Tightening the Pump Gland Bolt

Pump gland bolt
Part 1120130
NOTE: This procedure applies only to pumps with a gland bolt.
On pumps with a gland bolt, adhesive may leak from the self‐sealing pump
shaft packing at regular intervals. When leakage occurs, tighten the pump
gland bolt.
1. Heat the pump to application temperature using a heated air blower.
2. See Figure 7‐5. Using a 24‐mm short‐handle, open‐end wrench (with a
15‐degree offset), tighten the pump gland bolt approximately
clockwise (in the direction of pump rotation). When the bolt can no longer
be tightened, replace the pump.
3. Restore the system to normal operation.
