4. Inspect impeller (Ref.
No. 26). If clog is found,
remove debris and
reassemble in reverse
order. If damage to
impeller is found, such as
pitting, deep grooves, or
breakage, proceed to
next section.
IMPELLER REPLACEMENT
5. Remove impeller fastener
(Ref. No. 28) by unscrew-
ing in counterclockwise
direction.
NOTE: To prevent motor
shaft from turning, wedge a
screwdriver between impeller
vane and impeller fastener
(see Figure 2).
6. Slide off impeller washer
(Ref. No. 27). Impeller is
keyed to motor shaft and
can now be pulled free.
7. Install replacement
impeller and reassemble
in reverse order.
MECHANICAL SEAL
REPLACEMENT
Motor internals are protect-
ed from contact with liquid
being pumped by a mechani-
cal shaft seal and oil cavity.
When seal wears out, poten-
tial motor life will be com-
promised. Therefore, periodic
seal replacement is recom-
mended. Time interval
between replacements will
depend on abrasiveness of
liquid being pumped, tem-
perature, total accumulated
runtime, etc.
IMPORTANT: Always replace
seal head (Ref. No. 18) and
both seal seats (Ref. Nos. 17
&19) at same time to insure
proper mating of compo-
nents.
Refer to Figure 3.
1. Disassemble pump by fol-
lowing directions in both
“Power Cord
Replacement” and
“Impeller Inspection /
Replacement” sections.
2. With unit on its side and
wire cover, pump assem-
bly, and impeller
removed, lift shaft key
(Ref. No. 13) from
shaft/rotor (Ref. No. 12)
using a pliers.
3. Clean rust and buildup
from unit.
4. From top of unit, remove
four long fasteners (Ref.
No. 10) which attach
lower end bell (Ref.
No. 16) to motor case
(Ref. No. 11).
5. Rap on ears of lower end
bell with a soft mallet to
break it free from motor
case. Then carefully guide
lower end bell along with
shaft/rotor and bearing
assembly out of motor
case.
6. Drain oil from seal cavity
by removing drain screw
(Ref. No. 23) and seal
(Ref. no. 22) from seal
plate (Ref. No. 21). Then
tip components upright
overtop of a catch pan
until oil is drained.
7. Remove three fasteners
(Ref. No. 25) and pry out
seal plate with screwdriv-
er. Slinger washer (Ref.
No. 24) will come free at
this time.
8. Use a press or gear puller
to remove shaft and
bearings from lower end
bell. Shaft seal head will
now be free.
IMPORTANT: Shaft seal head
(with spring) has unique
ends, and two seal seats are
different from one another
also. Be sure to note size and
color of each before disas-
sembly so that new parts are
installed in proper orienta-
tion.
9. Remove upper seal seat
(Ref. No. 17) from lower
end bell by using a screw-
driver or dowel to press
on seal from rear. Do the
same for lower seal seat

(Ref. No. 19) in seal plate.
10. Clean seal seat cavities
before inserting new
seals.
11. Carefully wipe polished
surface of new seal seats
with a clean cloth.
12. Wet outside of rubber
portion of seal seats with
alight coating of soapy
water.
13. Press each new seal seat
squarely into cavity in
both seal plate and lower
end bell. If seal seat does
not press squarely into
cavity, it can be adjusted
into place by pushing on
it carefully with a piece
of pipe or dowel. Always
use a piece of cardboard
between pipe and seal
seat to avoid scratching
seal seat. (This is a lapped
surface and must be han-
dled very carefully.)
