CAUTION
Very Important! To prevent damage to the seal,
grasp the lower portion of the seal (opposite the
carbon face) when installing it.
NOTE To assist assembly, use only water or soapy
water as a lubricant. Any other lubricant will
destroy the seal after a short period of time.
NOTE Be sure to keep the seal and mating parts
clean.

2.
While holding the motor shaft with a ¼" hex allen
wrench, thread the impeller onto the motor shaft.
Hand-tighten the impeller until it is secure. Do not
overtighten.
3.
Replace the fan cover by replacing the screws.
4.
Replace the diffuser over the impeller, using care
to insert alignment pins into the correct holes. The
molded-in arrow must point toward the handle of
the backplate.
5.
Replace the two (2) small Phillips-head screws.
Tighten the screws to draw the diffuser against the
motor backplate.
6.
To help prevent an airleak into the system, make
sure the
diffuser
o-ring, o-ring groove, and
o-ring seal area are clean and free of debris. If
you removed the diffuser o-ring,
install it into the groove you removed it from. (See
Figure 13.)
If grease is used to retain the o-ring,
it must be silicone based. Do not use petroleum-
based grease. It will destroy the o-ring.
7.
Slide the diffuser into the mating hole in the
pump body. While supporting the motor, start two
(2) screws on opposite sides. (This will hold the
motor in position while you start the other six (6)
screws.)
