MAINTENANCE & REPAIR PAGE E − 9
For maximum pump efficiency, the impeller should
be centered within the volute scroll. Use the casing
gaskets (10) and the impeller shims (4) to center
the impeller as described below.
To verify the impeller positioning, measure the
pump casing and impeller as shown in Figure 4.
Use these measurements to calculate the required
impeller location (dimension E). Add or remove im-
peller adjusting shims until dimension E is ob-
tained.

ware (9).
