Installing Ball Bearings Cleaning Most Waterous pumps are designed so that ball bearings fit tightly on their shafts and have relatively loose fits in the bearing housings. When The continued satisfactory operation of a pump depends to a great extent mounting these bearings on shafts, always apply force to the inner races.
Disassembly - Remove Intake End of Pump Intake Adapter, Impeller & Mechanical Seal Removal NOTE: The wear ring in the intake adapter cannot be removed without being destroyed. Inspect the wear rings and impeller per instructions on Page 5 to determine if replacement is required.
Disassembly - Remove Pump from Transmission or Bearing Housing Removal of End Yoke Removal of Oil Seal, Throttle Bushing, Mechanical Seal Stationary Ring Stand the pump in a vertical position with the intake adapter flange of the pump Remove the oil seal from the bore in the volute body. body volute facing down.
Inspection and Repair Impeller and Wear Rings Check wear rings and impeller hubs for deep grooves or scratches. Spirol on the impeller hub on which it was used. Hold the wear ring firmly against grooves or grooves parallel to the impeller shaft increase leakage. Inspect one side of the hub and measure total clearance on the opposite side, for excessive wear ring clearance.

Inspection and Repair (Cont’d) Impeller Shaft Examine shaft for signs of severe scratches, grooves or corrosion, espe- Scratches in the area of the bellows of the mechanical seal can possibly cially under the oil seal or mechanical seals. If scratches are not severe, be removed by spinning the shaft in a lathe and polishing with a fine and are not under seals, they can be ignored.
Identify the lapped surface of the seal stationary ring. The un- lapped face of the stationary ring has a mark. The lapped Note: If Waterous Mechanical Seal Lubricant part no. 52608 is not available, surface has no mark, P80 rubber lubricant, straight dish soap or glycerin may be substituted.
