wear. If rotor or the stator windings are defective, the complete
motor must be replaced. While disassembled, check moisture
sensor wires (16), (if equipped) that they are secured to elec-
trodes (18) with lockwashers (15) and screws (14).
Important !
All parts must be clean before reassembly.
F-3.2) Reassembly:
Bearings - When replacing bearings, be careful not to
damage the rotor or shaft threads. (If so equipped, fill notch
should face the rotor core for both upper and lower bearings).
Clean the shaft thoroughly. Apply adhesive compound to
the shaft and press bearing (47) on the motor shaft, position
squarely onto the shaft applying force to the inner race of the
bearing only, until bearing seats against shoulder of the shaft.
Reassemble top bearing (3) in the same manner.
Motor - Slide lower bearing (47) and motor rotor squarely into
the bearing bracket (21) until bearing seats on the bottom.
Position motor housing and stator into pilot, aligning studs
(37) with holes in bearing bracket (21). Apply thread locking
compound on studs (37) and position washers (36) and nuts
(38) on studs (37) and torque to 18 ft. lbs. Position upper mo-
tor end bell aligning holes and thread cap screws into motor.
Torque to 16 ft. lbs. Place all motor leads above the motor.
Position square ring (42) over bearing bracket (21) and lower
housing (2) over motor and into pilot. Apply thread locking
compound to cap screws (19) threads and install with nut (20).
Torque to 24 ft. lb.
F-4) Shaft Seal and Diaphragm Service:
Important! - Handle seal parts with extreme care.
do not scratch or mar lapped surfaces.
F-4.1) Disassembly and Inspection:
Diaphragm - To examine or replace the diaphragm (32) or
shaft seal (46), remove impeller (28) as outlined in paragraph
F-2.1. Drain oil from seal chamber as outlined in paragraph
F-1.3. Remove cap screws (8), washers (9) and lifting strap
(7). Set unit upside down on blocks to avoid damaging cords.
Remove socket head cap screws (39) and lift seal plate (25)
vertically, being cautious to avoid seal damage, together with
diaphragm (32), clamp (43) and outboard stationary member
(46A) of shaft seal (46), from bearing bracket (21). Examine
diaphragm (32), if it is ruptured, cracked or damaged, replace
by removing screws (44) and diaphragm clamp (43), Also,
clean out vent holes in seal plate (25). Check moisture sensor
probes (18) for damage. Replace by disconnecting wires (16)
by removing screws (14) and lockwashers (15). Then remove
probe (18) from bearing bracket (21).
Seal - To expose shaft seal (46) for examination, complete
above procedure and slide off outboard rotating member (46B),
See Figure 2. Remove inboard rotating member (46D), from
shaft. Examine all seal parts and especially contact faces.
Inspect seal for signs of wear such as uneven wear pattern on
stationary members, chips and scratches on either seal face.
DO NOT interchange seal components, replace the entire
shaft seal (46).
F-4.2) Reassembly:
Diaphragm - At reassembly, make sure the bulge and molded-
in part number of diaphragm (32) is facing the seal plate (25).
With diaphragm (32) in place, lay diaphragm clamp (43) in
place on seal plate (25) and insert the four cap screws (44)
and tighten. Apply pipe thread compound to moisture sensor
probe (18), and insert in bearing bracket (21). Attach wires
(16) with lockwashers (15) and screws (14).
