MAINTENANCE & REPAIR PAGE E - 17
Reach through the back cover opening with the as­
sembled check valve, and position the check valve
adaptor in the mounting slot in the check valve
seat. Align the adaptor with the seat hole, and se­
cure the assembly with the check valve pin (74).
Replace the suction flange gasket (67). Secure the
suction flange (70) to the check valve seat and
pump casing with the hardware (68 and 69).
Back Cover Installation
(Figure 3)
If the wear plate (51) was removed for replace­
ment, carefully center it on the back cover and se­
cure it with the hardware (52 and 53). The wear
plate must be concentric to prevent binding when
the back cover is installed.
Clean any scale or debris from the contacting sur­
faces in the pump casing that might interfere or
prevent a good seal with the back cover. Replace
the back cover gasket (55) and slide the back
cover assembly into the pump casing. Be sure the
wear plate does not bind against the impeller.
NOTE
To ease future disassembly, apply a film of grease
or `Never‐Seez' on the back cover shoulder, or any
surface which contacts the pump casing. This ac­
tion will reduce rust and scale build‐up.
Secure the back cover assembly by tightening the
cover clamp screw (61) against the clamp bar (62).
Do not over‐tighten the clamp screw; it should be
just tight enough to ensure a good seal at the back
cover shoulder.
Final Pump Assembly
(Figure 3)
Install any leveling shims used under the pump
casing mounting feet and secure the casing (1) to
the base with the previously removed hardware.
Be sure the pump is secured to the base and en­
gine.
Install the suction and discharge lines and open all
valves. Make certain that all piping connections are
tight, properly supported and secure.
Be sure the pump end and engine have been
properly lubricated, see LUBRICATION.
Remove the fill cover assembly (23). Fill the pump
casing with clean liquid. Reinstall the fill cover plate
and gasket (27), and tighten the cover.
Refer to OPERATION, Section C, and start the
pump.
LUBRICATION
Seal Assembly
(Figure 3)
Fill the grease cup (17) through the grease fitting
with No. 2 lithium base grease until grease es­
capes from the relief hole. Turn the grease cup arm
counterclockwise until it is at the top of the stem;
this will release the spring to apply grease to the
seal (see Figure 7).
