DISASSEMBLY OF PUMP

NOTE:

Numbers in parentheses correspond to the numbers shown on the parts illustration

 

and parts list in Section 6 labeled Direct Drive Motor-Pump Assembly.

When the front panel is removed, all the working parts of the pump are accessible under clearly marked cover plates. Since pump may contain product, be prepared to catch product in an appropriate container when removing any cover.

Remove pump cover screws and remove cover plate (1) and square ring (2). Note orientation of rotor (4) and of vanes (36) in rotor slots. Remove key (3) and withdraw rotor and vanes from pump block (12). Since rotor is spring loaded, make sure washer (6) and spring (7) remain on pump shaft. Insert new rotor and replace vanes so that trailing edge slopes away from direction of pump rotation (counterclockwise). Reinstall key in shaft slot and rotor keyway. Check pump cover for scoring (if scored, replace). Replace square ring (2) and while holding rotor in against spring tension, slide cover over opening and tighten screws.

To replace shaft seal, remove rotor and vanes as above. Slide spring (7) and both washers (6) off shaft. O-ring (8) will act as a brake to resist removal of brass, rotating seal ring (9). To overcome this resistance, lightly grasp brass ring with pliers and pull at the same time turning shaft back and forth with the flat blade of a screwdriver in the keyslot in the end of the shaft. Remove O-ring from brass ring and spread some grease over machined surface of ring; reinsert brass ring over shaft and press greased surface against carbon, floating seal ring (10). The carbon ring can now be withdrawn stuck to the brass ring. Do not break up the carbon ring to remove it, since some of the pieces may get lost in the pump casting and cause the rotor or measuring chamber to jam later in service. Use a bent wire as a button-hook to hook and withdraw O-ring (11) from recess in back of pump cavity. Install new seal group (5) in reverse order. Make sure recess in back of pump cavity is clean and that O-ring (11) is firmly seated and not twisted in this recess.

NOTE It is critical that the seal part mating surfaces remain clean and dry. Do not touch or allow oil of any type to contaminate the carbon or brass mating surfaces. If the seal inadvertently becomes contaminated, both mating surfaces must be carefully cleaned with a lint-free cloth and methyl alcohol.

The bypass valve (29) is preset to provide maximum performance without overloading the motor and can be withdrawn by removing the bypass cover plate (31). When reassembling, make sure the holed end of the tube (32) and bullet-shaped nose of the valve (29) are inserted toward the pump.

The check valve is attached to the check valve cover (26) and will come out when the cover is removed. If you can hear the product in the suction line running back into the storage tank when this assembly (20) is removed, the check valve is holding and keeping the pump primed. When reassembling, make sure the rubber valve disc is facing down toward the valve seat.

METER-REGISTER DISASSEMBLY

NOTE:

Numbers in parentheses correspond to the numbers shown on the parts illustration

 

and parts list in Section 6 labeled 1860 and 4860 Meter-Register.

The B size measuring chamber (5) can be removed for cleaning by taking out four meter body screws (2), lifting off register assembly (14) and removing three measuring chamber screws (4).

After separating and cleaning top and bottom half, reassemble, making sure baffle is seated in grooves in top and bottom halves and through slot in measuring disc (7). Do not drop or sharply strike chamber parts while handling. Rotate disc to make sure it turns freely and replace in meter body. Do not overtighten screws (4). A torque of 20-25 ft-lbs is sufficient. When reassembling register to meter body, use a new O-ring (3).

For calibration procedure, see Meter Calibration in Section 4.
