The impeller installation of a high-flow, high-head multi-stage pump must be carried out strictly according to the steps to ensure installation quality, pump performance, and service life. During installation, pay attention to safety, cleanliness, and the importance of commissioning and operation.

I. Preliminary Preparations

1. Ensure a clean working environment to prevent impurities from entering the pump body.

2. Prepare the necessary installation tools, such as wrenches and screwdrivers.

3. Verify that the impeller model matches the pump body and ensure that all parts are intact and undamaged.

II. Installation Steps

1. Remove the old impeller: First, turn off the power and ensure that there is no pressure in the pump body. Then, according to the disassembly sequence, gradually remove the old impeller.

2. Clean the pump body: Use a clean cloth to wipe the inside of the pump body to ensure that no impurities remain.

3. Install the new impeller: Align the new impeller with the pump shaft and gently insert it, ensuring that the impeller and pump shaft are tightly fitted. Use tools to tighten the fixing screws appropriately.

4. Adjust the clearance: According to the manufacturer's standards, adjust the clearance between the impeller and the pump casing to ensure smooth water flow and avoid excessive wear.

5. Acceptance of installation quality: Check whether the impeller is firmly installed and whether the rotation is smooth. If there are any abnormalities, adjust them in time.

III. Precautions

1. Safety first: Ensure that the power is disconnected to avoid electric shock or accidental injury.

2. Precise matching: The model and specifications of the impeller must match the pump body; otherwise, it will affect the pump's performance.

3. Clean environment: Maintain a clean environment during installation to prevent impurities from entering the pump.

4. Moderate tightening: The screws fixing the impeller should be tightened appropriately to avoid over-tightening causing impeller deformation or loosening causing it to fall off.

5. Commissioning and operation: After installation, perform commissioning and operation to check whether the pump's performance is normal.

IV. Common Problems and Solutions

1. Impeller not firmly installed: Re-check the fixing screws and tighten them appropriately.

2. Impeller rotation is not smooth: Check if the pump shaft is damaged and adjust the impeller clearance.

3. Impurities mixed in during installation: Reclean the pump body and ensure a clean environment.

V. Post-Maintenance

1. Regularly check the impeller for wear and tear; if there is wear, replace it in time.

2. Keep the pump body clean to prevent impurities from entering.

3. Regularly check the pump's operating status to ensure stable performance.
