Shaft Seal Change Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
When servicing electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be observed including the
following. Failure to follow instructions may result in injury.
 WARNING – To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
 Disconnect all electrical power service to pump before beginning shaft seal replacement.
 Only qualified personnel should attempt rotary seal replacement.
 Refer to Figure 9.6-1 for motor drive removal and mounting.
 Refer to Figure 10.1-1 for pump component locations.
Exercise extreme care in handling both the rotating and the stationary sections of the two-part replacement
seal. Foreign matter or improper handling will easily scratch the Silicon Carbide and ceramic sealing
surfaces.
9.1. Removing the Motor Assembly
1. Remove the six (6) 5/16" x 2" hex head bolts (item #17), which hold the motor assembly to the
pump/strainer housing (item #3), using a 1/2" wrench or socket.
