Safety
General Precautions
The following are general safety precautions not related to any specific procedure. Per-
sonnel must understand and apply these precautions during both operation and main-
tenance of the pump.
Do Not Operate Pump Without Ear Protection. The pump has heat-treated steel
timing gears, which can be very noisy when operated above 900 rpm.
Be Aware of High Heat When Unit Is Running. Both operating and maintenance
personnel must observe all safety precautions at all times. To avoid injury, always de-
energize the input power sources and lock-out or red-tag the controller. Let the pump
cool before handling.
Be Aware of Chemical Hazards. Maintenance personnel must observe all safety pre-
cautions while working with the chemicals used in cleaning agents.
Warnings and Cautions
The following warnings and cautions relate to specific procedures in this manual. They
are repeated here for emphasis.
Warnings
Do not perform maintenance using this manual if the model number on the
pump is not 150-348 or the serial number is not ________________. Performing
maintenance using the wrong manual could result in pump failure or personal
injury.
To avoid injury, always de-energize the input driver and lock-out or red-tag the
controller. Let the pump cool before removing.
Overpressurization of the pump can cause equipment failure, resulting in per-
sonal injury.

iv
Edwards Model 150-348 Pump
Cautions
Do not order parts using this manual if the model number on the pump is not
150-348 or the serial number is not ________________. Using parts ordered
from the wrong manual could result in pump failure or personal injury.
Do not hammer on pump endcase. This will cause gasket sealing surface dam-
age, resulting in leaks.
Use shaft protector between puller tip and shaft face to prevent distortion of
shaft center.
Never hammer directly on pump drive shaft. This will cause the rotor assem-
bly to become misaligned, resulting in incorrect internal clearances. Also,
hammering on the shaft ends may damage the shaft centers.
Never dip or soak packings, rubber, plastic, or teflon parts in “dry” cleaning
solvent. Wipe with clean, lint-free cloth. Solvent can react with material and
result in severe damage or destruction of parts.
Do not use excessive force when installing seals. This could damage the seals,
causing them to leak. Use approved tools available from Edwards.
Do not rotate rotor assemblies until bearings have been installed and adjusted.
Damage to rotors and liners may occur.
Make sure liners fit into counterbore on endcase, and that they can be fully
seated into the endcase counterbore without using excessive force. Damage to
endcases and liners could occur.
Support ends of shafts axially with a jaw puller on the endcase when install-
ing ball bearings to avoid damaging liners and rotors. The jaw puller should
be used on the shaft end opposite the end where the bearing is being installed.
Use a shaft protector to avoid damaging shaft center.
Do not overtighten bearing adjusting nut setscrews. Excessive bearing preload
may result, causing bearing damage.
Rotary pumps have close running clearances. Thus, clean piping is a must.
Dirt, grit, weld bead or scale, flushed from an unclean piping system, will
damage and may stall the pump. Flush the system thoroughly before connect-
ing piping to pump.

Disassembly
General Practice
1. Keep work area as clean as possible to avoid contamination of internal parts.
2. Replace gaskets, packings, and seals removed during repair. Replace all keys, spring
washers, and like items during assembly.
3. When removing gaskets, packings, or seals, do not use a metal tool to pry, pick, or
scrape. Doing this could scratch sealing surfaces. Use wood or plastic scrapers to
remove gasket material.
4. Before disassembly of any component, study exploded view illustration (Figure 4-1).
Pay particular attention to relationship of internal parts. Being familiar with con-
struction will speed up disassembly and help avoid improper assembly.
5. To prevent moisture or foreign material from entering open components, install
protective plugs or covers as soon as practical after disassembly. Wrap parts in clean
paper or clean lint-free cloths (1, Table 2-1).
6. Remove only the parts requiring repair or replacement. Do not disassemble pump
any further than necessary to complete needed repairs.
Disassembly Procedure
1. Remove cap screws (3, Figure 4-1), timing gear cover (2), and cover gasket (4).
Discard gasket.
2. Loosen timing gear locknuts (8) and unscrew until locknuts reach end of shaft.
This will protect the threads when the timing gears are pulled.
3. Fabricate timing gear puller as shown in Figure 2-2.
4. Install timing gear puller with cap screws on
timing gear (10, Figure 4-1). Tighten screws to take up slack and tap puller with a
hammer in line with shaft to free timing gear. Repeat procedure for other timing
g e a r.
5. Remove locknuts (8) and timing gears (10).
6. Remove cap screws (6), front cover (5), and cover gasket (4). Discard gasket.
7. Remove front cover seal (7) from front cover (5). Discard seal.
8. Remove setscrews (11) from endcases (15).
9. Remove bearing adjusting nuts (12) from endcases (15).
10. Removecap screws (16), nuts (18), and washers (17) from drive endcase (15).
11. Using gear puller, remove drive endcase (15) and pump body gasket (20). Discard
gasket.
12. Remove cap screws (16), nuts (18), and washers (17) from timing gear end-
case (15).
Do not hammer on pump endcase. This will cause gasket sealing surface dam-
age, resulting in leaks.
Use shaft protector between puller tip and shaft face to prevent distortion of
shaft center.
The pump can be
reassembled into
several configura-
tions as shown in
Figure 2-1. Before
disassembling the
pump, circle the
configuration that
matches the pump
being repaired.
This will be an
invaluable aid dur-
ing reassembly.
When removing the
endcases, use two
pullers, or alternate
one puller between
shafts.
The endcase may be
pulled off each
shaft about 1/8 in.
at a time. Alternate
the puller between
shafts to avoid mis-
alignment during
removal.

13. Remove timing gear endcase (15) and pump body gasket (20). Discard gasket.
14. Using hammer and hardwood block, tap pump drive shaft to remove drive and idler
rotor assemblies (22 and 23) and two liners (21).
15. Using hammer and hardwood block, remove other liners (21) from pump body
(25).
16. If damaged, remove studs (24) from pump body (25).
17. Using hammer and brass drift, remove ball bearings (13) and grease seals
(14) from endcases (15).
18. Using hammer and brass drift, remove lip seals (19) from endcases (15).
19. If damaged or plugged, remove grease fittings (1) from endcases (15).
20. If damaged or plugged, remove grease fittings (1) from timing gear cover (2).
Cleaning
1. Use “dry” cleaning solvent (2, Table 2-1) to clean parts. Do not use gasoline for
cleaning parts.
2. After soaking parts in “dry” cleaning solvent, deposits may be washed away by
flushing or spraying. Where necessary, use soft-bristled, non-metallic brush moist-
ened in solvent.
3. Except for bearings, dry parts using filtered, compressed air after cleaning.
4. Unless otherwise noted, do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, abrasive wheels,
or compounds when cleaning parts.
Figure 2-2. Timing-Gear Puller Fabrication Diagram
Never hammer directly on pump drive shaft. This will cause the rotor assem-
bly to become misaligned, resulting in incorrect internal clearances. Also,
hammering on the shaft ends may damage the shaft centers.
Never dip or soak packings, rubber, plastic, or teflon parts in “dry” cleaning
solvent. Wipe with clean, lint-free cloth. Solvent can react with material and
result in severe damage or destruction of parts.

Maintenance
5. Place ball or roller bearings in basket and suspend in container of “dry” cleaning
solvent overnight. If necessary, use soft-bristled brush to remove caked grease and
chips. Avoid rotating bearing before solid particles are removed to prevent damag-
ing balls and races. After cleaning, dry bearings with low-pressure compressed air.
6. Check all passages and cavities for cleanliness and freedom from foreign material.
Use wire brush or pressurized spray gun and “dry” cleaning solvent to clean indi-
vidual passages.
7. Buff bearing adjusting nut threads (12, Figure 4-1) with a wire brush.
Inspection
1. Check that rotor assemblies and liners are free of radial scoring and heat damage
(usually indicated by blue discoloration).
2. Check all surfaces in contact with gaskets, packings, or seals for nicks, burrs, or
scratches that may damage new parts during assembly.
3. Visually check castings or weldments for cracks.
4. Check bearings for rusted or pitted balls, races, or cage. Check balls and races for
brinelling, abrasions, and discoloration. Excluding defects that may cause bearing
binding or misalignment, nicks or gouges outside race load areas are not cause for
rejection. Bearings shall be rejected for cuts or grooves parallel to ball or roller rota-
tion, or for fatigue pits (not minor machine marks or scratches).
5. Check all screws, nuts, fittings, and tapped holes for distortion and for stripped or
corroded threads.
Repair and Replacement
1. Using fine file or 220 grit emery cloth (3, Table 2-1), remove nicks, burrs, or
scratches from surfaces in contact with gaskets, packings, or seals.
2. Using 220 grit emery cloth, remove any buildup on endcase (15, Figure 4-1) coun-
terbore surfaces and inside diameter of pump body (25).
3. Using 220 grit emery cloth or flat file, deburr all edges of pump parts, especially the
end covers (2 and 5) and endcases (15).
4. Repair of cracked castings and weldments is not authorized. Replace cracked or
damaged parts.
5. Replace all damaged screws, nuts, and fittings. Repair minor damage to tapped
holes with same size tap. Do not change size or thread type. Replace all self-locking
fasteners.
Always replace
bearings whenever
possible. If new
bearings are not
available you may
clean and inspect
the bearings. The
bearings may be
reused if they are
not damaged.
Take special care to
keep gasket sur-
faces flat and
smoothly finished
to prevent leakage.

Model 150 / 160 / 300 Pumps
Assembly
General Practice
1. Remove any protective coatings from new parts.
2. Lubricate bearings with same type of lubricant normally used in pump or as
directed in specific repair procedure.
3. Lubricate lip of oil seals with lubricant specified in specific procedure. Install oil
seals, with lip facing out, by applying an even force to outer edge of seal. We recom-
mend using arbor press to seat the seals.
4. Coat both sides of gaskets with high-tack spray (6, Table 2-1). Be sure all old gas-
kets and sealant are removed from parts before installing new ones.
5. Hand-thread cap screws into parts until snug, then tighten in criss-cross pattern to
final torque. Install all cap screws, nuts, and fasteners using anti-seize compound
(4, Table 2-1) unless otherwise indicated in specific procedure.
Assembly Procedure
Assemble Rotors and Liners
1. If removed, install studs (24, Figure 4-1) in pump body (25) using red Loctite
(5, Table 2-1). Remove all traces of red Loctite after installing studs.
2. Install liners (21) in pump body (25). Make sure liner suction holes face pump
body suction port as shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3. Liner Installation
Do not rotate rotor assemblies until bearings have been installed and adjusted.
Damage to rotors and liners may occur.
If rotors are worn,
replace both rotor
assemblies.
The suction port of
pump body is
stamped “Suction”
and the discharge
port is stamped
“Discharge.” There
are holes drilled in
the suction side of
the liners.

3. Install idler rotor assembly (23, Figure 4-1) in pump body (25) and into liner (21).
Make sure threaded end of rotor shaft is away from drive end of pump.
4. Install drive rotor assembly (22) in pump body (25) and into liner (21). Make sure
drive rotor shaft is in correct position (Figure 2-1) and threaded end of rotor shaft is
away from drive end of pump.
5. Install second set of liners (21, Figure 4-1) in pump body (25). Make sure suction
holes face pump body suction port.
Install Seals (if pump has lip seals)
1. Lightly coat bores and outside diameters of four lip seals (19, Figure 4-1) with red
Loctite (5, Table 2-1).
2. Install lip seals (19, Figure 4-1) in seal bores of endcases (15). Press seals
all the way to the bottom of the bore as shown in Figure 2-4. We recommend using
an arbor press to seat the seals. Installation tools are available from Edwards-Pentair Water.
3. Pre-lubricate grease seals (14) with approved grease (7, Table 2-1).
4. Install grease seals (14, Figure 4-1) in endcases (15) with sealing lip facing
toward counterbore of endcase.
Install Endcases
1. Install a new pump body gasket (20) to each side of the body.
2. Install large flat washer and nut (18) on one of the studs (24) on timing-gear end of
pump body (25). The outside diameter of the washer must overlap the liners (21) to
prevent the liners and rotors from being displaced during installation of the drive-
end endcase. Make sure liners are protruding at least 0.2 in. from the body before
running the nut and washer up against liners.
Do not use excessive force when installing seals. This could deform the seals,
causing them to leak. Use approved tools available from Edwards-Pentair Water .

3. Check that seals (19) have been installed in endcase (15) before proceeding with
endcase installation.
4. Starting with the drive end, carefully install endcase (15) over drive and idler rotor
assemblies (22 and 23). Use caution not to damage seals (19).
5. Install cap screws (16), washers (17), and nuts (18) and tighten finger-tight.
6. Remove large washer and nut (18) from timing-gear end of pump body (25).
7. Carefully install other endcase (15) over drive and idler rotor assemblies (22 and
23). Use caution not to damage seals (19).
8. Install cap screws (16), washers (17), and nuts (18) and tighten finger-tight.
Install Bearings
1. Pack ball bearings (13) with approved grease (7, Table 2-1).
2. Using a bearing seating sleeve, install ball bearings (13, Figure 4-1) on both
ends of drive and idler rotor assemblies (22 and 23). Make sure ball bearings are
seated on shoulders of shafts with loading grooves facing center of pump.
3. Using criss-cross pattern, tighten cap screws (16) to 35 lb-ft.
4. Using criss-cross pattern, tighten nuts (18) to 25 lb-ft.
Adjust Rotor Clearance
1. Install bearing adjusting nuts (12) on endcases (15), leaving about 1/2-turn
short of bearing contact.
2. On idler rotor assembly (23) tighten one bearing adjusting nut (12) until rotor con-
tacts liner (21). Install dial indicator on opposite end of shaft as shown in Figure 2-
5 and zero indicator.
3. Loosen previously tightened bearing adjusting nut (12). Tighten opposing bearing
adjusting nut until rotor just contacts the other liner and note reading. This is the
total clearance.
4. Loosen adjusting nut tightened in step 3 and tighten opposing adjusting nut until
dial indicator reading is half the total clearance reading obtained in step 3. (for
example, if the total clearance is 0.006 in., adjust for reading of 0.003 in.)
5. Slowly tighten adjusting nut opposing adjusting nut tightened during step 4 until
slight opposite dial indicator needle movement is observed. Do not overtighten.
Make sure liners fit into counterbore on endcase, and that they can be fully
seated into the endcase counterbore without using excessive force. Damage to
endcases and liners could occur.
Support ends of shafts axially with a jaw puller on the endcase when install-
ing ball bearings to avoid damaging liners and rotors. The jaw puller should
be used on the shaft end opposite the end where the bearing is being installed.
Use a shaft protector to avoid damaging shaft center.
Seals must be
installed in end-
cases before install-
ing endcases.
We highly recom-
mend you use seal
installation cones
(available from
Edwards ) on the rotor
shafts during
installation of the
endcases.
Bearing installa-
tion tools are avail-
able from E dwards.
The rotors must be
centered between
the liners.

.
6. Tighten the setscrews (11) enough to secure the bearing adjusting nuts (12) in end-
case (15).
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for drive rotor assembly (22) bearings.
Install Timing Gears
1. Using a lapping compound (8, Table 2-1), lap tapers of timing gears (10, Figure 4-1)
to drive and idler rotor shafts (22 and 23), then clean both surfaces with a clean rag
and dry-cleaning solvent (2, Table 2-1).
2. Install idler timing gear (10, Figure 4-1) on shaft by tapping gear with a hollow
sleeve.
3. Apply anti-seize compound (4, Table 2-10) to timing gear locknut (8, Figure 4-1)
threads and install locknut on idler shaft. Wedge a piece of nylon or rawhide
between rotors to prevent rotation, and tighten locknut to 175 lb-ft.
4. Insert piece of 0.006- to 0.010-in. shim stock between rotors from the discharge port
for lash adjustment. Shim should feed into pump between rotors when drive rotor
is turned in normal direction of rotation.
5. Install drive timing gear (10) loosely on shaft, then rotate in direction of normal
rotation and mesh both gears. Be careful that shim stock remains in place and that
rotation is correct. All backlash between timing gears must be removed before set-
ting gear on taper.
6. Set drive timing gear (10) by tapping gear with a hollow sleeve.
7. Apply anti-seize compound (4, Table 2-10 to timing gear locknut (8, Figure 4-1)
threads and install locknut on drive shaft. Wedge a piece of nylon or rawhide
between rotors to prevent rotation, and tighten locknut to 175 lb-ft.
Do not overtighten bearing adjusting nut setscrews. Excessive bearing preload
may result, causing bearing damage.
