Rotor Assembly Installation
1. Lightly lubricate the rotor O-ring inside diameter with the silicone grease provided with
the BGM
Dura Seal
.
2. Break the sharp edges of shaft keyways or grooves using a file, emery cloth, etc., to
protect the O-ring from being cut or nicked.
3. Use silicone grease to lightly lubricate the shaft that the BGM rotor has to slide over.

4. Gently slide the rotor along the shaft so that the rotor face seats against the stator face.
Make certain the silicone lubricant does not get on the seal face.
5. Use light finger pressure to ensure the seal faces are making contact.
6. Hold the shaft stationary and rotate the rotor a minimum of one revolution to evenly spread
out the silicone grease.
