Pumps Without Motors
1. Remove the pump, drive magnet assembly and hard-
ware package from the carton.
CAUTION: Keep away from metallic particles, tools
and electronics. Drive magnets MUST be free of metal
chips.
WARNING
: Keep the drive magnet away from the
open end of the motor adapter and barrier. Strong mag-
netic attraction could allow the drive hub to enter the
motor adapter resulting in injury or damage.
2. Place motor on the fan end. See figure 1.
NOTE: For 56C/145TC frame motors go to step 4.
Figure 1
3. For Metric motors install the motor adapter flange
(item18) on the motor face using bolts, lock washers
and flat washers (items 31,32 & 33). See figure 2.
Torque bolts to the following:
• 63 frame (M4) = 30 in-lb (3.4 N-m)
• 71 frame (M5) = 90 in-lb (10.2 N-m)
• 80 frame (M6) = 90 in-lb (10.2 N-m)
NOTE: 63/71 B14 adapter flange is reversible. Install
63/71 B14 adapter so that proper motor flange size is
facing motor.
NOTE: Apply anti-seize compound on the threads of
the bolts.
4. Coat the motor shaft with anti-seize compound. Insert
the key supplied with the motor into the keway on the
motor shaft. See figure 3.
Note: Make sure the motor shaft is clean & free of
burrs. The outer drive is precision machined and has a
