Figure 4-2. Packing Removal Tool
4. If drive shaft is not worn, install three rings of packing,
the lantern ring halves, and four more rings of packing; lubri-
cating them before installation with a good grade of packing
grease. Be sure to stagger the packing ring joints at 90° in-
crements. (See Section 4-35.)
CAUTION: Always use a proper
packing tamper tool to
install packing. Do not use a pointed or
sharp tool
,
as damage to the packing mate-
rial or drive shaft could result. To assure
proper
shaft lubrication, never use a one-
piece spiral wrap packing.
5. Replace packing gland and secure with packing gland
nuts. (See fig. 4-1.)
6. Adjust packing per Section 4-3.
4.5. LUBRICATION
4.6. Bearings.
The bearings are lubricated at the factory
and will only need to be re-lubricated when the shaft/bearing
assembly is removed from the pump. (See Section 4.34.)
4-7. Gear Joints.
Both gear joints are packed with lubri-
cant during assembly, and will only need to be re-lubricated
when gear joints are disassembled. (See Section 4-34.)
4-8. G-3 Oilers.
Ensure that both oilers (item 1, fig. 4-10)
are filled with a suitable SAE 30 or 40 weight oil.
4-9. DISASSEMBLY OF G2 OPEN THROAT PUMP
Note: In the following G2 disassembly instructions, the part
reference numbers are from fig. 4-7.
Note: The following instructions cover ONE procedure for
disassembling all pump components. Major pump
components can be disassembled in various ways
since specific installation location limitations will de-
termine method of component removal.
4-10. Disconnect Pump
1. Operate pump (preferably with clean water) to insure
rotor and stator are not dry.
2. Shut off pump.
3. Close suction and discharge valves.
4. Turn off flush water to packing or mechanical seal,
if used.
5. Disconnect power source.
6. Drain any fluid in pump.
7. Remove inspection plate (17) and gasket (18).

4-11. Packing Removal
1. Stop pump.
2. Complete Section 4-10, steps 2 - 6.
3. Remove gland adjustment nuts (E) and gland halves
(12) from stuffing box.
4. Remove packing rings (10). This is best done by using
flexible packing extractors (see fig. 4.2). Use two extractors
simultaneously on opposite sides of each ring. Pull evenly.
5. Remove lantern rings (13) in similar fashion. Twist split
rings to remove from shaft.
6. Remove additional packing rings.
4-12. Stator Removal
1. Complete Section 4-10.
2. Remove
section of discharge pipe attached to dis-
charge flange (45).
3. Remove discharge
flange (45) by unbolting from stator
clamp ring (40B) and remove stator gasket (42). Remove
stator retaining ring (43) and stator clamp ring (40B) from
stator (44).
Note: Omit above step 3 when using following method 6a to
separate rotor and stator.
4. Remove top half of stator support (41).
5. Unbolt stator clamp ring (40A) from adapter flange
(21) and suction housing (19). Remove stator gasket (42).
Use a screwdriver tip to carefully remove stator retaining
ring (43). (See fig. 4-3.) Remove stator clamp ring (40A)
from stator (44).
Figure 4-3. Typical Retaining Ring Removal
6. Pull stator
(44) off rotor (37).
Note: On multiple stage pumps, or when also cleaning,
checking or changing stator (44), rotor (37) and/or
gear joint assembly, one of the following procedures
is suggested.
6a. Use winch-type device if anchored directly opposite
stator end. Attach cable to discharge flange (45) to pull sta-
tor (44) off rotor (37).
