SEAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Disassemble pump cavity to expose existing seal.


Removal of old seal and assembly of new seal
requires careful operations and precautions.
CAUTION: Lapped and polished faces of new seals
are easily scratched and damaged. PROTECT FROM
DAMAGE, DIRT, AND FINGERPRINTS.
2. Carefully remove old seal head and seat (note where
and how it was installed) taking care not to scratch
shaft or seat counterbore.
3. Clean shaft and counterbore surfaces using fine
emery cloth or equivalent. Remove rust, burrs and
wipe clean.
4. Before installing the new seal be sure to check seal
surfaces to insure they are free of any dirt, grit or
lubricants. An alcohol wipe may be used to clean the
seal face before final installation.
5. Press seal seat firmly into counterbore, be sure it
is bottomed square. SLIDE SEAL HEAD ALONG
SHAFT MAKING SURE THE SPRING IS CORRECTLY
ENGAGED INTO SEAL.

operation of a pump includes making a correct seal
installation.
