7.7 Notes on assembly
Use original spare parts. See also Chapter 2.4.
Do not use defective parts. 
Has the pump been shut down, drained and 
flushed in accordance with the regulations? 
See also Chapter 6.3.
Apply Anti-Seize special assembly paste (e.g. from 
Weicon) to the fitting surfaces (not any stainless 
steel surfaces) and screw thread prior to 
assembly. 
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. 
We recommend that the housing gasket 401 and 
the shaft sleeve 523/1 be replaced during every 
new assembly. 
Always replace the circlip 932/7.
Remove metallic particles adhering to magnetic 
components such as the inner magnet assembly 
859 and the drive magnet assembly 858 prior to 
assembly. 
For this purpose simple plasticene can be used.. 
A complete assembly process is described in the 
following. 
Sub-sections can be deduced from this. 
See also Chapter 7.5.
The following assembly dimensions must be 
observed: 
Dimension F
[inch] [mm]
Group 1
3.93
100
Group 2
4.33
110
Groups see Chapter 1.
Dimension F 
End face of drive magnet assembly to contact surface 
of adapter. 
For safe assembly, it is advisable to check the 
dimension F and the radial runout tolerance of 0.2 
mm using a dial gauge.

7.7.1 Table for target dimension Z
The plain bearings require a minimum axial play for 
perfect functioning. This axial play "Z" must be 
checked using the drawing Fig. 7 after completion of 
assembly.
