MAINTENANCE 

PUMP ASSEMBLY 

Before reassembling the pump, inspect all component parts 
for wear or damage, and replace as required.  Wash out the 
bearing/seal recess of the head and remove any burrs or 
nicks from the rotor and shaft.  Remove any burrs from the 
liner. 

1.  Install liner key (74) in casing (12). 

2.  Align the liner (41) keyway with the key (74) in the pump 

casing (12) and start the liner into the casing.  The word 
“INTAKE” cast on the liner must face the intake port of 
the pump casing. 

3.  Uniformly tap the outer edge of the liner with a rubber 

mallet to fully insert into the casing. 

4. 

Reassemble the INBOARD (driven) side of the pump 
first. 

For a right-hand (clockwise) rotation pump, position the 
pump case with the intake flange (2”, 8 bolts) to the right. 

For a left-hand (counterclockwise) rotation pump, 
position the pump case with the intake flange (2”, 8 bolts) 
to the left. 

5.  Place the inboard disc (71) against the liner (41) on the 

inboard side of pump with the seal cavity outward and 
disc relief hole located as shown in Figure 8. 

 

Figure 8.  Disc Installation 

6.  Apply a light coat of grease to the grease seal journal in 

the inboard head (20). 

7.  Install new small grease seal (104) into inboard head 

(20).  Flat side of grease seal must face outside of head, 
with spring and lip side facing inside of head. 

8.  Install bearing spring (24C) in inboard head (20). 

9.  Install outer race of bearing (24) into bearing pocket in 

inboard head (20). 

10.  Install grease seal (104A) into bearing pocket of head 

with open side toward bearing and flat side facing 
outward.  Gently push or tap the grease seal until flat 
face of grease seal is about 1/8

” 

(4 mm) past the larger 

diameter flat face in head.  Refer to Figure 9.

Figure 10.  Stationary Seat Installation 

11.  Place new stationary seat O-ring (153D) in groove of 

stationary seat (153A). 

12.  Lubricate the stationary seat journal in the inboard head 

(20) with a light coating of grease. 

13.  Align stationary seat (153A) into inboard head (20) with 

raised face outward and location pin on opposite side 
aligned with the anti-rotation slot in the head.  Refer to 
Figure 10. 

14.  Gently push stationary seat into head.  Be careful not to 

nick the raised face on the stationary seat.  Clean the 
polished face with a clean tissue and alcohol. 

15.  Without installing the head O-ring (72) or rotating 

mechanical seal components, temporarily attach the 
inboard head (20) to the casing (12).  Install and hand-
tighten two head capscrews (21), 180 degrees apart. 

16.  Grease the inboard end of the shaft of the rotor and shaft 

assembly (13). 

17.  Gently slide rotor and shaft assembly (13) into the casing 

(12) and through the grease seals (104 & 104A) and 
bearing (24) in the inboard head (20).
