MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
HSAB / HSNB SIDE ENTRY MIXERS
INITIAL INSPECTION
Care should be exercised in uncrating and handling. Miscellaneous parts (turbine
hubs, turbine blades, propellers, fasteners,coupling hubs, etc.) may be boxed
separately and attached to the crate or may be wired or bolted to the crate. DO
NOT DISCARD PACKAGING without carefully making sure that all mixer parts
have been removed. The unit should be inspected carefully and any shipping
damage should be reported to Hayward Gordon Limited. A claim should be filed
immediately with the carrier involved.
Damage resulting from improper handling can affect the operation and life of your
Hayward Gordon Mixer. Particular care should be taken to prevent bending the
shaft, which has been straightened within 0.003" TIR . Never lift or support the
unit by the end of the shaft.
STORAGE
GENERAL
For storage of the mixer, do not remove the protective coating. Add additional
protective coating as may be required for the condition and period of storage.
Store the unit in a clean, dry locationwhich is free from wide variations in
temperature.
If an indoor area is not available with temperature and humidity control, the next
best option, is indoors without these controls.
In this case, wrap the motor in plastic with desiccant bags inside and replace the
desiccant bags monthly. Outdoor storage is not recommended. If outdoor storage
is unavoidable, keep all of the mixer components off the ground on skids or
platforms and cover the equipment with a waterproof covering while still allowing
good air circulation. Independent of storage location, the mixer shaft should be
rotated by hand every 2 weeks with grease added to both bearings every 3
months.
MOTORS
Variations in temperature, combined with a moist atmosphere result in
condensation both inside and outside of the motor. When storage is necessary,
select a clean, dry location which is not subject to rapid or wide variations in
temperature and vibration free. Air should be permitted to circulate freely through
the storage area. Rotate the motor shaft several revolutions every 3 weeks to
redistribute grease in the bearings and re-lubricate bearings at six month
intervals. Storage of motors outdoors is not recommended.
Before putting into service, after sitting outside for a considerable period of time, the
winding insulation resistance should be tested and if this reading is below one mega-ohm,
move to a warm dry place and leave until the insulation resistance rises.

HSAB / HSNB SIDE ENTRY MIXERS
STORAGE
Belt drive units should be stored in a clean, dry location free from direct light. The
shelf life of standard belts vary; but they should be replaced before placing the
unit in operation if stored for longer than 4 months.
SEALS
Double mechanical seal housings and lubricators are shipped from the factory
sparayed internally with rust preventative/lubricant which is compatible with the
sealing fluid to be used. Where water is to be used as a seal lubricant, it is
recommended that seal housings and lubricators be of stainless steel. If steel has
been specified the seal housings and lubricators should be filled with an ethylene
glycol/rust preventative solution, prior to storage or operation.
SHAFTS and IMPELLERS
The shaft in your Hayward Gordon mixer was straightened at the factory to within
a few thousandths of an inch. Care should be taken in storage to see that the
shaft is fully supported along its length and to ensure heavy items are not placed
on un-suppported sections of the shaft.
For outdoor storage of carbon steel shafts and impellers, a suitable grease or rust
preventative should be applied.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
GENERAL
Proper installation and operation is the key to long trouble free mixer service. The
following is a list of points to cover.
1. Check for proper rotation of shaft before permanently wiring the motor.
2. Read all tags, nameplates and this manual prior to start-up.
3. Check operating full load motor amperage against motor nameplate.
4. Do not operate in a fluid other than the specific gravity and viscosity it was
designed for.
5. Do not start-up unit with the impeller buried in solids or in a "set up" fluid.
6. Maintain operating temperatures and pressures of vessel within design
limitations for stuffing box and mechanical seal units.
7. A minimum 4" radial clearance is required between the tank internals and the
mixer wetted parts.
8. NOTIFY Hayward Gordon Ltd. prior to any modifications made.

MIXER ASSEMBLY
All units are completely assembled except for the following items:
1. Tie rods or pipe supports.
2. For bolted blade impellers, bolt blades to the hub ears using hardware
supplied and torque values as shown in Appendix (Impeller location). Impellers
turning at speeds higher than 100 rpm are statically balanced.
Both stuffing box and mechanical seal units mount directly to the vessel nozzle
using standard ASA flange sizes. When properly installed, the mixer weight
should be distributed between the mounting nozzle and the outboard support. In
mounting the unit, block it in position allowing the flange bolts to draw up freely.
Then affix the tie rod or pipe leg support and draw up snug. Tie rod shoes are
normally located "to suit" at installation -- their exact positions can be given for a
particular application, however upon request.
No tank baffles are required. Mixer to be mounted 7 to 8 degrees off tank center,
either direction. Mount mixer shaft one impeller diameter off tank bottom.
Install the impeller with the concave side of its blades (hydrofoil style) away from
the driver. Rotate the shaft by hand before applying power; to be sure there are
no obstructions. Proper rotation is indicated by an arrow on the nameplate
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
The most frequent cause of mechanical difficulty with a mixer is improper
mounting. During normal operation of your mixer, the random fluid motion in the
vessel can exert significant forces on the mixer shaft. The mixer has been
designed to accomodate these forces; and, as a result, the forces are transmitted
directly to the support mounting. The mounting system, therefore, must be rigid
enough to support not only the dead mixer weight, but also the live mixer
reactions as a result of Torque and Bending Moment.
DO NOT RUN MIXER IN AN EMPTY TANK OR WHEN THE LIQUID LEVEL IS
NEAR THE IMPELLER.

INSTALLATION
MOTORS
Ample circulation of air during operation is very important in securing full
performance and long life from an electric motor. Minimize obstruction to free
circulation in areas where motors are installed. Avoid choking off the suction
inlets on fan cooled motors. The allowable temperature is stamped on the motor
nameplate. Life of the motor will be decreased if its temperature during operation
exceeds the rated temperature for the class of insulation used within the motor.
The maximum temperature measured with a thermometer or surface pyrometer
on the exterior of the motor should not exceed 90
o
C for class A insulation, 110
o
C
for class B insulation and 150
o
C for class C insulation. A motor can be within
these temperature ratings and yet be too hot to touch.
Overload protection should always be provided to avoid motor damages during
temporary overloads, jams or other mishaps. Overload heater elements for
starters are sized from the motors rated full load current, which appears on the
nameplate.
V-BELT DRIVES
Belt driven mixers are shipped with the belts installed under proper tension, ready
to operate. No attention is required until a few days of operation seats the belts in
the sheave grooves. The drive centre distance should then be adjusted for
proper belt tension. Avoid installing the unit where proper ventilation of the drive is
blocked. Belts generate heat during operation where proper circulation of air is
necessary. If belts slip, they require adjustment. If the belts are dirty, wipe clean
with a clean dry cloth. NEVER USE A BELT DRESSING. During maintenance
and lubrication be careful not to drip oil on the belts.
If motor is being supplied by others and mounted at installation, use the following
procedure.
1. Remove belt guard and mount motor. Motor shaft must be parallel with the
agitator shaft.
2. Install driver sheave on motor shaft. Align sheaves with a straight edge to
insure proper tracking of belts.
3. Inspect sheaves carefully. Wipe off dust and smooth rusted spots. Sheave
grooves must be free of burrs and rough places, which will greatly accelerate belt
wear.
4. Shorten center distance until belts can be installed easily. Never pry or stretch
belts to get them into sheave grooves.
5. Install belts and adjust center distance for proper belt tension. Tension is
correct when a slight bow is observed on the slack side with unit running. Another
way of testing belt tension is to turn unit off and deflect each belt inward with the
thumb. Tension is correct when each belt deflects approximately one belt
thickness under thumb pressure.

INSTALLATION
STUFFING BOX
Hayward Gordon agitators employing stuffing box shaft seals are shipped with the
proper amount and type of packing installed. The gland, however, is loosely
adjusted. It will require attention as soon as the vessel is pressurized, or filled , if
shaft entry point is below the liquid level. Start the agitator and tighten gland
adjusting nuts gradually and evenly until leakage has almost stopped. Do not
overtighten -- a light amount of leakage (one to three drops per minute) is
necessary for proper operation. Over-tightening will cause excessive temperature
rise, shorten packing life, and may overload the motor on smaller units. Frequent
adjustments will be necessary the first few days.
Stuffing box type shaft seals require extreme care during initial installation and
operation if proper packing life is to be realized. Six (6) ring stuffing boxes are
equipped with a lantern ring which distributes lubricant to the packing during
operation. These boxes are fitted with a lube fitting and relief plug. Prior to
operation, a lubricant which is compatible with the process fluid, should be
pumped into the lube fitting until lubricant is evident at the relief plug. In order to
obtain proper sealing from a stuffing box the packing must be allowed to "run in".
Prior to operation, the gland plate nuts should be snugged up, but do not
overtighten. Always tighten evenly to avoid cocking the gland. Usually 1/3 to 1/2
turn on each nut will stop leakage. Always strive for satisfactory sealing with the
least gland force possible.
As the unit is started up the packing should be allowed to "run in", by snugging up
the gland plate nuts every couple of hours until the desired level of sealing is
reached. Once the packing has been "run in" the gland nuts should be
retightened on a regular basis which can be from weekly to monthly depending
upon the desired level of sealing.
It is most important that the shaft be running true and concentric with the stuffing
box bore. Typical shaft indicated runout is 0.002" or 0.003" -- the stuffing box will
not function properly if runout exceeds 0.005" on small (1 1/2") shafts; 0.008" on
large (4") shafts. If runout is excessive, check coupling for loose fastenings and
shipping crate for possible damage during shipment. If shaft is bent notify your
Hayward Gordon representative immediately.
If required, an optional stuffing box water cooling jacket is supplied. Water should
be piped to the cooling jacket, and whenever the unit is operating a 1/4 to 1/2
GPM flow of cool (approximately 85
o
F) water should be supplied to the jacket.
1/4" NPT supply and return connections are provided.

SEAL FLUSH.
When required in slurry applications, etc., a seal flush feature is provided to aid in
keeping foreign material away from the shaft seal. This consists of a cavity and lip
type throttling seal inboard of the shaft seal. Clean water (or other fluid compatible
with the process) is pumped into the flush cavity at a pressure slightly higher than
the process fluid pressure.
MECHANICAL SEALS
The mechanical seal in your Hayward Gordon agitator is assembled, adjusted,
and ready to operate when received. Installation consists of mounting unit on
vessel, assembling shaft, (if shipped disassembled), and making the necessary
coolant lubricant connections, if a double mechanical seal type is provided.
Special care should be exercised in handling. Any type of shock is to be avoided -
- the carbon seal faces are fragile and can easily be damaged.
Units having single mechanical seals (standard design on the side entry mixers)
must not be operated until vessel liquid level is above seal. NEVER OPERATE
MECHANICAL SEAL DRY.
Double seals must be provided with a supply of lubricant between the two seals at
approximately 20 psi in excess of the vessel pressure. The purpose of this fluid is
threefold: 1) to lubricate the seal faces, 2) to carry friction generated heat away
from the rubbing faces, and 3) to equalize pressure across the inboard seal.
A light oil is the best coolant-lubricant, but water or the process fluid may be used,
so long as it remains in the liquid state at the pressure and temperature
conditions existing at the seal faces. For outdoor operation the lubricant should
contain antirust preventative or be a water/glycol mixture. Be sure lubricant lines
are absolutely clean before starting the system. A flow rate of at least 1/4 gallon
per minute is recommended. Always be sure circulating system is turned on
before the agitator.
NEVER PRESSURIZE THE VESSEL WITHOUT FIRST APPLYING PRESSURE
TO THE SEAL HOUSING IN A DOUBLE MECHANICAL SEAL.
Seal leakage indicates the need for replacement of worn or damaged parts.
Follow Hayward Gordon removal and replacement instructions for the particular
unit involved. Always handle seal parts with extreme care, paying particular
attention to the lapped seal faces and packing members. Before reassembling,
inspect shaft carefully for burrs and longitudinal grooves. Smooth any rough
spots, keyway edges, etc., which might cut shaft packing member as seal is slid
over shaft. Duplicate exactly the original positions of members, so that spring
tension is correct.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
HSAB / HSNB SIDE ENTRY MIXERS
It is recommended that a complete spare seal be carried in stock, so any
damaged part can be quickly replaced. Ordering from Hayward Gordon will insure
receipt of the correct seal parts.
MECHANICAL SEAL LUBRICATOR (DOUBLE SEALS)
Before operating, fill reservoir to mark on sight glass with a light oil. Use a light oil
(SAE 10 approx.) or water/glycol combination with anti rust preservative. Connect
cooling line to connection at top of the lubricator, and drain line to connection at
bottom. For this closed loop lubricator system, gravity flow and heat transfer by
convection in most cases is adequate. Connect a pressure source 5 to 25 psi
above tank pressure to the connection at top of reservoir. Seal will operate
satisfactorily if this pressure source is equal to the tank pressure.
MAINTENANCE
REPACKING INSTRUCTIONS (HSAB)
Hayward Gordon model HSAB side entering agitators are equipped with a special
device which permits the stuffing box to be completely repacked without draining
the vessel. The procedure is simple and the action positive. It is, of course, not
necessary to utilize this feature when the tank is empty.
A collar is fixed to the agitator shaft, adjacent to the mounting flange, on the tank
side. Fitted on the shaft between this collar and the flange is the repack 'O' ring.
Operating clearance between the 'O' ring and face of the mounting flange is
approximately 3/16". When the shaft is retracted by a mechanism at the rear of
the unit, this 'O' ring is squeezed between the collar and the mounting flange.
Thus, an auxiliary seal is formed, permitting the stuffing box to be repacked
without draining the vessel.
PROCEDURE REFER TO MODEL HSAB PARTS LIST, SE-101.
1. With the unit turned off, remove belt guard, exposing retracting bolt, (Part
#7).
2. Loosen set screws holding shaft in inboard bearing (Part #10), and those
holding the shaft in the retractor tube (Part#36).
3. With a screwdriver, remove the "spirolox" shaft positioning ring (Part#12)
from its groove and slide it forward on the shaft. Shaft is now free to slide axially.
4. With an Allen Wrench, turn retracting bolt (Part#7) clockwise until shaft
retracts approximately 3/16" and a positive stop is felt. The shutoff device is now
activated.

5. Repack the stuffing box. Remove gland plate nuts, move gland plate away
from working area, remove split gland. Finally remove the first three packing
rings, then the lantern ring can be removed. Remove the remaining packing rings.
In reverse order install new packing rings, see installation of stuffing box seals for
details.
6. Reverse the procedure of Steps 1 through 4. The shaft positioning ring must
be reseated in its groove and seated against the retractor sleeve (Part#36), when
the setscrews are retightened. This sets the proper shaft operating position.
MAINTENANCE
MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS (HSNB)
Hayward Gordon model HSNB side entering agitators are equipped with a special
auxiliary sealing device which permits changing of worn mechanical seal parts
without draining the tank contents. This procedure must be followed to remove
the seal, even if the tank is empty.
A collar is fastened to the shaft just forward of the mounting flange. An O-ring
under the collar prevents leakage between collar and shaft during the
replacement procedure. When the shaft is retracted by a mechanism at the rear
of the agitator, the collar enters the mounting flange bore before the mechanical
seal gland leaves it, thus positively sealing the vessel during seal replacement.
The shaft is supported in its retracted position during the seal change by rotating
it fully clockwise or couterclockwise engaging positive lock mechanism.
PROCEDURE REFER TO MODEL HSAB PARTS LIST, SE-100.
1. With the unit turned off, remove the V-belt gaurd, exposing retracting bolt
(Part#7).
2. Loosen set screws holding shaft in the retractor sleeve (Part#36).
3. With a screwdriver, remove the "spirolox" shaft positioning ring (Part#12)
from its groove and slide it forward on the shaft. Shaft is now free to slide axially.
4. Remove the four bolts holding the inboard bearing and mechanical seal
gland on to the mounting flange. The entire shaft-mechanical seal assembly is
now free to slide axially.
5. With an Allen Wrench, turn the retracting bolt (Part#7) clockwise until the
shaft moves backwards approximately 1-1/4", and a positive stop is felt. The
auxiliary seal is now actuated.

6. Remove the bolts from the shaft coupling, and remove the retaining ring
behind the retracting bolt. The drive shaft may now be manually slid towards the
rear, out of the way.
PROCEDURE REFER TO MODEL HSNB PARTS LIST, SE-100.
7. Remove the bolt and washer holding the forward shaft coupling half onto the
shaft, and remove the coupling half -- this is a tapered fit and should bump loose
easily with a mallet.
8. Loosen set screws holding seal gland bearing on shaft, and slide this
bearing off end of shaft.
9. Slide seal gland off end of shaft. Now remove the mechanical seal parts,
inspect, and replace as necessary.
10. Reassemble in reverse order, being sure all parts are clean and well
lubricated. The shaft positioning ring (Part#12) must be re-seated in its groove
and seated against the retractor sleeve (Part#36), when the setscrews are
retightened. This sets the proper shaft operating position.
CAUTION:
If unit is equipped with a lubricator (double mechanical seal), this must be de-
pressurized and the seal cavity de-pressurized prior to disassembly. Similarly,
prior to replacing before operation, pressurize the seal cavity and lubricator
before starting unit.
BEARING LUBRICATION
Both shaft Bearings are grease lubricated and are shipped with grease applied.
However, we recommend that additional grease be added to ensure adequate
lubrication. See the attached SealMaster Instructions for Greasing Intervals,
Procedures and Type.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
The mixer should be checked often for abnormal temperatures, oil leaks,
abnormal noise, vibration etc. In the event of difficulties, the unit should be shut
down immediately. The following trouble shooting table should be reviewed and if
no solution is obvious, contact Hayward Gordon Limited.
TROUBLE WHAT TO INSPECT ACTION
1. Worn or damaged parts a) Check bearings and gears for excessive wear. Replace
worn parts.
b) Attempt to find cause of wear.
c) Check for abrasives in grease, inadequate or improper
grease. Overload, incorrect rotation, excessive shock, etc..
2. Overloading Overloading can cause loud operation. Check process
fluid, mixer speed, impeller diameter against unit assembly
drawing.
3. Worn or improperly installed
or maintained
couplings
Couplings can generate noise.
Check for proper alignment, or worn parts.
4. Structure amplification. Steel mounting structures and nozzles can act as a
diaphragm and amplify small amounts of normal noise.
This can only be corrected
by adding additional stiffness to the structure or nozzle.

GENERAL
Impellers from Hayward Gordon Mixers are normally shipped with
hubs mounted on the agitator shaft and with blades shipped loose.
Blades should be installed in strict accordance with matchmarks, if
any, and with bolts tightened to the torque listed below.
REPOSITIONING OR REMOVAL
Due to adjustment requirements or special installation procedures,
it may be necessary to relocate or even remove the impeller hub
from the shaft. Your Hayward Gordon impeller hub to shaft
clearance is optimized to provide maximum adjustability and
support with a minimum of fretting. therefore, even slight
distortions and scratches may cause the hub to "hang-up".
If more than one hub is to be removed, check the shaft and hub
for matchmarks. If none, mark clearly with a non-removable
indicator, noting which side of the hub is to face up.
It is safest to remove or relocate hubs while the shaft is in the
horizontal position before installation. If they are to be moved while
the shaft is hung vertically, a safety rope must be tied securely
through one or more bolt holes and tethered from above to prevent
dropping or sudden movement.
Before proceeding, remove all scratches and burrs from the shaft
over which the hub must pass, as well as the hub bore. Do not
use tools which might contaminate special agitator materials, such
as metal files on stainless steel. Polish the shaft with emery cloth.
Liberally coat the shaft with lubricant such as molybdenum disulphide
paste for ease of sliding.
Back off all setscrews. Rock the hub to loosen and firmly slide the
hub away from pin applying an even load on opposite ears. The hub
may be tapped lightly through a wooden block to aid in this
movement. Heavier hammer blows may cause the bore to close in
and grab the shaft. When hub slides clear, remove hook key.
Stop the hub at the first sign of binding on the shaft. Forcing the hub
may induce galling in some materials. making removal even more
difficult. Back off from the binding spot, determine the cause and
correct it before continuing.
If needed, moderate heat of about 300-350F (light straw temper
color) may be applied to the hub O.D. which will expand the bore for
removal over high spots. Heat concentrated on the thinner hub
section over the keyslot is most effective. Never allow the
temperature to rise above 450F (dark straw to bluish temper color).
When using heat, handle the hub only with heat protecting gloves.
REPLACEMENT AND SECURING
Before replacing the hub onto the shaft, check the bore for burrs or
scratches. Coat the bore and shaft with molybdenum disulphide
paste. If the shaft is hung vertically, attach a safety tether securely
through one or more bolt holes in the hub and support from above.
Install the hub with the side up as indicated by matchmarks. It is
usually, although not necessarily, assembled chamferred side first.
Slide the hub to a point above its required position and replace the
hook key onto the shaft. Gently lower the hub onto the key until it
seats against the pin. Do not drop against the pin. Tighten set
screws to torque listed below.
Install blades and tighten bolts to torques listed below.
Torque values shown are good for standard carbon and stainless
steel hex head bolts as well as nickel, monel, inconel, and Alloys
B,C, and 20 and are based on bolts lightly lubricated in the "as
received" condition. If lubricated with molybdenum disulphide paste
on threads and nut bearing face, bolt torques must be reduced to
75% of those tabulated.
All bolts should be tightened by turning nut side only.
All bolts should be re-tightened within 1 month after startup and at
each scheduled shut-down.

Installation Instructions
Set Screw an Skwezloc Locking
SEALMASTER Ball Bearing zone hardened, extended inner races are ground for a sliding fit over the
shaft. Set screw locking bearings are easily and securely locked to the shaft by means of two self-
locking, cup point, socket head set-screws. A positive race-to-shaft lock is attained when the ground
threads of the set crews are securely tightened through the soft extended ends of the inner race. The
hardened cup point penetrates the shaft surface trapping the shaft material. The cup has flat faceted
surfaces inside which prevent the set screw from backing out during operation.
Skwezloc locking units are locked by tightening a single socket head cap screw in the collar. Uniform
clamping pressure in a concentric grip is attained which does not intend to mar the shaft.
Mounting Instructions
Set Screw Locking
1. Use clean shafting free of nicks and burrs. If old shafting is used, locate SEALMASTER bearing on
an unused section.
2. Make certain set screws are clear of bore.
3. Slide SEALMASTER bearing into position on shaft. Never hammer the ends of the inner race, as
they may be damaged. If necessary to apply force, use a brass bar or pipe against the inner race
only to drift bearing into place. Never strike the housing as it may damage the baring.
4. Bolt Housing to support
5. Rotate shaft to make certain it turns freely
6. Tighten self-locking, cup point set screws securely onto the shaft. If a torque wrench is used, see
Table 2.
Skwezloc Locking
1. The optional SKWEZLOC locking unit is assembled on the shaft as per points 1 through 5 above.
Then, slide the collar into position on the extended end of the inner race seating it squarely against
the shoulder. Tighten the capscrew to the torque indicated in Table 3 below. Do not exceed the
indicated Torque Value.

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
All SEALMASTER bearing units are pre-lubricated with grease chosen for its chemical and mechanical stability.
SEALMASTER bearings are designed for lubrication with grease. Unit furnished with a grease fitting should be
periodically re-lubricated. The re-lubrication interval depends on bearing operating conditions: speed, temperature
and environment. (See Conditions in Table 1 below for typical re-lubrication schedules.)
Relubrication
1. Add grease slowly with shaft rotating until a slight bead forms at the seals.
2. Re-lubrication is generally accompanied by a temporary rise in operating temperature until the bearing
chamber is stabilized with the proper amount of grease.
3. It necessary to re-lubricate while bearing is stationary, refer to SEALMASTER catalog for maximum grease
capacity for the size bearing.
4. For abnormal operating conditions of high temperature or abnormal environments, consult SEALMASTER
Engineers.
TABLE 1
Speed Temperature Cleanliness Greasing Interval
100 RPM Up to 120F Clean 6 to 12 months
500 RPM Up to 150F Clean 2 to 6 months
1000 RPM Up to 210F Clean 2 weeks to 2 Months
1500 RPM Over 210F Clean Weekly
Any Speed Over 150F Dirty 1 week to month
Any Speed Any Temp, Dirty Daily to 2 weeks
Any Speed Any Temp. Extreme Conditions Daily to 2 weeks
For normal operating conditions, re-lubricate with a grease conforming to NLGI No. 2 penetration, free from chemical
impurities, such as dust, rust, metal particles or abrasives
