Pump Reassembly/Seal Replacement
1. When installing the replacement shaft seal, use silicone sealant on the metal portion before pressing into the
seal plate as shown above.
2. Before installing the rotating portion of the seal into the impeller, be sure the impeller is clean. Use a light
density soap and water to lubricate the inside of the seal. Press the seal into the impeller with your thumbs
and wipe off the ceramic and carbon faces with a clean cloth.

7. Grease the diffuser O-ring and seal plate gasket prior to reassembly.

(2) through bolts for proper alignment. Do not tighten the through bolts until all six (6) bolts are in place and
finger tightened.
9. Fill the pump with water.
10. Reinstall the pump lid and plastic clamp then reprime the system, see page 39.
Shaft Seal Replacement
The Shaft Seal consists primarily of two parts, a rotating member and a ceramic seal. The pump requires
little or no service other than reasonable care, however, a Shaft Seal may occasionally become damaged
and must be replaced.
Note: The polished and lapped faces of the seal could be damaged if not handled with care.
