erly and attached to a suitable foundation. A base of concrete
weighing 2
1

times the weight of the pump is recommended.

(Check the shipping ticket for pump weight.)
If possible, tie the concrete pad in with the finished floor. Use
foundation bolts and larger pipe-sleeves to give room for final
bolt location. (See Figure 6A.)

LEVELING
Place the pump on its concrete foundation supporting it with
steel wedges or shims totaling 1" in thickness. These wedges
or shims should be put on both sides of each anchor-bolt to
provide a means of leveling the base. (See Figure 6B.)

PUMP BASE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE PUMP-BASE BE SET
LEVEL TO AVOID ANY MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH
THE MOTOR OR PUMP. THIS PUMP WAS PROPERLY
ALIGNED (IF FURNISHED WITH A MOTOR) AT THE FACTORY.
HOWEVER, SINCE ALL PUMP BASES ARE FLEXIBLE THEY
MAY SPRING AND TWIST DURING SHIPMENT. DON'T PIPE
THE PUMP UNTIL IT IS REALIGNED. AFTER PIPING IS
COMPLETED AND AFTER THE PUMP IS GROUTED-IN AND
BOLTED-DOWN, ALIGN IT AGAIN. IT MAY BE NECESSARY
TO RE-ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT FROM TIME TO TIME
WHILE THE UNIT AND FOUNDATION ARE NEW.
