CAUTION: Begin all pump maintenance operations by disconnecting the
energy source to the pump. Observe all lock out/tag out proce-
dures as outlined by ANSI Z244.1-1982 and OSHA 1910.147
to prevent accidental start-up and injury.
DESCRIPTION
This manual contains installation, operation, assembly, disassembly and repair instructions for the
Fristam FS style pump.
The FS style pump is flange mounted on a heavy duty cast flange support. This flange support provides
an extremely sturdy method of coupling the pump head and the motor. It absorbs vibrations and noise.
The flange support also fastens the pump to the floor (or adjustable base).
The motors used on FS style pumps are standard NEMA totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motors.
They are C-face and have a locked front bearing. These motors do not require feet. Replacement motors
are readily available from local motor distributors.
Motor size determines the type of shaft collar used.

Recommended PReventive maintenance
Recommended Seal maintenance
Visually inspect mechanical seal daily for leakage.
Replace mechanical seal annually under normal duty.
Replace mechanical seal as often as required under heavy duty.
elaStomeR inSPection
Inspect all elastomers when performing pump maintenance. We recommend replacing elastomers (o-
rings and gaskets) during seal, pump shaft and/or motor replacement. If the impeller nut gasket fails,
the threaded hole on the impeller nut and the threads on the end of the shaft will need to be cleaned. A
wire brush is recommended for cleaning these threads.
PumP Shaft inSPection
Inspect annually.

PUMP HEAD DISASSEMBLY
Note: the reference numbers listed in the text (#) refer to the assembly drawing on pages 16-17.
Disconnect the suction and discharge piping from the pump. Drain all fluid from
the pump prior to disassembly.
a) Loosen the cover nuts (24) with the soft-faced hammer and remove.
b) Remove the pump cover (23) and the cover gasket (19).
c) Loosen the acorn nuts (41) on the front of the cover and remove.
d) Remove the stator (39) and two o-rings (44 & 45). Discard the
o-rings.
e) Remove the seal water pipes (on pumps with a double mechanical
seal only) by turning them counter-clockwise with the pliers.
f) Loosen and remove the guard screw (34). Next remove the shaft
guard (35).
g) Place the 3/8” diameter rod in the pump shaft hole. Allow the rod
to rest against the pump flange support (2) to prevent the shaft
from rotating while loosening the rotor nut (22) with the 15/16”
socket wrench (Figure 7). Remove the rotor nut and the rotor nut gasket (21).
h) Remove the rotor (38) from the pump shaft (6) by grasping a rotor
blade in each hand and pulling the rotor toward you.
i) Compress the seal spring (18) by pushing on the front seal driver
(32) and lift out the rotor key (8) (Figure 8). (You may find it easier
to rotate the keyway to bottom of the shaft, compress the seal
spring, and let the key drop out.)
j) Next remove the front seal driver (32) and seal spring (18) by pull-
ing them off the pump shaft and discard them.
k) Remove the rotating seal (29), seal washer (27) and o-ring (11) by
gently placing the flat ends of two rotor pullers on either side of
the rotating seal and carefully pull (wiggling the seal ring side-
to-side should aid removal) until the rotating seal face comes off

the shaft (Figure 9). Discard the seal components after you
remove them.
l) Loosen the housing clamping bolt (4) with the two 3/4”
wrenches until it is loose in the flange support (2). (Note: the
clamping bolt does not have to be removed.) Now slide the
housing off the end of the pump shaft (6). If the housing does
not come out of the flange support easily, widen the flange
support by driving a screwdriver into the slot on top (Figure
10).
m) Place the housing (17) face down on the housing studs (30).
n) Loosen the retaining ring bolts (12) with the 7/16” or 9/16”
wrench (depending on seal size) and remove them from the
hub of the stator.
o) Remove the retaining ring (13).
p) Place a finger through the stationary seal (15), pull it out of
the seal cavity and discard. If the stationary seal
has been in the pump for an extended period,
it may be necessary to softly tap it out from the
opposite end using a rubber mallet.
If you have a Silicon Carbide Stationary Seal
design - two pieces will be removed (15a and
15b)
q) Check for the flat gasket (16) in the bottom of
the seal cavity. Remove this gasket, discard and
clean the seal cavity if necessary.
ADDITIONAL DISASSEMBLY FOR DOUBLE MECHANICAL SEALS
ONLY
To remove the rear seal components (only pumps with double seal), carefully slide the rear rotating
seal (28), seal washer (27), the seal o-ring (11) off the pump shaft and discard. Use the 3/32” Allen
wrench to remove the rear seal driver and spring (10) off the pump shaft and discard.
PUMP HEAD ASSEMBLY - (SEE SEAL ASSEMBLY DRAWINGS - FIGURE 17 - 20 - PAGES 10-13)
NOTE: when installing the new seal components
make sure that you use all of the components
supplied with the replacement seal kit. Using
some of the old components may reduce seal
life.
For double mechanical seals only, first install
the rear seal components. Note: this includes
the seal washer (27), the seal o-ring (11), the
rear rotating seal (28) and the rear seal driver
and spring (10).
You are now ready to install the stationary seal
into the pump.
a) To install the stationary seal (15) into the hub
of the housing (17), place the housing on a
clean surface with the hub side up. Inspect
the hub area to ensure that it is clean.

b) Place the flat gasket (16) into the hub of the
housingr. Make sure that it is all the way to the
bottom and is seated evenly.
c) Install the stationary seal into the housing hub
with the smaller face entering the hub first.
For the Silicon Carbide Stationary Seal design
(Figures 18 and 20) - install the front half of
the stationary seal (15a) into the housing hub
with the smaller face side first. Then install
the rear half of the stationary seal (15b).
d) Install the stationary seal o-ring (14) (do not
lubricate this o-ring) onto the back of the
stationary seal (15). Improper fit may cause leakage or seal damage.
e) Place the retaining ring (13) on the housing hub, aligning the holes in the retaining ring with the
holes in the hub. Thread the retaining ring bolts (12) through the holes in the stationary seal retain-
ing ring and into the housing hub. Alternately tighten the bolts so the retaining ring secures evenly.
Uneven tightening could result in seal damage. Check for proper torque on page 5.
f) Carefully slide the pump housing over the pump shaft (6) and back against the flange support (2).
The stationary seal may be damaged if it makes hard contact with the pump shaft. If the housing
does not slide into the flange support easily, widen the flange support by driving a screwdriver into
the slot on top (Figure 12). Slide the housing all the way into the flange support until the shoul-
der of the housing is against the flange support. Remove the screwdriver. If the pump has a double
mechanical seal, make sure that the water pipe holes in the housing are aligned with the holes in the
flange support.
g) While holding the housing against the flange support, tighten the clamping bolt (4) in the flange
support.
h) Install the seal water pipes (for double mechanical seals only), by threading them into the housing
and tighten with the pliers.
i) You are now ready to install the rotating seal assembly. First lubricate the seal o-ring (11) with a
food grade lubricant (unless the o-ring material is EPDM, then only water should be used for lubri-
cation). Place the seal o-ring inside the rotating seal (29).
j) Now place the seal washer (27) into the rotating seal.
k) Next install the one end of the seal spring (18) into the rotating seal making sure that the tab of the
spring is in the slot on the rotating seal.
l) Finally, install the tab on the other end of the seal spring into the hole on the front seal driver (32)
(Figure 13). The rotating seal assembly is now ready to be installed onto the pump shaft.
m) Rotate the pump shaft (6) so the keyway is on top. Now slide the rotating seal assembly which in-
cludes: the rotating seal (29), the seal o-ring (11), the seal washer (27), the seal spring (18) and the
seal driver (32) onto the pump shaft.
n) Lubricate the outside o-ring (33) with a food grade lubricant, if it is not EPDM, and install it in the
groove on the front of the seal spring and driver assembly.

o) Compress the spring assembly with two fingers and install the
shaft key (8) into the keyway on the pump shaft (Figure 14).
p) Slide the rotor (38) onto the pump shaft (6). The slot in the rotor
hub will slide over the rotor key (8).
q) Generously lubricate the new rotor nut gasket (21) with a food
grade lubricant (if it is not EPDM) and place it onto the rotor nut
(22).
r) Thread the rotor nut with the gasket in place onto the pump shaft
(6).
s) Place the 5/16” diameter rod in the pump shaft hole. Allow the
rod to rest against the pump flange support to keep the shaft from
rotating while tightening the rotor nut with the 15/16” socket
wrench (Figure 15). Tighten to the proper torque listed on page 5.
t) Generously lubricate the two stator o-rings (44 & 45) and place onto the stator (39).
u) Reinstall the stator (39) onto the pump cover (23). Tighten the acorn nuts (41) onto the studs (40)
to the proper torque listed on page 5.
v) Now install the new cover gasket (19) onto the pump
cover (23). When placing the cover gasket into the
pump cover, gently stretch the gasket into position. Do
not roll the gasket into position. With the cover gasket
in position, place the pump cover onto the front of the
pump. (Note: the pump serial number is embossed into
the ‘top’ of the pump cover.)
w) Thread the cover nuts (24) onto the housing studs
(30). Make sure the cover o-ring is properly seated in
the cover to ensure that it will not get pinched when
tightening the cover nuts. Tighten the cover nuts by
tapping on them with the soft-faced hammer.
x) Now rotate the pump shaft (6) to make sure that the
rotor (38) moves freely. If it does not, recheck your
assembly to make sure that gaskets are not pinched and everything is seated properly. Listen to the
pump as you turn the shaft. A small amount of noise from the seals is normal, but if there is metal-
to-metal contact, the sound will be noticeable. If there is metal-to-metal contact, check the rotor
gap. Regap the rotor if necessary. See page 20 for directions. Replace the shaft guard and secure with
the guard screws.
Reconnect the suction and discharge piping.
WARNING: Mechanical seals must never run dry, even momentarily. Seal damage will result.
