with a non-oil based solvent and a clean, lint-free
tissue. Wipe lightly in a circular pattern to avoid
scratching the faces.
Inspect the seal components for wear, scoring,
grooves, and other damage that might cause leak-
age. If any components are worn, replace the com-
plete seal; never mix old and new seal parts.
Install the shaft seal as illustrated in Figure E-2.

Figure E-2. Seal Assembly
This seal is not designed for operation at
temperatures above 120
_ F (49_ C). Do not
use at higher operating temperatures.
Do not unwrap a new seal assembly until time of
installation. Cleanliness of seal components is criti-
cal, especially the seal faces.
Carefully remove the material stuffed into the seat
bore (or unwrap the shaft). Be sure no debris
stopped by the material falls into the pump casing.
NOTE
When pressing seal components onto the shaft,
use hand pressure only. A push tube cut from a
length of plastic pipe will aid in installing seal com-
ponents. The I.D. of the push tube should be ap-
proximately the same as the I.D. of the seal spring.
Unpack the upper stationary seat and element.
Place a clean tissue over the sealing face of the sta-
tionary element and subassemble the stationary
element into the stationary seat.
Apply a light coating of oil to the seal seat bore in
the motor housing (10). Position the stationary
subassembly in the motor housing bore with the
sealing face up and cover the seal face with a clean
tissue. Use your thumbs to press the assembly into
the bore. Apply equal pressure on opposite sides
until the seat contacts the bore shoulder. Remove
the tissue and inspect the seal face to ensure that it
is clean and dry. If cleaning is necessary, use clean
tissue to wipe lightly in a concentric pattern. After
cleaning, apply a drop light oil to the seal face.
