Refer to Figures 13, 14, and 15 to locate the pump parts
by item number and parts list.
A. PREPARATIONS FOR DISASSEMBLY OF PUMP.
During disassembly, match mark parts so they can be
replaced in their original position. All parts should be
thoroughly cleaned or replaced with new, if necessary.
Sealing faces should be perfectly clean.
Factory authorized parts must be used to
safely maintain your Carver Pump.
To avoid damage to O-rings, check to make
sure all parts are free of sharp edges or burrs.
Parts marked with * are options or vary by
pump or bearing frame size.
O-rings, ball bearings,
isolators, mechanical seals and gaskets if
disturbed from position should be replaced.
Close suction and/or discharge valves. The pump
should be cooled down to ambient temperature. The
casings must be empty and not under pressure.
After prolonged operation, components may not be
easily removed from shaft. In such instances, rust
solvent may be used and suitable extracting tools
applied wherever possible. DO NOT use force under
any circumstances. Refer to Table 15, Recommended
Equipment, for proper tooling during disassembly and
assembly. Refer to appropriate sectional drawing for
location of parts followed by an item number.
Prepare the pumping unit for disassembly using the
following list:
1. Read this entire
applicable sectional view drawing and parts list

extreme care must be taken to ensure safety of
personnel when attempting to drain pump and
piping before disconnecting the pumping unit.
Suitable protection devices should be used
and/or protective clothing should be worn.
