IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
When servicing electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be observed including the following. Failure to follow instructions may result in
injury.
• WARNING – To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
• Disconnect all electrical power service to pump before beginning shaft seal replacement.
• Only qualified personnel should attempt rotary seal replacement. Contact your local authorized Hayward Dealer or service center if you have any questions.
Exercise extreme care in handling both the rotating and the stationary sections of the two-part replacement seal. Foreign matter or improper handling will easily
scratch the graphite and ceramic sealing surfaces.
Removing the Motor Assembly
1. Remove the four (4) 3/8” x 2” hex head bolts, which hold the motor assembly to the pump/strainer housing, using a 9/16” wrench or socket.
2. Slide the motor assembly out of the pump/strainer housing, exposing the diffuser. Pull the diffuser off of the seal plate to expose the impeller.
Removing the Impeller
3. To prevent the motor shaft from turning, remove the wiring compartment cover, and secure the shaft using a 5/16” hex wrench. Remove the impeller by
rotating counterclockwise.
Removing the Ceramic Seat
4. Remove the spring seal assembly from the impeller and remove the seal plate from the motor.
5. Press the ceramic seat with rubber cup out of the seal plate. If tight, use a small screwdriver to tap seal out.
STOP - Clean all recesses & parts to be reassembled. Inspect gaskets & replace if necessary.
Seal Installation
6. Clean and lightly lubricate the motor shaft and seal recesses in the seal plate with a dilute solution of non-granulated liquid-type soap. Gently wipe the
polished face of the ceramic seal with a soft cotton cloth. Lubricate the rubber cup on the ceramic seat and press it firmly into the recess of the seal plate,
with the polished ceramic surface facing out.
7. Reassemble the motor to the seal plate.
8. Gently wipe the black polished surface of the spring seal assembly with a soft cotton cloth.
9. Press the spring seal assembly onto the impeller shaft, with the black polished surface facing the ceramic seat.
Replacing the Impeller and Diffuser
11. Screw the impeller onto the motor shaft in a clockwise direction. Tighten snugly by holding motor shaft with wrench as noted in step #3. Replace the wiring
compartment cover
12. Place the diffuser over the impeller onto the seal plate
Replacing the Motor Assembly
14. Slide the motor assembly, with the diffuser in place, into pump/strainer housing, being careful not to disturb the diffuser gasket.
15. Fasten assembly to pump/strainer housing using the four (4) 3/8” x 2” bolts. (Be sure housing gasket is in place, and lubricated. Replace if damaged).
Tighten bolts alternately and evenly to 80 inch-pounds. Looking at the back of the pump, start with the top right, move diagonal to the bottom left, then up
to the top left and last across to the bottom right.
