Component Definition and Maintenance Chapter 3
If vertical, the impeller and bushing may fall when loosening cap screws. Physical
injury or component damage may result.
Figure 73 - Impeller Removal
1. Record the distance from the end of the motor shaft to the bushing. The
new impeller must be installed in the same location. Failure to do so will
result in gaps between the impeller and the intake ring resulting in loss of
air flow, or rubbing of the impeller against the inlet ring or motor assembly
during operation.
2. Remove both cap screws from the bushing. The impeller or bushing may
fall as screws are loosened.
3. Thread the cap screws by hand into the two threaded holes in the bushing
flange.
4. Tighten each bolt part of a turn successively, to push the impeller off the
bushing. Screwing down the cap screws into these holes will force the
bushing away from the impeller hub, releasing the compression on the
shaft. Be careful that the impeller does not fall as the clamping force is
released.
5. Pull the bushing off the shaft and remove the impeller. If the assembly has
been in place for some time, it may be necessary to use a wheel puller to
remove the bushing. Never use a wheel puller on the impeller.
ATTENTION: Do not lubricate capscrews, bore, or bushing barrel, as this
will hinder clamping force of the bushing on the shaft and the impeller
bore.
