6.10.4 Impeller assembly and setting 
 
6.10.4.1 
Impeller assembly and setting
a) Fit a new O-ring [4610.1] into the impeller [2200]
using a small amount of grease to hold it in place. 
Apply anti-galling compound (which does not 
contain copper) to the impeller thread to help 
subsequent removal. 
b) Assemble impeller onto the shaft. 
c) Tighten the impeller. Use the same method as in 
disassembly but rotating in opposite direction. A 
few sharp strikes will tighten it to the correct level. 
 
6.10.4.2 
Impeller assembly with key drive impeller
a) Fit a new impeller sealing gasket [4590.4] against
shaft shoulder.
b) Fit impeller key [6700.2]. 
c) Assemble impeller onto the shaft. 
d) Fit a new O-ring [4610.5] into the impeller nut 
[2912.1/2912.2] groove.
e) Apply anti-galling compound (which does not
contain copper) to the impeller nut threads to help 
any subsequent removal. 
f) Fit impeller nut onto the shaft [2100] and torque
up.
 
6.10.5 Assembly of bearing housing into casing 
a) Fit a new gasket [4590] into the casing [1100]. 
On the CPXR a new gasket is required
each side of the distance ring [2510.2].
b) Install the bearing housing assembly into the
pump casing. Coat the screws [6570.1] with anti-
galling compound and tighten into casing. 
c) Check impeller front clearance against original
setting or process requirement and adjust as 
necessary. (See section 6.7, Setting impeller 
clearance.) 
d) Ensure that all other items have been re-attached
and all fasteners tightened, then follow the 
instructions in the sections on Installation and 
Commissioning.
