! WARNING
Unexpected Startup Hazard
Disconnect and lockout power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in seri-
ous personal injury or death, or property damage.
NOTE: Do not spread the inner and outer guards more
than necessary for guard removal or installation.
Overspreading the guards may alter their fit and
appearance.
Removal
1. Remove the two capscrews that hold the outer
(motor side) coupler guard to the support
bracket(s).
2. Spread the outer guard and pull it off the inner
guard.
3. Remove the capscrew that holds the inner guard
to the support bracket.
4. Spread the inner guard and pull it over the
coupler.
Installation
1. Check coupler alignment before proceeding.
Correct if necessary.
2. Spread the inner guard and place it over the
coupler.
3. With the inner guard straddling the support
bracket, install a capscrew through the hole (or
slot) in the support bracket and guard located
closest to the pump. Do not tighten the
capscrew.
4. Spread the outer guard and place it over the
inner guard.
5. Install the outer guard capscrews as required for
your pump.
a. For pumps with a motor saddle support
bracket: Ensure the outer guard is straddling
the support arm, and install but do not tighten
the two remaining capscrews.
b. For pumps without a motor saddle support
bracket: Insert the spacer washer between the
holes located closest to the motor in the outer
guard, and install, but do not tighten, the two
remaining capscrews.
6. Position the outer guard so it is centered around
the shaft, and so there is less than a 1/4 inch of
the motor shaft exposed. On guards that utilize a
slotted support bracket, the inner guard will
have to be positioned so there is only a 1/4 inch
of the pump shaft exposed.
7. Holding the guard in this position, tighten the
three capscrews.
