Periodic maintenance and inspection is required on all pumps to insure proper operation. Unit must be clear of debris and sediment. Inspect for leaks and loose bolts. Failure
to do so voids warranty.
1 ½-Inch High Pressure Pumps
Refer to pump manual 1808-633-00 for General Operating and Safety Instructions.
DESCRIPTION
These self-priming (to 20 ft. lift) high pressure engine driven pumps are equipped with two 316 stainless steel high performance impellers and a Buna-N
mechanical seal to prevent leakage, coupled to a 4-cycle gasoline engine. The pump is designed for higher pressure applications such as lawn
sprinkling, spraying irrigation, also, draining and general dewatering applications. Handles liquids from 40º to 180º F (4º to 82º C). For use with non-
flammable liquids, compatible with pump component materials.
MAINTENANCE
To prevent accidental starting always remove spark plug, or
disconnect and ground spark plug wire before attempting to
service or remove any component.
MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT
Refer to Figures 1 & 2.
IMPORTANT: Always replace both seal seat and seal head to ensure
proper mating of components!
1. Unthread fasteners (Ref. No. 19) and remove pump casing
(Ref. No. 17) from adapter (Ref. No. 3).
2. Unthread fasteners (Ref. No. 15) and remove suction inlet
(Ref. No. 4) from diffuser (Ref. No. 5).
3. Unthread fastener (Ref. No. 9) from stub shaft (Ref. No. 2).
NOTE: To loosen fastener (Ref. No. 9), place an allen wrench in one
fasteners in collar (Ref. No. 8) to prevent shaft from turning.
4. Unscrew first stage impeller (Ref. No.1) from stub shaft
(impeller unscrews CCW looking at stub shaft).
NOTE: A strap wrench is recommended to loosen both impellers.
Attempts to loosen impellers with other tools may cause permanent
damage to impellers. Due to close running fits between parts,
damaged impellers should be replaced before reassembly of pump.
5. Unthread fasteners (Ref. No. 15) and remove diffuser (Ref.
No. 5) and diffuser/crossover (Ref. No. 6) from adapter (Ref.
No. 3) as a unit.

6. Remove shaft sleeve (Ref. No. 7) from stub shaft and
unscrew second stage impeller (Ref. No. 1).
7. Remove seal head (Ref. No. 12) from stub shaft.
8. Unscrew fasteners (Ref. No. 22) and remove adapter from
motor mounting face.
9. Push seal seat (Ref. No. 11) from adapter recess with
screwdriver.
10. Clean adapter recess before inserting new seal seat.
11. Carefully wipe seal face surface of new seal seat with clean
cloth.
12. Wet rubber portion of new seal seat with a light coating of
soapy water.
13. Press new seal seat squarely into adapter recess. If seal
seat does not press squarely into recess, it can be adjusted
in place by pushing on it with a piece of pipe. Always use a
piece of cardboard between pipe and seal seat to avoid
scratching seal seat. (This is a lapped surface and must be
handled very carefully.)
14. After seal seat is in place, ensure that it is clean and has not
been marred.
15. Using a clean cloth, wipe stub shaft and make certain that it
is perfectly clean.
NOTE: The stub shaft position is factory set to provide proper seal and
impeller location. Do not loosen the collar (Ref. No. 8) or remove stub
shaft during mechanical seal replacement or entire rotor will need
resetting during reassembly. (See ROTOR ADJUSTMENT on next
page.)
16. Carefully guide seal seat over stub shaft and secure adapter
(Ref. No. 3) to motor mounting face.
17. Apply a light coating of soapy water to inside rubber portion
of seal head (Ref. No. 12) and slide onto stub shaft (with
polished sealing face first) so that rubber portion is just over
shoulder at end of threads on stub shaft.
Do not touch or wipe polished face of seal head.
18. Screw second stage impeller back in place and tighten using
a strap wrench on impeller shroud opening until the impeller
is against stub shaft shoulder.
NOTE: A strap wrench is required to tighten both impellers. Use of any
other kind of tool could permanently damage impeller and cause
damage to pump due to close running fits between impellers and
diffuser and suction inlet.
19. Slide shaft sleeve (Ref. No. 7) onto stub shaft.
20. Apply small amount of grease or Vaseline on outside shroud
of impeller opening and shaft sleeve. Remount diffuser (Ref.
No. 5) and diffuser/crossover (Ref. No. 6). Before tightening
fasteners, rotate stub shaft and be sure impeller and shaft
sleeve are not rubbing on diffuser or diffuser/crossover.
21. Screw first stage impeller into place and tighten with a strap
wrench. Install fastener (Ref. No. 9) onto end of stub shaft.
