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 1, 2 and 3) and the
accompanying parts lists.
Before attempting to service the pump, switch off
the engine ignition and remove the key or take oth-
er precautions to ensure that it will remain inopera-
tive. Close all valves in the suction and discharge
lines.
For engine disassembly and repair, consult the lit-
erature supplied with the engine, or contact your
local Deutz engine representative.
Before attempting to open or servicthe
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man-
ual.
2. Switch off the engine ignition and
disconnect the positive battery
cable. Take other precautions to
ensure that the pump will remain
inoperative.
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.
Suction Check Valve Removal
(Figure 2)
Before attempting to service the pump, remove the
pump casing drain plug (42) and drain the pump.
Clean and reinstall the drain plug.
For access to the check valve, remove the suction
piping. Remove the nuts (46) and separate the
suction flange and gasket (43 and 44) from the
pump casing (1). Replace the suction flange gas-
ket as required.
Disengage the machine screws (48) and pull the
check valve seat (55), gasket (56) and check valve
assembly (49) from the suction port.
Inspect the check valve parts for wear or damage.
If replacement is required, remove the hardware
(50 and 51) and separate the check valve gasket
(53) and weights (52 and 54).
Pump Casing and Wear Plate Removal
(Figure 2)
To service the impeller (2), seal assembly (3) or the
seal plate (36), the pump casing must be sepa-
rated from the base (46, Figure 1) and intermediate
(21). See Figure 1 and remove the hardware (47,
48, 49 and 50) securing the pump casing (1) to the
base.
Support the pump casing using a suitable hoist
and sling, and disengage the hardware (35) secur-
ing the pump casing to the seal plate (36) and inter-
mediate (21). Separate the pump casing and gas-
ket set (37) from the seal plate and the intermedi-
ate.Replace the gasket set as required.
To ease reassembly, tie and tag any leveling shims
used under the pump casing mounting feet.
Use lifting and moving equipment in
good repair and with adequate capacity
to prevent injuries to personnel or dam-
age to equipment. The bail is intended
for use in lifting the pump assembly
only. Suction and discharge hoses and
piping must be removed from the pump
before lifting.
