1. Lightly lubricate the new O-rings and rubber parts of the seal with clean water or a compatible, non-petroleum-based lubricant. Do not use grease or oil unless specified by Grundfos.
2. Carefully install the stationary part of the seal into the pump housing. Ensure it is seated correctly and evenly. Avoid applying force directly to the sealing face.
3. Slide the rotating part of the seal onto the pump shaft. Ensure the sealing faces are clean and free of fingerprints or debris.
4. Assemble the remaining pump components, ensuring proper alignment and seating of all parts.
5. Tighten all fasteners to the torque specifications provided in the main pump manual.

4.5. Ittestjar

1. Slowly reintroduce fluid into the pump system, checking for any immediate leaks.
2. Restore electrical power to the pump.
3. Start the pump and monitor for leaks, unusual noises, or vibrations. Allow the pump to run for a short period to ensure the seal seats properly.

5. Manutenzjoni

The shaft seal is a wear component and requires periodic inspection and replacement. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected downtime and costly repairs.

• Spezzjoni regolari: Periodically inspect the area around the shaft seal for signs of leakage (drips, residue) or unusual noise.
• Skeda ta' Sostituzzjoni: Replace the shaft seal kit if any signs of failure are observed, such as persistent leakage, or as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program for your Grundfos VersaFlo Pump.
• Indafa: Maintain a clean operating environment to prevent foreign particles from entering the seal area.
