SUMMIT PUMP MODEL 2196 / 2196-LF / 2196-R / 2796 13
Model 2196R Feeler Gauge Technique
TO USE THE FEELER GAUGE TECHNIQUE FOR IMPELLER CLEARANCE SETTING
FOR MODEL 2196-R
1. Lock out power to the pump driver.
2. Remove the coupling guard.
3. Remove coupling.
4. Loosen bearing housing bolts (370C) several turns.
5. Loosen jam nuts (423) and turn jackbolts (370D) evenly around several turns until
impeller contacts stuffing box cover (184). Turn shaft to ensure contact is
complete.
6. Use feeler gauge to measure the gap between the bearing frame (228) and the
bearing housing (134). Reduce the measurement by .060” and place the resulting
feeler gauge thickness between the bearing housing (134) and the bearing frame
(228).
7. Loosen the jacking bolts (370D) several turns. Tighten the locking bolts (370C) to
move the impeller away from the stuffing box cover (184) until the bearing
housing (134) snugs up the feeler gauge between the bearing housing (184) and
the bearing frame (228).
8. Turn jacking bolts (370D) in and tighten jam nuts (423) evenly, rotating the shaft
to make sure the assembly turns freely.
9. Reinstall the drive coupling.
10. Reinstall the coupling guard.
11. Unlock power to the pump driver.
