Pump Reassembly/Seal Replacement<br />
1. When installing the replacement shaft seal, use silicone sealant on the metal portion before pressing into the<br />
seal plate as shown above.<br />
2. Before installing the rotating portion of the seal into the impeller, be sure the impeller is clean. Use a light<br />
density soap and water to lubricate the inside of the seal. Press the seal into the impeller with your thumbs<br />
and wipe off the ceramic and carbon faces with a clean cloth.<br />
3. Remount the seal plate to the motor.<br />
4. Grease the motor shaft thread and screw impeller onto the motor shaft.<br />
5. Screw in the impeller lock screw (counterclockwise to tighten).<br />
6. Remount the diffuser onto the seal plate. Make sure the plastic pins and holding screw inserts are aligned.<br />
7. Grease the diffuser O-ring and seal plate gasket prior to reassembly.<br />
8. Grease the bolt threads, assemble the motor sub-assembly to the strainer pot-pump body by using the two<br />
(2) through bolts for proper alignment. Do not tighten the through bolts until all six (6) bolts are in place and<br />
finger tightened.<br />
9. Fill the pump with water.<br />
10. Reinstall the pump lid and plastic clamp then reprime the system, see page 39.<br />
Shaft Seal Replacement<br />
The Shaft Seal consists primarily of two parts, a rotating member and a ceramic seal. The pump requires<br />
little or no service other than reasonable care, however, a Shaft Seal may occasionally become damaged<br />
and must be replaced.<br />
Note: The polished and lapped faces of the seal could be damaged if not handled with care.<br />
