Operation and Maintenance Guide SDP 50 Plastic Pump Series
d. Now unscrew the bolts (25), (26) and Flange
nut (28). is will allow to remove the Outer
chamber (6).
e. Now open the other side Outer chamber (6) in
the same manner.
f. Now Hold one of the outer ange (5) by its
across at and rotate the other.
g. Now hold the sha in a bench vice with proper
packing in order not to damage the sha. Now
remove the second outer ange (5).
h. Now the Bonded diaphragm (11) can be re-
moved and replaced with new one. Make sure
to keep the orientation of diaphragm correct
I.e; PTFE side towards Outer chamber (6) side.
i. Now re-assemble in reverse manner. Insert
the sha assembly in rotating manner into the
center piece assembly.. Some drop of recom-
mend oil must be applied in the center piece to
have ease in assembly.
j. Care must be taken while tting the outer
chamber (6). Make sure to put the bolt (25)
and (26) in proper holes.
2. Replacement of Shaft O rings
a. For removing the rubber rings (9) from center
piece assembly, rst follow the steps a, b, c,
d, e & f from the diaphragm replacement.
is time need to remove both the diaphragm
from any one side and on the other side you
can remove the diaphragm with the sha.
b. Now remove the seals with the help of needle
Nose pliers. Care should be taken not to dam-
age the inner face of bush.
c. Once all the old seals are have been removed,
the inside of the bushing should be cleaned
to ensure no debris is le that may damage to
new seals (Pressurized air is preferable).
d. ese following tools can be used to aid in the
installation of new seals:
• Needle Nose pliers
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Electrical Tape
e. Wrap electrical tape around each leg of the
needle nose pliers (heat shrink may also be used)
. is is done to prevent damaging the inside
portion of the new seals.
f. With a new seal in hand, place the two legs of the
nose pliers inside the seal ring. Open the pliers
as wide as the seal diameter will allow, then two
ngers pull down on the top portion of the seal
to form kidney bean shape.
g. Lightly clamp the pliers together to hold the seal
into the kidney shape. Be sure to pull the seal
into as tight of a kidney shape as possible, this
will allow the seal to travel down the bushing
bore easier.
h. With the seal clamped in the pliers, insert the
seal into the bushing bore and position the bot-
tom of the seal into the correct groove. Once the
bottom of the seal is seated in the groove, release
the clamp pressure on the pliers. is will allow
the seal to partially snap back to its original
shape.
i. Aer the pliers are removed, you will notice a
slight bump in the seal shape. Before the seal
can be properly resized, the bump in the seal
should be removed as much as possible. is can
be done with either the Phillips screw driver or
your nger, apply light pressure to the peak of
the bump. is pressure will cause the bump to
be almost completely eliminated.
j. Lubricate the edge of the sha with specied
lubricant.
k. Slowly insert the sha with rotating motion. is
will complete the resizing of the seals.
l. Perform these steps for the remaining seals.
