5.1 For proper seal installation, you must obtain the correct seal assembly drawing for
your application.
5.2 Inspect pump shaft. Clean and remove any burrs, nicks, scratches, etc., which could

gaskets are installed. It may be necessary to lubricate the shaft with grease to prevent
damage to sleeve gasket during installation.

chamber. Take care not to impact the seal cartridge as damage to internal compo-
nents can occur.

5.5 Evenly torque gland bolts/nuts to prevent uneven gland pressure against the seal
chamber.
