Aligning the machine to the driven machine and attaching it to it (IM V1, IM V10)

The standard flange is provided with a centering. The choice of fit for the mating flange on the
driven machine is the system manufacturer's or the plant operator's responsibility.
Note
If the machine is not fitted with a standard flange, align the machine to suit the driven machine.
Procedure
The machine axis must be vertical when it is lifted and the flange must be parallel to the mating
flange, so as to avoid seizing and stressing. Otherwise damage to the centering will result.
1. Grease the centering flange with assembly paste to make the process easier.
2. Screw in two studs into tapped holes on opposite sides of the driven machine flange. The
