Impeller shim adjustment ZUG OC DRY
- The impeller washer adjustment system consists of adjustment screw, adjustment screw lock nut and intake flange lock unit.
- These components allow the axial displacement of the suction flange to obtain the correct shim adjustment of the impeller and to lock the system in position to ensure constant performance over time.

- Holding the adjustment screw, undo the suction flange lock screw
- Then tighten the adjustment screw for about 1/4 turn
- Finally, tighten the lock screw of the suction flange completely
- Repeat the operations in sequence on each anchoring
- Check that the impeller is free by turning it manually
- Check with a thickness gauge that the shim between blade and flange is max. 0.5 mm
- Perform the test on both the upper and lower part of the blade
- If the shim is not correct, repeat the operations by tightening the adjusting screws by about 1/4 turn at a time until the optimum value is reached
- Pour a few drops of Loctite 243 (or equivalent) on the adjustment screw

- Holding the adjustment screw still, remove the anchoring screw of the intake flange
- Apply a few drops of Loctite 243 threadlocker (or equivalent) to the intake flange lock screw
