STEP TWO - INSPECT ● Inspect the overall condition of the pump/motor. ● Inspect the back plate. Is the bore clean and in good shape? ● Inspect the impeller. ● Inspect the shaft. Be sure it is not bent. ● Inspect the bearings. Are they secure and running true? ● Inspect the replacement seal. Check for cracks or damage occurred during shipping. STEP THREE - CLEAN ● Clean all parts to preare them for the installation of the new seal. ● Clean your work area. STEP FOUR - PREPARE ● Prepare your work area. ● Assemble together tools needed for the installation process. ● Don't forget the U.S SEALUBE! ● Finally, wash your hands, or ideally, use latex gloves. Any residual Silicone or PTFE lubricant remaining on your hands will DESTROY the seal. STEP FIVE - INSTALLATION 1. Apply a generous amount of U.S SEALUBE to the rubber parts of the seal. 2. Install the rotating portion and the mating ring. 3. Clean both sealing surfaces BEFORE you re-assemble the pump. Use isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth, or alcohol prep pads and clean the faces. It can't be stressed enough that the extra moments spent doing this could save you a repair in the next few months. 4. Re-assemble the pump. 5. Turn the shaft by hand a few rotations, or bump the motor to check the seal for squeals or other unwanted noises. 6. Connect the pump and motor to the system. 7. Flood the strainer with water and start the pump. NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY - this damages or even destroys the seal.
