Pump and Impeller
Impeller O utside Diameter Measurement
Measure the impeller outside diameter.
If the impeller is worn smaller than the service limit, re-
place it.
Impell er Outside Diameter
Standard: 147.5 147.7 mm (5.8071 5.8149 in.)
Service Limit: 146.5 mm (5.7677 in.)
Pump Inspection
Examine the pump case [A].
If there are deep scratches inside the pump case, replace
it.
Measure the inside diameter of the pump case.
If the pump case is worn beyond the service limit, replace
it.

Standard: 148.0 148.1 mm (5.8268 5.8307 in.)
Service Limit: 149.1 mm (5.8701 in.)
Impeller Clearance
Impeller clearance is critical to proper performance. If the
pump case and impeller are not visibly damaged, poor
performance may be caused by too much impeller clear-
ance.
To check impeller clearance, remove the grate and insert
a feeler gauge [A] between the tip of the impeller blade
[B] and the pump case [C].
Impeller Clearance
Standard: 0.15 0.3 mm (0.0059 0.0118 in.)
Service Limit: 0.6 mm (0.0236 in.)
If impeller clearance is incorrect, determine if it is due to
wear or damage (see Pump and Impeller Inspection).
