WARNING
Hazardous
machinery
NOTICE: UNIT ROTATION IS CLOCKWISE WHEN  
 
VIEWED FROM MOTOR END. INCORRECT  
 
ROTATION MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE  
 
PUMP AND VOIDS WARRANTY.
• Three Phase Motors ONLY
 
   
To check the pump rotation, observe pump while switch-
ing the electrical power ON then OFF quickly. If incorrect, 
have a qualifi ed electrician interchange two of the three 
motor  power wires.
Motor to Pump – Shaft Alignment
• After completion of the frame mounted unit baseplate 
installation, the motor and pump shaft alignment MUST  
be checked, see Figure 6, and the coupling spacer must  
be reinstalled.
• Before checking shaft alignment, insure that the foun-
dation, pump and motor holddown bolts are properly 
tightened.
• If realignment is required, ALWAYS make the required 
adjustments to the motor, shimming as necessary.
Figure 6
• To check for PARALLEL misalignment, place a dial  
indicator on one coupling hub, rotate the hub 360° while  
observing the indicator readings from the outside diameter  
of the other hub. Parallel alignment requires a Total   
Indicator Reading (TIR) of 0.005" (0.13 mm), or less.
• To check for ANGULAR misalignment, place a dial indica-
tor on one coupling hub, rotate the hub 360° while observ-
ing the indicator readings from the face of the other hub. 
Angular alignment requires 0.005" (0.13 mm) TIR, or less.
• Correct alignment is achieved when parallel and angular  
TIR requirements are satisfi ed and motor holddown bolts 
are tight.
NOTICE: RECHECK SHAFT ALIGNMENT AFTER  
 
MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
Operation
DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT 
SAFETY GUARD IN PLACE. TO DO 
SO CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL 
INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTICE:  PUMP MUST BE COMPLETELY PRIMED  
 BEFORE 
OPERATION.
DO NOT OPERATE PUMP AT OR 
NEAR ZERO FLOW. TO DO SO CAN 
CAUSE EXTREME HEAT, DAMAGE TO 
THE PUMP, PERSONAL INJURY OR 
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• After stabilizing the system at normal operating conditions, 
check the piping and coupling for correct alignments. If 
necessary, adjust pipe supports and realign the shafts  
following the procedures provided.
Maintenance
• Close coupled pump motors and frame mounted pump 
frames have permanently lubricated bearings. Additional 
lubrication is not necessary or possible.
• Follow the coupling and motor manufacturer’s  
 
recommendations regarding maintenance.
Disassembly
DISCONNECT AND LOCKOUT 
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE 
ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE. 
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE A 
SHOCK, BURN OR DEATH.
CASING MAY CONTAIN HAZARDOUS 
FLUIDS THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS 
PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY 
DAMAGE.
• Drain and fl ush system, as required.
• For close coupled or frame mounted units:
• Remove the motor or bearing frame holddown bolts
• Remove the coupling guard and coupling spacer
• Remove the 4 casing screws (370), then utilizing the slots 
provided about the casing (100), pry the back pull-out as-
sembly from casing. Carefully remove the casing shims.
NOTICE:  IMPELLER COMPRESSES THE MECHANICAL  
 
SEAL SPRING – BE PREPARED FOR THE  
 
IMPELLER TO SPRING FROM THE SHAFT  
 WHEN 
UNSCREWED.
• To remove the impeller it is necessary to heat the center 
hub area with a hand propane torch for approximately 30 
seconds. Unscrew the impeller (101) from the shaft, turn the 
impeller COUNTERCLOCKWISE while holding the shaft. 
Motors have a screwdriver slot or hex provided under the 
motor end cap. Examine the impeller for wear or damage and 
replace as necessary. Discard the shaft sleeve O-ring (412A).
NOTICE: EXERCISE CARE HANDLING HOT  
 
 IMPELLER.
• To remove the mechanical seal, remove the 4 seal housing 
screws (370H) and slide the seal housing assembly off the 
shaft. Discard the rotary half of the seal and the seal hous-
ing O-ring (513). With an appropriately sized screwdriver 
handle, push the stationary half of the seal from the seal 
housing and discard it.
