Maintenance Tips
-
Ensure Compatibility: Confirm the seal kit matches your pump's shaft size (1-1/8") and model.
-
Clean Installation Area: Remove any debris from the shaft and sealing surfaces before installation to prevent damage to the new seal.
-
Lubricate Components: Use the provided grease to lubricate the shaft sleeve, seals, and other moving parts during installation to reduce friction.
-
Inspect Regularly: Check the seals periodically for wear, leaks, or any signs of failure, and replace them as necessary.
-
Maintain Proper Operating Conditions: Ensure the pump operates within the recommended temperature and pressure ranges to prolong the life of the seal.
-
Handle with Care: Be gentle when handling the seal and related components to avoid damaging the seal faces or O-rings.
