, the inner magnet
assembly
859
and on the pump shaft
211
must
not be greased as otherwise no optimum glued
connection is possible.
Install plain bearings in pairs as supplied or
stored.
Check whether all parts fit and only then
assemble.
Important dimensions (centerings, bearing fits or
bearing play) are to be checked prior to assembly;
perform a trial assembly if required.
It is recommended to replace the housing gasket
401
during assembly.
Many metallic particles adhering to magnetic
components such as the inner magnet assembly
859
and drive magnet assembly
