Back the impeller [2200] off the cover [1220] by 
rotating the adjusting sleeve [3400] 
counterclockwise so that the next slot lines up 
with one of the shaft keyways: 
e)
For GP1 and 2 Pumps, continue to rotate the 
sleeve [3400] in the same direction for an 
additional four or five combinations of shaft 
keyway/sleeve slots (22.5 degrees each - the 
keyway that lines up will alternate as the sleeve 
[3400] is turned). 
For GP3 Pumps continue to rotate the sleeve 
[3400] in the same direction for another five or 
six combinations of shaft keyway/sleeve slots 
(22.5 degrees each - the keyway that lines up 
will alternate as the sleeve [3400] is turned) 
f)
Install the impeller adjustment key [6700.3) and 
retaining ring [2530.2] back into position. 
g)
Check for freedom of shaft [2100] rotation by 
turning by hand. 
As the reverse vane and Recessed Impellers
are set from the read cover, these settings can be made 
in the shop. If setting is being performed in the shop, 
less casing, it is advisable to leave out the impeller 
gasket [4590.2] during impeller setting. This will ensure 
that the impeller is fully seated and will not tighten 
further in operation. The impeller gasket must be 
installed before the casing is installed.

a) 
Rotate the shaft [2100] so that the impeller 
adjustment key [6700.3] is toward you. 
b)
Remove the retaining ring [2530.2] and key 
[6700.3] from the adjusting sleeve [3400]. 
c)
Holding the shaft [2100] steady, turn the 
adjusting sleeve [3400] counterclockwise until 
the impeller [2200] is resting against the running 
face of the casing [1100]. 
d)
Back the impeller [2200] off the casing [1100] by 
rotating the adjusting sleeve [3400] clockwise so 
that the next slot lines up with one of the shaft 
keyways: 
e)
For GP1 and 2 Pumps, continue to rotate the

Close all valves on auxiliary equipment and 
piping then disconnect all auxiliary piping. 
e)
Disconnect discharge piping from pump.
f)
Remove coupling guard [7450.1-.2] and coupling 
halves [7200]. 
g)
Disconnect driver [8000] and remove.
h)
Unbolt pump mounting plate [6130] and lift pump

6.7.2 Pump disassembly 
a) 
Pump discharge pipe removal
•
Discharge pipes four inches and less: 
Unscrew the flange [1245.2], locknut [3400], and 
loosen the lower locknut. Then the upper 
discharge pipe [1360] can be unscrewed. 
Discharge pipes greater than four inches: 
Unscrew the flange [1245.2]. These pumps are 
furnished with the discharge pipe bolted to the 
mounting plate [6130] by a flange [1245.3] and 
four screws [6570.11]. Remove the screws 
holding the flange to the mounting plate [6130]. 
•
The discharge pipe [1360] can then be removed 
by unbolting the elbow [1371] from the discharge 
of the casing [1100) and pulling the discharge 
pipe out from the underside of the mounting plate 
[6130].
