DISASSEMBLY

 

 

1. 

Mark head and casing before disassembly to insure 
proper reassembly.  The idler pin, which is offset in 
pump head, must be positioned toward and equal 
distance between port connections to allow for proper 
flow of liquid through pump. 

 

Remove head from pump. 

 

Do not allow idler to fall 

from idler pin. 

 

Tilt top of head back when removing to 

prevent this.  Avoid damaging head gasket.  If pump is 
furnished with pressure relief valve, it need not be 
removed from head or disassembled at this point.  

Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE 
INSTRUCTIONS

, page 13. 

 

If LS pump has jacketed head plate, it will separate from 
head when it is removed.   The gasket between head 
and jacket head plate must be totally removed.  Use 
new gasket when assembling pump.  Q, QS and M 
pumps have jacketed plate welded to head. 

 

2. 

Remove idler and bushing assembly. 

 

3. 

Insert length of hardwood or brass through port opening 
between rotor teeth to keep shaft from turning.  Bend up 
tang of lockwasher and with a spanner wrench remove 
locknut and lockwasher from shaft. 
Remove length of hardwood or brass from port opening 

 

4. 

Remove packing gland nuts. 

 

5. 

Tap shaft forward approximately 0.50 inch and remove 
pair of half round rings under inner bearing spacer 
collar.  Q, QS and M size do not use half round rings.
