To correctly install the seal kit in the pump of a Finn T60S HydroSeeder:

1. Remove the pump casing by taking out the four bolts that hold the casing and casing bearing to the pump frame.
2. Clean all parts, including the pump shaft.
3. Install the radial lip seal with the cavity side facing inward.
4. Reattach the casing and casing bearing to the clutch housing using the four bolts.
5. Lubricate the ceramic seat (in its neoprene holder) with light oil and place it squarely into the seal recess on the shaft.
6. Lubricate the inside of the bellows assembly with light oil. Ensure the steel ring is glued to the end of the assembly.
7. Slide the bellows assembly onto the shaft and push it until the steel ring contacts the ceramic seat.
8. Install the seal spring on the pump impeller hub.
