NOTE: An im eller removal tool (Part No.
0015WRS781) is available to facilitate removal of the
im eller, refer to Section 6.10 Remove Im eller.
Removal of the im eller will allow the mechanical seal
s ring to ex and. Do not touch the shaft sleeve (C06)
or s ring if the mechanical seal has been functioning
correctly and only the im eller is to be re laced.
Premature failure of the mechanical seal assembly
could result if the seal's faces are disturbed by moving
the shaft sleeve.
7. When fitting a new im eller, ensure that key (C05)
is not a tight fit in the im eller keyway. If
necessary, remove very small amounts of metal
from the sides of the key to achieve a close sliding
fit that will not allow any erce tible rotation of the
im eller on the shaft, and yet allow the im eller to
slide into lace by hand. A ly Rustilo 431 grease
(or a roved equivalent) to all im eller mounting
surfaces.
8. Check condition of nylon atch on im eller screw
(C01). It is essential that this screw should be stiff
to turn in the thread of the shaft. On no account
use a screw that moves freely. Use a new screw
if the head of the original com onent is abraded or
if the screw is not a friction fit in the shaft thread.
Do NOT lubricate these threads.
9. Ensuring that the mechanical seal s ring is in
osition, re lace im eller (C04), washer (C03) two
washers (C02) with concave faces towards
im eller and im eller screw (C01), and tension
screw to 80lbf ft (11kgf m) torque. It is essential
that this screw is correctly tensioned. During this
o eration, it will be necessary to lock the im eller
by means of a wooden block wedged between the
im eller blades and um body (C09). Remove
block after use.
10. Use Rustilo 431 on inside of um register. Fit
new gasket (B28), osition suction tube on studs,
fit washers (B30) and (B39) and fully tighten nuts
(B29) and (B36). Grease should be smeared on
the inside of the dome nuts (B36), which must be
correctly ositioned on studs inside suction tube.
11. Renew gasket (B25), re osition se arator body
sub-assembly on suction tube, and fit se arator
ca assembly. Assemble washers (A12) and nuts
(A11) and alternatively tighten each nut a small
amount to ensure that the ca is ulled down
evenly. Do NOT overtighten.
12. Re osition air hose (A01) on s igot of se arator
ca (B01) and tighten hose cli (A02).
13. Re lace drain lug (D34) using PTFE ta e as a
sealant, and fill flushing chamber with new oil to
level of lug. Re lace lug and ‘O’ ring (D08) and
(D07). Refer to Section 3.1 Pum Lubrication for
details of the oil required for the flushing chamber.
5.3.2 Mechanical Seal (C08)
The mechanical seal should be re laced if the flushing
chamber oil continuously leaks into the um ed fluid,
or if the oil becomes contaminated with the roduct.
This latter condition is sometimes indicated by leakage
of fluid out of a breather ca (D12). Under extreme
conditions, um ed fluid may be seen esca ing out of
the vent at the bottom of flushing chamber (D33).
In the event of abrasive materials being detected in the
oil, it is likely that li seal (D04) will have become worn
and necessitate re lacement in accordance with
Section 5.4.3 Bearings and Li Seal (D15, D18 and
D04).
Daily checks on oil condition should ensure that seal
failure is detected before damage occurs to related
com onents.
If the mechanical seal leaks, roceed as follows:
1. Drain oil from flushing chamber (D33) by removing
its filler ca (D08) and drain lug (D34).
2. Remove im eller (C04) in accordance with
Section 5.3.1 Im eller (C04) Instructions 1 to 6
inclusively, and remove im eller key (C05).
3. Withdraw shaft sleeve (C06) together with rotating
mechanical seal arts and s ring. It is likely that
‘O’ ring (C07) will be withdrawn with the sleeve
remove it and check condition. Re lace ‘O’ ring if
unsuitable for further service.
4. Using seat removal tool (Part No. 0015166000),
withdraw mechanical seal stationary seat from its
housing in um body (C09). Also remove the
seat's rubber joint ring. Refer to Section 6.3
Removal of Mechanical Seal Stationary Seat and
Joint Ring.
5. The rotating arts of mechanical seal (C08) should
now be removed from the shaft sleeve and
discarded, taking care not to damage the sleeve's
surfaces. This o eration should be carried out by
hand using a tool that will not scratch the sleeve.
Once removed, examine condition of sleeve and
re lace with new com onent if unacce tably
corroded or worn.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
New mechanical seal com onents must
be handled with great care, in
articular, the seal faces must not be
touched by hand and must only come
into contact with clean soft a er that is
free from abrasive materials.
Premature seal failure is likely to occur
if this advice is not heeded.
6. Thoroughly clean recess in um body (C09) and
also the surrounding surfaces. Smear lubricant
(soft soa or washing u liquid, but not grease) in
recess and also on outside diameter of rubber
joint ring. Using several layers of clean soft a er
to rotect the seating face, ress seat into recess
by a lying even finger ressure. Make sure that
the highly olished sealing face is on the im eller
side of the recess, that the new joint ring has been
used, and that the seat is ositioned directly
against the shoulder at the bottom of the recess.
7. Smear oil on drive shaft diameters and ‘O’ ring
(C07). Position ‘O’ ring on shaft taking care to
revent it contacting the shaft's keyway. If a new
shaft sleeve (C06) is being used, ensure that it is
ca able of sliding freely along the shaft and
correctly tra ing the ‘O’ ring in the recess
rovided.
