(9)
Holding the end ring (3) down, install retaining ring (1), release pressure. Inspect retaining ring being
certain it is completely seated in its groove.
(10)
Install pipe plugs in end ring with air outlets - static test - check for audible air leaks and with a soap
solution to be certain no o-rings have been cut or carbon seal damaged. A moderate leakage may be
expected until carbons seals have seated against end rings during operation.
(11)
Align key slots in end rings with slots in shaft. Install keys (13), screws (11) and lockwashers (12).

alternately.
(2)
Lift off pressure plate (3) and remove spacers (4) and adjustment spacers (5).
(3)
Remove shoulder bolts (6), washers (7) and springs (8).
(4)

pins (20) if replacement is necessary.
b.
Inspection and Repair.
(1)
The outer and inner torque plates (9 and 17) should be replaced if friction plate is excessively worn.
(2)
Closely inspect diaphragm (12) for cracks, breaks or holes. Replace if any flaws are found.

c.
Assembly.
(1)
Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly to inner and outer seals (10 and 11) and install them in grooves of
outer torque plate (9).
(2)
