CAUTION
Ensure that the electrical power cannot be accidentally applied to the motor while the casing
is disassembled.

Remove both self-tapping screws (22) holding the front half of the casing to the outlet adapter.

E.
Pull the Impeller from the shaft. DO NOT REMOVE THE STUD OR LOCK NUT AT THE CENTER OF THE
IMPELLER.
F.
Inspect the Impeller and replace If necessary.
G.
Clean any burrs from the shaft caused by the setscrews If necessary, use an emery cloth to restore a smooth
surface.
H.
Apply an antiseize compound to the Impeller hub bore and the shaft.
I.
Place the motor shaft keyway at the 12 o’clock position and insert the key.
J.
After ensuring that the impeller hub keyway is aligned with the key on the motor shaft, slide the impeller on the
shaft.
K.
Replace the front half of the casing and tighten all casing hex head bolts (14).
