A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The instructions found herein cover the disassembly, assembly and parts identification of _G12D_-137
and 350 pumps.
NOTE: Individual contracts may have specific provisions that vary from this manual. Should any
questions arise which may not be answered by these instructions, refer to the General
Instructions Manual, SRM00046, provided with your order. For further detailed information
and technical assistance please refer to Imo Pump, Technical/Customer Service
Department, at [phone].
This manual cannot possibly cover every situation connected with the installation, operation, inspection, and
maintenance of equipment supplied. Every effort was made to prepare text of manual so that engineering
and design data is transformed into the most easily understood wording. Imo Pump must assume personnel
assigned to operate and maintain supplied equipment and apply this instruction manual have sufficient
technical knowledge and are experienced to apply sound safety and operational practices which may not be
otherwise covered by this manual.
In applications where equipment furnished by Imo Pump is to become part of processing machinery, these
instructions should be thoroughly reviewed to ensure proper fit of said equipment into overall plant
operational procedures.
WARNING
If installation, operation, and maintenance instructions are not correctly and strictly
followed and observed, injury to personnel or serious damage to pump could
result. Imo Pump cannot accept responsibility for unsatisfactory performance or
damage resulting from failure to comply with instructions.
B. INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual covers series _G12D_-137 and 350 Imo pumps. This series of pumps has been
designed for use in hydraulic, lubricating, seal, distillate, residual, fuel and crude oil applications. The
model and design construction of each pump can be identified by the designator code on the pump
nameplate. Definitions of model designators are identified in figure 1.
C. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
_G12D_-137 and 350 series pumps are positive displacement, rotary screw pumps consisting of
precision bored housings which enclose a driven screw (power rotor) and intermeshing following screws
(idler rotors). These screws when rotating form a succession of closures or cavities. As they rotate, fluid
is moved axially from inlet port to outlet port in a continuous, uniform flow with minimum fluid pulsation
and pump noise.
D. PUMP MODEL IDENTIFICATION
This instruction manual covers Imo Series _G12D_-137 and 350 pumps. The model of each pump is
identified on pump nameplate. Refer to figure 1 and table 1 for instructional keys when using this
manual.

H4. Pump Reassembly Procedure:
Note: Prior to reassembly, all parts should be cleaned and inspected for nicks and burrs. Replace
all worn and damaged parts. Imo pump recommends replacement of ball bearing (49), mechanical
seal (25), gaskets (9, 83, 6), fastener seal (7) and O-rings (28) when these parts are disturbed
from their original installed position. All parts should be coated with light lubricating oil to assist in
assembly.
1. Install O-ring (28) in groove in housing (24). Install O-rings (27) in grooves in all but one tube
(26 and 100). Install a tube (26) with O-rings (27) in housing (24) on opposite side of housing
O-ring (28).
2. Install housing (24), O-ring end first, in pump case (1) from suction end until stop pin (6) slot is
properly aligned. Install stop pin (6) with fastener seal (7) in case (1).
3. Inlet 1st inlet housing (73) in pump case (1) with end that has two drilled and tapped holes
facing inlet end of pump. Be sure that tube (26) in housing (24) mates to hole in housing (73).
4. Install tube (26) with O-rings (27) in back side of first inlet housing (73) and then install second
inlet housing (73) being sure that tube (26) in first housing (27) mates to hole in second
housing (73).
5. Repeat step 4 with last inlet housing (73)
6. Install snap rings (8) in case (1).
7. If pump is 350 size, proceed below. If not skip to step 12.
8. Install tube (26) without O-rings (27) in discharge housing (24) side facing outlet side of pump
and install O-ring (28) on balance piston housing (22).
9. Install balance piston housing (22) in pump case being sure that idler stops on balance piston
housing (22) are lined up with idler bores and pin hole in balance piston housing (22) lines up
with pin (26) on discharge housing (24)
10. Install gasket (9) on inboard cover.
11. Install inboard cover (46) in case (1) using bolts (4). Ensure seal vent (70) is facing up. Torque
bolts (4) to value on appropriate assembly drawing. Skip to step 16
12. If pump is 137 size, C-face type, install balance piston bushing (86) in inboard cover (46) with
shoulder bolts (94), O-ring (28) in inboard cover (46) and inboard cover (46) in case (1) with
bolts (90). Torque bolts to value on assembly drawing. Ship to step 16.
13. If pump is 137 size, foot mount type, proceed below.

10
14. Install O-ring (28) on balance piston housing (22). Install balance piston housing (22) onto
inboard cover (46) being sure that roll pin in balance piston housing (22) mates to slit in
inboard cover (46).
15. Install inboard cover (46) / balance piston housing (22) assembly in case with bolts (90) being
sure that seal drain (70) in inboard cover (46) is positioned at 12 o-clock. Torque bolts (4) to
value on appropriate assembly drawing
16. Assemble power rotor (63) and mechanical seal (25) as follows (See Figure 1 for seal
drawings):
a. If size 350, assemble seal spacer (38) onto shaft (63).
b. If seal is a single spring rubber bellows type, apply light coat of system fluid to inside
diameter of bellows and slide mechanical seal rotating assembly on power rotor (63) until it
seats against the shoulder of seal spacer (38). Wipe seal face with isopropyl alcohol and a
lint free rag.
c. If seal is a multi-spring seal, coat O-ring inside of rotating seat with system fluid and slide
mechanical seal rotating assembly on power rotor (63) until it seats against the shoulder of
seal spacer (38). Tighten rotating seat set screw. Wipe seal face with isopropyl alcohol
and a lint free rag.
d. Install O-ring in groove of mechanical seal stationary seat. Install seat including O-ring in
seal seat adapter (48) ensuring that slot in back of stationary seat mates to spring pin in
seal seat adapter (48). Clean seal face with isopropyl alcohol and a lint free rag. Put a
small amount of clean system fluid or light oil on seal running face. Install the stationary
seat running face against the rotating seat face.
e. Install inner snap ring (42) in groove of power rotor (63).
f. Press bearing (49) on power rotor (63), pressing only on inner race of ball bearing (49)
using an installation sleeve until it is located next to inner snap ring (42).
CAUTION ATTENTION
Bearing service life could be significantly reduced if bearing is pushed on by its outer race.
g. Install outer snap ring (42) in groove of power rotor (63).
17. Install gasket (83) in seal bore of inboard cover (46).
18. Install assembled power rotor (63) in pump, centering all parts as they enter inboard cover
(46). Align one of openings in spacer (48) over drain in inboard cover (46).
19. Install bearing retainer (43) on inboard cover (46) using bolts (47). Torque bolts (47) to value
on appropriate assembly drawing.
20. Install idlers (35 and then 21) into housings (24, 73) by meshing threads with power rotor
thread
21. Install cups (23) on idlers (21).
22. Install bolts (102) in thrust plate (29) and spacers (101) on bolts (102).
