5.3Motor Installation: XB and XC Motor Adapter Pumps

STEPS

1.On a used motor, file the motor shaft smooth where the set screws were seated.

2.Coat the motor shaft with an anti-seize compound.

3.Slide the shaft coupler onto the motor shaft until fully seated, and tighten the two set screws.

4.Place the motor adapter onto the motor, such that the one drain hole is locat- ed down and the four side access ports are horizontal when the pump is rein- stalled.

5.Coat the round end of the pump shaft and shaft key with an anti-seize com- pound.

6.Place the pump liquid-end assembly with pump shaft and shaft key into the motor adapter, with the key aligned with the coupler key way.

7.Install the four (4) 5/16-18NC bolts and tighten.

8.Using a wood dowel, place it against the pump shaft end located in the dis- charge port. Tap on the end of the wood dowel until the pump shaft is fully seated in the shaft coupler, and then tighten the cone-point set screw (Figure 4.6, Removal of Mechanical Seal Holder from Motor Adapter).

9.Reinstall the pump and pump piping connections.

10.Reinstall the motor wiring.

11.For pump start-up see Section 3.0 (Pump Installation).

5.4Motor Removal: X Motor Adapter Pumps

STEPS

1.Disconnect the motor electrical power.

2.Remove the wiring to the motor.

3.Remove the piping from the pump.

4.Remove the pump mounting bolts, and place the pump on a work bench.

5.Remove the four (4) 5/16-18NC bolts that hold the pump liquid end to the motor adapter.
