3. Installation Instructions
These are general guidelines. Always refer to the specific service manual for your Garland or US Range equipment for precise, model-specific instructions.
- Preparation:
- Ensure the equipment is powered off and disconnected from all utilities.
- Allow the equipment to cool down if it has been in operation.
- Clear the work area and gather necessary tools (e.g., screwdrivers, wrenches, seal removal tools).
- Access the Shaft:
- Carefully disassemble the equipment components to gain access to the shaft requiring the seal replacement. Document the disassembly process, possibly with photos, to aid reassembly.
- Remove Old Seals:
- Gently remove the old shaft seals and O-rings. Inspect the shaft and surrounding areas for any damage, corrosion, or debris. Clean the area thoroughly.
- Install New Seals:
- Apply a thin, even coat of the provided lubricant to the new seals and O-rings. This aids in installation and prevents damage.
- Carefully position and install the new seals onto the shaft, ensuring they are seated correctly and not twisted or pinched.
- Install any accompanying O-rings in their designated grooves.
- Reassembly:
- Reassemble the equipment components in reverse order of disassembly. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
4. Post-Installation Check
After installation, perform the following checks before returning the equipment to full operation:
- Visual Inspection: Ensure all components are correctly reassembled and there are no visible gaps or misalignments.
- Power On: Reconnect power and carefully observe the equipment during initial operation.
- Leak Check: Monitor for any signs of leaks around the newly installed seals.
- Functionality Test: Operate the equipment through its normal cycles to confirm proper function and absence of unusual noises or vibrations.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance extends the life of your equipment and its components, including shaft seals.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect seals for signs of wear, cracking, hardening, or leakage.
- Cleanliness: Keep the area around seals clean and free from debris or corrosive substances.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh cleaning agents that could degrade seal materials.
- Timely Replacement: Replace seals at the first sign of failure or as recommended by the equipment manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing the shaft seal kit, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Leakage around new seal | Improper installation, damaged seal during installation, incorrect seal type, shaft surface damage. | Re-inspect installation, replace seal if damaged, verify correct part number, inspect shaft for imperfections. |
| Unusual noise/vibration | Seal binding, improper component alignment, incorrect lubricant. | Check seal seating, verify component alignment, ensure correct lubricant was used. |
| Premature seal wear | Excessive heat, abrasive contaminants, improper shaft finish, chemical incompatibility. | Address operating conditions, ensure proper cleaning, inspect shaft, verify seal material compatibility. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Garland customer support or a qualified service technician.
