INSTALLATION - SECTION B
OM-05444SUPER T SERIES
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Since pump installations are seldom identical, this
section offers only general recommendations and
practices required to inspect, position, and ar
range the pump and piping.
Most of the information pertains to a standard
static lift application where the pump is posi
tioned above the free level of liquid to be pumped.
If installed in a flooded suction application where
the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,
some of the information such as mounting, line

configuration, and priming must be tailored to the
specific application. Since the pressure supplied
to the pump is critical to performance and safety,
be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of
the maximum permissible operating pressure as
shown on the pump performance curve.
For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp
distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.
Pump Dimensions
See Figure 1 for the approximate physical dimen
sions of this pump.
Figure 1. Pump Model T10A61S-B
PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION
The pump assembly was inspected and tested be
fore shipment from the factory. Before installation,
inspect the pump for damage which may have oc
curred during shipment. Check as follows:
a. Inspect the pump for cracks, dents, damaged
threads, and other obvious damage.
b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard
ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry
ing, check for loose hardware at mating sur
faces.
c. Carefully read all warnings and cautions con
tained in this manual or affixed to the pump,
and perform all duties indicated. Note the di
rection of rotation indicated on the pump.
PAGE B - 1INSTALLATION

Check that the pump shaft rotates counter
clockwise when facing the impeller.
The pump assembly can be seriously
damaged if the cables or chains used to lift
and move the unit are improperly wrapped

and on the accompanying decal. Refer to
Rotation in OPERATION, Section C.
d. Check levels and lubricate as necessary. Re
fer to LUBRICATION in the MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR section of this manual and per
form duties as instructed.
e. If the pump and power source have been
stored for more than 12 months, some of the
components or lubricants may have ex
ceeded their maximum shelf life. These must
be inspected or replaced to ensure maxi
mum pump service.
If the maximum shelf life has been exceeded, or if
anything appears to be abnormal, contact your
Gorman‐Rupp distributor or the factory to deter
mine the repair or updating policy. Do not put the
pump into service until appropriate action has
been taken.
POSITIONING PUMP
Lifting
Locate the pump in an accessible place as close as
practical to the liquid being pumped. Level mount
ing is essential for proper operation.
The pump may have to be supported or shimmed
to provide for level operation or to eliminate vibra
tion.
SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING
Pump performance is adversely effected by in
creased suction lift, discharge elevation, and fric
tion losses. See the performance curve and oper
ating range shown on Page E‐1 to be sure your
overall application allows the pump to operate
within the safe operation range.
Materials
Either pipe or hose maybe used for suction and
discharge lines; however, the materials must be
compatible with the liquid being pumped. If hose is
used in suction lines, it must be the rigid‐wall, rein
forced type to prevent collapse under suction. Us
ing piping couplings in suction lines is not recom
mended.
Pump unit weights will vary depending on the
mounting and drive provided. Check the shipping
tag on the unit packaging for the actual weight, and
use lifting equipment with appropriate capacity.
Drain the pump and remove all customer‐installed
equipment such as suction and discharge hoses
or piping before attempting to lift existing, installed
units.
Make sure that hoists and other lifting equipment
are of sufficient capacity to safely handle the pump
assembly. If chains and cables are used, make cer
tain that they are positioned so that they will not
damage the pump, and so that the load will be bal
anced.
PAGE B - 2 INSTALLATION
Line Configuration
Keep suction and discharge lines as straight as
possible to minimize friction losses. Make mini
mum use of elbows and fittings, which substan
tially increase friction loss. If elbows are necessary,
use the long‐radius type to minimize friction loss.
Connections to Pump
Before tightening a connecting flange, align it ex
actly with the pump port. Never pull a pipe line into
place by tightening the flange bolts and/or cou
plings.
Page 10
OM-05444SUPER T SERIES
Lines near the pump must be independently sup
ported to avoid strain on the pump which could
cause excessive vibration, decreased bearing life,
and increased shaft and seal wear. If hose‐type
lines are used, they should have adequate support
to secure them when filled with liquid and under
pressure.
Gauges
Most pumps are drilled and tapped for installing
discharge pressure and vacuum suction gauges. If
these gauges are desired for pumps that are not
tapped, drill and tap the suction and discharge
lines not less than 18 inches (457 mm) from the
suction and discharge ports and install the lines.
Installation closer to the pump may result in erratic
readings.
SUCTION LINES
To avoid air pockets which could affect pump prim
ing, the suction line must be as short and direct as
possible. When operation involves a suction lift, the
line must always slope upward to the pump from
the source of the liquid being pumped; if the line
slopes down to the pump at any point along the
suction run, air pockets will be created.
Fittings
three or four times the cross section of the suction
line, and that the openings will not permit passage
of solids larger than the solids handling capability
of the pump.
This pump is designed to handle up to 3‐inch (76,2
mm) diameter spherical solids.
Sealing
Since even a slight leak will affect priming, head,
and capacity, especially when operating with a
high suction lift, all connections in the suction line
should be sealed with pipe dope to ensure an air
tight seal. Follow the sealant manufacturer's rec
ommendations when selecting and applying the
pipe dope. The pipe dope should be compatible
with the liquid being pumped.
Suction Lines In Sumps
If a single suction line is installed in a sump, it
should be positioned away from the wall of the
sump at a distance equal to 1‐1/2 times the diame
ter of the suction line.
If there is a liquid flow from an open pipe into the
sump, the flow should be kept away from the suc
tion inlet because the inflow will carry air down into
the sump, and air entering the suction line will re
duce pump efficiency.
Suction lines should be the same size as the pump
inlet. If reducers are used in suction lines, they
should be the eccentric type, and should be in
stalled with the flat part of the reducers uppermost
to avoid creating air pockets. Valves are not nor
mally used in suction lines, but if a valve is used,
install it with the stem horizontal to avoid air pock
ets.
Strainers
If a strainer is furnished with the pump, be certain
to use it; any spherical solids which pass through a
strainer furnished with the pump will also pass
through the pump itself.
If a strainer is not furnished with the pump, but is
installed by the pump user, make certain that the
total area of the openings in the strainer is at least
If it is necessary to position inflow close to the suc
tion inlet, install a baffle between the inflow and the
suction inlet at a distance 1‐1/2 times the diameter
of the suction pipe. The baffle will allow entrained
air to escape from the liquid before it is drawn into
the suction inlet.
If two suction lines are installed in a single sump,
the flow paths may interact, reducing the efficiency
of one or both pumps. To avoid this, position the
suction inlets so that they are separated by a dis
tance equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the
suction pipe.
Suction Line Positioning
The depth of submergence of the suction line is
critical to efficient pump operation. Figure 2 shows
recommended minimum submergence vs. veloc
ity.
PAGE B - 3INSTALLATION
Page 11
OM-05444 SUPER T SERIES
NOTE
The pipe submergence required may be reduced
by installing a standard pipe increaser fitting at the
end of the suction line. The larger opening size will
reduce the inlet velocity. Calculate the required
submergence using the following formula based
on the increased opening size (area or diameter).
Figure 2. Recommended Minimum Suction Line Submergence vs. Velocity
DISCHARGE LINES
Siphoning
Do not terminate the discharge line at a level lower
than that of the liquid being pumped unless a si
phon breaker is used in the line. Otherwise, a si
phoning action causing damage to the pump
could result.
Valves
A check valve in the discharge line is normally rec
ommended, but it is not necessary in low dis
charge head applications.
If a throttling valve is desired in the discharge line,
use a valve as large as the largest pipe to minimize
friction losses. Never install a throttling valve in a
suction line.
With high discharge heads, it is recommended that
a throttling valve and a system check valve be in
stalled in the discharge line to protect the pump
from excessive shock pressure and reverse rota
tion when it is stopped.
If the application involves a high discharge
head, gradually close the discharge
throttling valve before stopping the pump.
Bypass Lines
If it is necessary to permit the escape of air to atmo
sphere during initial priming or in the repriming
cycle, install a bypass line between the pump and
the discharge check valve. The bypass line should
be sized so that it does not affect pump discharge
capacity.
It is recommended that a Gorman‐Rupp Automatic
Air Release Valve be installed in the bypass line.
PAGE B - 4 INSTALLATION
Page 12
OM-05444SUPER T SERIES
Do Not install a manual shut‐off valve in a bypass
line. If a manual shut‐off valve is installed to facili
tate service of the Air Release Valve, the valve must
not be left closed during operation. See the sup
plement at the end of this section for additional in
formation on bypass lines and the Gorman‐Rupp
Automatic Air Release Valve.
NOTE
The bypass line may clog occasionally, particularly
when pumping liquids containing large solids. If
clogging occurs, locate and remove the clog. If the
clog is located between the discharge check valve
and the Air Release Valve, the valve will not close. If
the clog is located in the Relief Valve itself, or in the
line between the Relief Valve and the sump, the
valve will not open.
Do not terminate the discharge line at a level lower
than that of the liquid being pumped unless a si
phon breaker is used in the line; otherwise, a si
phoning action could result, causing damage to
the pump.
In low discharge head applications (less than 30
feet or 9,1 meters), it is recommended that the by
pass line be run back to the wet well, and located 6
inches (152,4 mm) below the water level or cut‐off
point of the low level pump. In some installations,
this bypass line may be terminated with a six‐to‐
eight foot length of 1‐1/4 inch (31,8 mm) I.D.
smooth‐bore hose; air and liquid vented during
the priming process will then agitate the hose and
break up any solids, grease, or other substances
likely to cause clogging.
A bypass line that is returned to a wet well
must be secured against being drawn into
the pump suction inlet.
this will reduce overall pumping efficiency. There
fore, it is recommended that a Gorman‐Rupp
Automatic Air Release Valve be installed in the
bypass line.
Gorman‐Rupp Automatic Air Release Valves are
reliable, and require minimum maintenance. See
AUTOMATIC AIR RELEASE VALVE in this section
for installation and theory of operation of the Auto
matic Air Release Valve. Consult your Gorman‐
Rupp distributor, or contact the Gorman‐Rupp
Company for selection of an Automatic Air Release
Valve to fit your application.
A manual shut‐off valve should not be
installed in any bypass line. A manual
shut‐off valve may inadvertently be left
closed during operation. A pump which
has lost prime may continue to operate
without reaching prime, causing dan
gerous overheating and possible explo
sive rupture of the pump casing. Per
sonnel could be severely injured.
Allow an over‐heated pump to cool be
fore servicing. Do not remove plates,
covers, gauges, or fittings from an over‐
heated pump. Liquid within the pump
can reach boiling temperatures, and va
por pressure within the pump can cause
parts being disengaged to be ejected
with great force. After the pump cools,
drain the liquid from the pump by re
moving the casing drain plug. Use cau
tion when removing the plug to prevent
injury to personnel from hot liquid.
It is also recommended that pipe unions be in
stalled at each 90 elbow in a bypass line to ease
disassembly and maintenance.
In high discharge head applications (more than
30 feet or 9,1 meters), an excessive amount of liq
uid may be bypassed and forced back to the wet
well under the full working pressure of the pump;
AUTOMATIC AIR RELEASE VALVE
When properly installed, a Gorman‐Rupp Auto
matic Air Release Valve will permit air to escape
through the bypass line and then close automati
cally when the pump is fully primed and pumping

ALIGNMENT
NOTE
For multiple pump installations, it is recommended
that each Air Release Valve be fitted with an inde
pendent bleeder line directed back to the wet well.
If multiple Air Release Valves are installed in a sys
tem, do not direct bleeder lines to a common mani
fold pipe. Contact your Gorman‐Rupp distributor or
PAGE B - 6 INSTALLATION
The alignment of the pump and its power source is
critical for trouble‐free mechanical operation. In
either a flexible coupling or belt‐driven system, the
driver and pump must be mounted so that their
shafts are aligned with and parallel to each other. It
is imperative that alignment be checked after the
Page 14
pump and piping are installed, and before opera
tion.
NOTE
Check Rotation, Section C, before final alignment
of the pump.
OM-05444SUPER T SERIES
When mounted at the Gorman‐Rupp factory, driver
and pump are aligned before shipment. Misalign
ment will occur in transit and handling. Pumps
must be checked and realigned before operation.
Before checking alignment, tighten the foundation
bolts. The pump casing feet and/or pedestal feet,
and the driver mounting bolts should also be tightly
secured.
When checking alignment, disconnect
the power source to ensure that the
pump will remain inoperative.
Adjusting the alignment in one direction
may alter the alignment in another direc
tion. check each procedure after altering
alignment.
Coupled Drives
When using couplings, the axis of the power
source must be aligned to the axis of the pump
shaft in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
Most couplings require a specific gap or clearance
between the driving and the driven shafts. Refer to
the coupling manufacturer's service literature.
Figure 4. Aligning Spider‐Type Couplings
Figure 5. Aligning Non‐Spider Type Couplings
Align non‐spider type couplings by using a feeler
gauge or taper gauge between the coupling halves
every 90. The coupling is in alignment when the
hubs are the same distance apart at all points (see
Figure 5).
Check parallel adjustment by laying a straightedge
across both coupling rims at the top, bottom, and
side. When the straightedge rests evenly on both
halves of the coupling, the coupling is in horizontal
parallel alignment. If the coupling is misaligned,
use a feeler gauge between the coupling and the
straightedge to measure the amount of misalign
ment.
Drive Belts
Align spider insert type couplings by using calipers
to measure the dimensions on the circumference
of the outer ends of the coupling hub every 90.
The coupling is in alignment when the hub ends
are the same distance apart at all points (see Fig
ure 4).
When using drive belts, the power source and the
pump must be parallel. Use a straightedge along
the sides of the pulleys to ensure that the pulleys
are properly aligned (see Figure 6). In drive sys
tems using two or more belts, make certain that the
belts are a matched set; unmatched sets will cause
accelerated belt wear.

General Rules of Tensioning
For new drive belts, check the tension after 5, 20
and 50 hours of operation and re‐tension as re
quired. Thereafter, check and re‐tension if required
monthly or at 500 hour intervals, whichever comes
first.
Tighten the belts in accordance with the belt manu
facturer's instructions. If the belts are too loose,
they will slip; if the belts are too tight, there will be
excessive power loss and possible bearing failure.
Select pulleys that will match the proper speed ra
tio; overspeeding the pump may damage both
pump and power source.
Ideal drive belt tension is the lowest tension at
which the belt will not slip under peak load condi
tions. Do not over‐tension drive belts. Over‐ten
sioning will shorten both drive belt and bearing life.
Under‐tensioning will cause belt slippage. Always
keep belts free from dirt, grease, oil and other for
eign material which may cause slippage.

If a Gorman‐Rupp Automatic Air Release Valve has
been installed, the valve will automatically open to
allow the pump to prime, and automatically close
after priming is complete (see INSTALLATION for
Air Release Valve operation).
If the bypass line is open, air from the suction line
will be discharged through the bypass line back to
the wet well during the priming cycle. Liquid will
then continue to circulate through the bypass line
while the pump is in operation.
Lines Without a Bypass
Open all valves in the discharge line and start the
power source. Priming is indicated by a positive
OPERATION PAGE C - 1
Page 17
reading on the discharge pressure gauge or by a
quieter operation. The pump may not prime imme
diately because the suction line must first fill with
liquid. If the pump fails to prime within five minutes,
stop it and check the suction line for leaks.
After the pump has been primed, partially close the
discharge line throttling valve in order to fill the line
slowly and guard against excessive shock pres
sure which could damage pipe ends, gaskets,
sprinkler heads, and any other fixtures connected
to the line. When the discharge line is completely
filled, adjust the throttling valve to the required flow
rate.
Do not operate the pump against a
closed discharge throttling valve for
long periods of time. If operated against
a closed discharge throttling valve,
pump components will deteriorate, and
the liquid could come to a boil, build
pressure, and cause the pump casing to
rupture or explode.
Leakage
No leakage should be visible at pump mating sur
faces, or at pump connections or fittings. Keep all
line connections and fittings tight to maintain maxi
mum pump efficiency.
Liquid Temperature And Overheating
SUPER T SERIESOM-05444
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,
pipe plugs, or fittings from an over
heated pump. Vapor pressure within
the pump can cause parts being disen
gaged to be ejected with great force. Al
low the pump to cool before servicing.
As a safeguard against rupture or explosion due to
heat, this pump is equipped with a pressure relief
valve which will open if vapor pressure within the
pump casing reaches a critical point. If overheating
does occur, stop the pump immediately and allow
it to cool before servicing it. Approach any over
heated pump cautiously. It is recommended that
the pressure relief valve assembly be replaced at
each overhaul, or any time the pump casing over
heats and activates the valve. Never replace this
valve with a substitute which has not been speci
fied or provided by the Gorman‐Rupp Company.
Strainer Check
If a suction strainer has been shipped with the
pump or installed by the user, check the strainer
regularly, and clean it as necessary. The strainer
should also be checked if pump flow rate begins to
drop. If a vacuum suction gauge has been in
stalled, monitor and record the readings regularly
to detect strainer blockage.
Never introduce air or steam pressure into the
pump casing or piping to remove a blockage. This
could result in personal injury or damage to the
equipment. If backflushing is absolutely neces
sary, liquid pressure must be limited to 50% of the
maximum permissible operating pressure shown
on the pump performance curve.
The maximum liquid temperature for this pump is
160F (71C). Do not apply it at a higher operating
temperature.
Overheating can occur if operated with the valves
in the suction or discharge lines closed. Operating
against closed valves could bring the liquid to a
boil, build pressure, and cause the pump to rup
ture or explode. If overheating occurs, stop the
pump and allow it to cool before servicing it. Refill
the pump casing with cool liquid.
Pump Vacuum Check
With the pump inoperative, install a vacuum gauge
in the system, using pipe dope on the threads.
Block the suction line and start the pump. At oper
ating speed the pump should pull a vacuum of 20
inches (508 mm) or more of mercury. If it does not,
check for air leaks in the seal, gasket, or discharge
valve.
Open the suction line, and read the vacuum gauge
with the pump primed and at operation speed.
OPERATIONPAGE C - 2
Page 18
SUPER T SERIES
OM-05444
Shut off the pump. The vacuum gauge reading will
immediately drop proportionate to static suction
lift, and should then stabilize. If the vacuum reading
falls off rapidly after stabilization, an air leak exists.
Before checking for the source of the leak, check
the point of installation of the vacuum gauge.
STOPPING
Never halt the flow of liquid suddenly. If the liquid
being pumped is stopped abruptly, damaging
shock waves can be transmitted to the pump and
piping system. Close all connecting valves slowly.
On engine driven pumps, reduce the throttle
speed slowly and allow the engine to idle briefly be
fore stopping.
If the application involves a high discharge
head, gradually close the discharge
throttling valve before stopping the pump.
After stopping the pump, disconnect or lock out
the power source or take other action to ensure
that the pump will remain inoperative.
Cold Weather Preservation
In below freezing conditions, drain the pump to
prevent damage from freezing. Also, clean out any
solids by flushing with a hose. Operate the pump
for approximately one minute; this will remove any
remaining liquid that could freeze the pump rotat
ing parts. If the pump will be idle for more than a
few hours, or if it has been pumping liquids con
taining a large amount of solids, drain the pump,
and flush it thoroughly with clean water. To prevent
large solids from clogging the drain port and pre
venting the pump from completely draining, insert
a rod or stiff wire in the drain port, and agitate the
liquid during the draining process. Clean out any
remaining solids by flushing with a hose.
BEARING TEMPERATURE CHECK
Bearings normally run at higher than ambient tem
peratures because of heat generated by friction.
Temperatures up to 160F (71C) are considered
normal for bearings, and they can operate safely to
at least 180F (82C).
Checking bearing temperatures by hand is inaccu
rate. Bearing temperatures can be measured ac
curately by placing a contact‐type thermometer
against the housing. Record this temperature for
future reference.
A sudden increase in bearing temperature is a
warning that the bearings are at the point of failing
to operate properly. Make certain that the bearing
lubricant is of the proper viscosity and at the cor
rect level (see LUBRICATION in MAINTENANCE
AND REPAIR). Bearing overheating can also be
caused by shaft misalignment and/or excessive vi
bration.
When pumps are first started, the bearings may
seem to run at temperatures above normal. Con
tinued operation should bring the temperatures
down to normal levels.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Since pump applications are seldom identical, and
pump wear is directly affected by such things as
the abrasive qualities, pressure and temperature
of the liquid being pumped, this section is intended
only to provide general recommendations and
practices for preventive maintenance. Regardless
of the application however, following a routine pre
ventive maintenance schedule will help assure
trouble‐free performance and long life from your
Gorman‐Rupp pump. For specific questions con
cerning your application, contact your Gorman‐
Rupp distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.
Record keeping is an essential component of a
good preventive maintenance program. Changes
in suction and discharge gauge readings (if so

equipped) between regularly scheduled inspec
tions can indicate problems that can be corrected
before system damage or catastrophic failure oc
curs. The appearance of wearing parts should also
be documented at each inspection for comparison
as well. Also, if records indicate that a certain part
(such as the seal) fails at approximately the same
duty cycle, the part can be checked and replaced
before failure occurs, reducing unscheduled down
time.
For new applications, a first inspection of wearing
parts at 250 hours will give insight into the wear rate
for your particular application. Subsequent inspec
tions should be performed at the intervals shown
on the chart below. Critical applications should be
inspected more frequently.

PUMP AND SEAL DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Follow the instructions on all tags, label and de
cals attached to the pump.
This pump requires little service due to its rugged,
minimum‐maintenance design. However, if it be
comes necessary to inspect or replace the wearing
parts, follow these instructions which are keyed to
the sectional views (see Figures E‐1 and E‐2) and
the accompanying parts lists.
This manual will alert personnel to known proce
dures which require special attention, to those
which could damage equipment, and to those
which could be dangerous to personnel. However,
this manual cannot possibly anticipate and provide
detailed precautions for every situation that might
occur during maintenance of the unit. Therefore, it
is the responsibility of the owner/maintenance per
sonnel to ensure that only safe, established main
tenance procedures are used, and that any proce
dures not addressed in this manual are performed
only after establishing that neither personal safety
nor pump integrity are compromised by such prac
tices.
Many service functions may be performed by
draining the pump and removing the suction head.
If major repair is required, the piping and/or engine
must be disconnected. The following instructions
assume complete disassembly is required.
sure that the pump will remain in
operative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool
if overheated.
4. Check the temperature before
opening any covers, plates, or
plugs.
5. Close the suction and discharge
valves.
6. Vent the pump slowly and cau
tiously.
7. Drain the pump.
Use lifting and moving equipment in
good repair and with adequate capacity
to prevent injuries to personnel or dam
age to equipment. Suction and dis
charge hoses and piping must be re
moved from the pump before lifting.
Cleanout Access And Suction Check Valve

(Figure E‐1)
Before attempting to service the pump, remove the
casing drain plug (41) and drain the pump. Clean
and reinstall the drain plug.
For cleanout access, loosen the clamp screws (15)
and clamp bars (13) securing the cleanout cover
(16) to the suction head (49).
Before attempting to service the pump, switch off
the engine ignition and disconnect the positive bat
tery cable to ensure that the pump will remain inop
erative. Close all valves in the suction and dis
charge lines.
Before attempting to open or service the

to the valve body (4) and suction head.
NOTE
An alternate method of removing the check valve
assembly is to remove the hardware securing the
valve body (4) to the suction piping. Disconnect the
shoulder‐type coupling (11) and separate the valve
body (4) and check valve from the suction head.
Separate the check valve from the valve body as de

Suction Head And Wear Plate Removal
(Figure E‐1)
To remove the suction head, support it with a suit
able hoist and sling and remove the hardware
(42,43, 44 and 45) securing it to the pump casing.
Remove the suction head gasket (40).
If the wear plate (38) does not slide easily from the
casing bore, position a wood or soft metal wedge
between the impeller vanes and the wear plate,
and tap the wedge with a hammer. Turn the impel
ler every 45, repeating the process until the wear
plate is “walked” out of the pump casing.
Rotating Assembly Removal
(Figure E‐2)
The rotating assembly (2, Figure 1) may be re
moved from either side of the casing; however, it is
recommended that it be removed through the suc
tion head opening.
The impeller (1) should be loosened while the rotat
ing assembly is still secured to the pump casing.
Before loosening the impeller, remove the seal cav
ity drain plug (28) and drain the seal lubricant. This
will prevent the oil in the seal cavity from escaping
as the impeller is loosened. Clean and reinstall the
seal cavity drain plug.
Immobilize the impeller by wedging a block of
wood between the vanes and remove the impeller
capscrew and washer (24 and 25). Install a lathe
dog on the drive end of the shaft (18) with the “V”
notch positioned over the shaft keyway. Strike the
lathe dog sharply in a counterclockwise direction
(when facing the drive end of the shaft). When the
impeller breaks loose, remove the wood block and
lathe dog. Do not fully unscrew the impeller from
the shaft at this time.
(Figure E‐1)
An optional disassembly tool for removing and in
stalling the rotating assembly is available from the
factory. If improvised tools are used, be sure they
are heavy enough for safe use and will not damage
the pump.
Remove the inner hardware (25 and 26) from the
casing ring (22). If the removal tool is used, follow

After removing the shaft and bearings, clean and
inspect the bearings in place as follows.
To prevent damage during removal from
the shaft, it is recommended that bearings
be cleaned and inspected in place. It is
strongly recommended that the bearings
be replaced any time the shaft and bear
ings are removed.
Clean the bearing housing, shaft and all compo
nent parts (except the bearings) with a soft cloth
soaked in cleaning solvent. Inspect the parts for
wear or damage and replace as necessary.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and
flammable. Use them only in a well ven
tilated area free from excessive heat,
sparks, and flame. Read and follow all
precautions printed on solvent contain
ers.
Clean the bearings thoroughly in fresh cleaning
solvent. Dry the bearings with filtered compressed
air and coat with light oil.
If bearing replacement is required, remove the out
board bearing retaining ring (19), and use a bear
ing puller or an arbor (or hydraulic) press to remove
the bearings from the shaft.
Press the oil seals (22 and 23) from the bearing
housing bore.
Shaft and Bearing Reassembly and Installation

nent parts (except the bearings) with a soft cloth
soaked in cleaning solvent. Inspect the parts for
wear or damage as necessary.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and
flammable. Use them only in a well ven

Inspect the shaft for distortion, nicks or scratches,
or for thread damage on the impeller end. Dress
small nicks and burrs with a fine file or emery cloth.
Replace the shaft if defective.
Position the inboard oil seal (22) in the bearing
housing bore with the lip positioned as shown in
Figure E‐2. Press the oil seal into the housing until
the face is just flush with the machined surface in

It is recommended that a sleeve be positioned
against the inboard oil seal (22) to prevent the lip of
the oil seal from rolling as the shaft and bearings
are installed in the bearing housing. The O.D. of the
sleeve should be just smaller than the bearing
housing bore, while the I.D. of the sleeve should be
just larger than the O.D. of the lip seal area of the
shaft.
With the lip seal sleeve in place, lubricate the lip
seal area of the shaft, and slide the shaft and as
sembled bearings into the bearing housing until

BRICATION at the end of this section.
Seal Reassembly and Installation
(Figures E‐2 and E‐5)
Clean the seal cavity and shaft with a cloth soaked
in fresh cleaning solvent.
The seal is not normally reused because wear pat
terns on the finished faces cannot be realigned
during reassembly. This could result in premature
failure. If necessary to reuse an old seal in an emer
gency, carefully wash all metallic parts in fresh
cleaning solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.
Handle the seal parts with extreme care to prevent
damage. Be careful not to contaminate precision
finished faces; even fingerprints on the faces can
shorten seal life. If necessary, clean the faces with a
non‐oil based solvent and a clean, lint‐free tissue.
Wipe lightly in a concentric pattern to avoid
scratching the faces.
Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring,
grooves, and other damage that might cause leak
age. Inspect the seal area of the impeller shaft, and
replace it if badly damaged. Dress any small
scratches with a fine file or emery cloth. If any com
ponents are worn, replace the complete seal;
never mix old and new seal parts.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and
flammable. Use them only in a well ven
tilated area free from excessive heat,
sparks, and flame. Read and follow all
precautions printed on solvent contain
ers.
If a replacement seal is being used, remove it from
the container and inspect the precision finished
faces to ensure that they are free of any foreign
matter.
To ease installation of the seal, lubricate the bel
lows and stationary seat O‐rings with water or a
very small amount of oil, and apply a drop of light
lubricating oil on the finished faces. Assemble the
seal as follows, (see Figure E‐5).

Install the seal plate gasket (4) and seal plate O‐
ring (33). Position the seal plate and stationary seat
over the shaft. Position the seal plate so that the
cast word “TOP” is upper most and secure it to the
bearing housing (9) with the hardware (6 and 7).
Torque the hardware to 90 ft. lbs. (1,080 in. lbs. or
12,4 m. kg.). Be careful not to damage the station
ary element on the shaft threads.
NOTE
It is recommended that a tapered sleeve be in
stalled over the threads of the impeller shaft to ease
installation of the rotating seal components.
Lubricate the shaft with a small amount of light oil
and slide the rotating subassembly (consisting of
rotating element, bellows and retainer), onto the
shaft. Apply firm, steady pressure on the seal re
tainer as it slides onto the shaft until the seal faces
contact.
Install the seal spring. Lubricate the seal as indi
cated in LUBRICATION after the impeller is in

any time the old seal is removed from the
pump. Wear patterns on the finished faces
cannot be realigned during reassembly.
Reusing an old seal could result in prema
ture failure.
Handle the seal parts with extreme care to prevent
damage. Be careful not to contaminate precision
finished faces; even fingerprints on the faces can
shorten seal life. If necessary, clean the faces with a
non‐oil based solvent and a clean, lint‐free tissue.
Wipe lightly in a concentric pattern to avoid
scratching the faces.
Carefully wash all metallic parts in fresh cleaning
solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.
Do not attempt to separate the rotating
portion of the seal from the shaft sleeve
when reusing an old seal. The rubber bel
lows will adhere to the sleeve during use,
and attempting to separate them could
damage the bellows.
Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring,
grooves, and other damage that might cause leak
age. Inspect the integral shaft sleeve for nicks or
cuts on either end. If any components are worn, or
the sleeve is damaged, replace the complete seal;
never mix old and new seal parts.
Install the stationary seal element in the stationary
seat. Press this stationary subassembly into the
seal end plate bore until it seats squarely against
the bore shoulder. A push tube made from a piece
of plastic pipe would aid this installation. The I.D. of
the pipe should be about the same as the I.D. of the
seal spring.
Slide the rotating portion of the seal (consisting of
rotating element, bellows and retainer) onto the
shaft until the seal faces contact.
Impeller Installation and Adjustment
(Figure E‐2)
Inspect the impeller, and replace it if cracked or
badly worn. Inspect the impeller and shaft threads
for dirt or damage, and clean or dress the threads
as required.
The shaft and impeller threads must be
completely clean before reinstalling the im
peller. Even the slightest amount of dirt on
the threads can cause the impeller to seize
to the shaft, making future removal difficult
or impossible without damage to the im
peller or shaft.
Install the same thickness of impeller adjusting
shims (31) as previously removed. Apply `Never‐
Seez' or equivalent compound to the shaft threads
and screw the impeller onto the shaft until tight. Be
sure the seal spring seats squarely over the shoul
der on the back side of the impeller.
NOTE
At the slightest sign of scraping, immediately back
the impeller off, and check the threads for dirt. Do
not try to force the impeller onto the shaft.
A clearance of .020 to .025 inch (0,51 to 0,64 mm)
between the impeller and the wear plate is recom
mended for maximum pump efficiency. Measure
this clearance, and add or remove impeller adjust
ing shims as required.
NOTE
If the rotating assembly has been installed in the
pump casing, this clearance may be measured by
reaching through the priming port with a feeler
gauge.
Install the seal spring. Lubricate the seal as indi
cated in LUBRICATION after the impeller is in
stalled.
Proceed with Impeller Installation and Adjust
ment.

Rotating Assembly Installation
(Figure E‐1)
Install the bearing housing and seal plate O‐rings
(36 and 37) and lubricate them with light grease.
Ease the rotating assembly into the pump casing
using the installation tool. Be careful not to dam
age the O‐rings.
Install the pump casing ring (22), and secure it to
the rotating assembly with the inner hardware (25
and 26).
NOTE
The inner capscrews are 1/4 inch (3,2 mm) shorter
than the outer capscrews.
Install an equal thickness of rotating assembly
shims (21) under the pump casing ring, and secure
the ring to the pump casing with the outer hard
ware (23 and 24).
Suction Head And Wear Plate Installation
(Figure E‐1)
Clean any scale or debris from the contacting sur
faces in the pump casing that might prevent a
good seal with the suction head or interfere with
the wear plate (38). Inspect the wear plate for wear
or damage and replace as required. Slide the wear
plate into the pump casing until fully seated.
Replace the suction head gasket (40) and lubricate
it with a generous amount of No. 2 grease. Use a
suitable hoist and sling to position the suction head
against the pump casing, and secure it with the
hardware (42, 43, 44 and 45).
NOTE
To ease future disassembly, apply a film of grease
or `Never‐Seez' on the suction head, or any surface
which contacts the pump casing. This action will re
duce rust and scale build‐up.
Suction Check Valve Installation
(Figure E‐1)
NOTE
If the pump has been completely disassembled, it
is recommended that the wear plate (38) and suc
tion head (49) be reinstalled at this point. The suc
tion head and wear plate must be in place to adjust
the impeller face clearance.
A clearance of .020 to .025 inch (0,51 to 0,64 mm)
between the impeller and the wear plate is also rec
ommended for maximum pump efficiency. This
clearance can be obtained by removing an equal
amount of shims from each rotating assembly
shim set (21) until the impeller scrapes against the
wear plate when the shaft is turned by hand. After
the impeller scrapes, add approximately .020 (0,51
mm) of shims to each shim set.
NOTE
An alternate method of adjusting this clearance is to
reach through the suction port with a feeler gauge
and measure the gap. Add or subtract rotating as
sembly shims accordingly.
Inspect the check valve components and replace if
badly worn.
Reach through the cleanout cover opening with
the check valve and secure it with the pivot caps (7)
and hardware (8, 9 and 10).
NOTE
If the check valve body (4) was removed, install the
check valve and secure the body to the suction
head with the shoulder type clamp (11).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
MAINTENANCE
(Figure E‐1)
The suction head is equipped with a pressure relief
valve (46) to provide additional safety for the pump
and operator (refer to Liquid Temperature And
Overheating in OPERATION).
It is recommended that the pressure relief valve as
sembly be replaced at each overhaul, or any time
the pump overheats and activates the valve. Never
replace this valve with a substitute which has not
