General Information; Installation - Deming 3060 Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

A - GENERAL INFORMATION
TO THE PURCHASER:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest
pumps on the market today. These pumps are products
engineered and manufactured of high quality components.
With years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce
a pump which will stand up to the toughest applications.
Check local codes and requirements before installation.
Servicing should be performed by knowledgeable pump
service contractors or authorized service stations.
RECEIVING:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for
damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, fi le a claim
immediately with the company that delivered the pump.
If the manual is removed from the crating, do not lose or
misplace.
STORAGE:
Short Term - Pumps are manufactured for effi cient
performance following long inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as
factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant
temperatures for up to six (6) months. Rotate shaft by hand
approx. every 30 days.
Long Term - Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty four (24) months. The units
should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed
over walled enclosure that provides protection from the
elements (rain, snow, wind blown dust, etc..), and whose
temperature can be maintained between +40 deg. F and
+120 deg. F. Pump should be stored in its original shipping
container and before initial start up, rotate shaft by hand
to assure seal and impeller rotate freely approx. every 30
days.

B - INSTALLATION
1. FOUNDATION
The pump foundation should be suffi ciently substantial
to form a level, rigid support for the combined weight
of the pump and driver and maintain alignment of the
installed unit. Foundation bolts, of the proper size, should
be imbedded in the concrete. A pipe sleeve, about 2½"
diameters larger than the bolt, should be used to allow for
fi nal positioning of the bolts. See Figure 1. Rough up area
covered by the baseplate for good grout bond.
Figure 1. Foundation Bolt Location and Anchorage
2. MOUNTING:
Pumps and drivers that are received from the factory
with both machines mounted on a common base plate,
were accurately aligned before shipment. All baseplates
are fl exible to some extent and, therefore, must not be
relied upon to maintain the factory alignment. Preliminary
alignment is necessary after the complete unit has been
leveled on the foundation, and again, after the unit is
piped, and rechecked periodically as outlined in the
following paragraphs.
Position unit on foundation and level the base plate,
using rectangular metal blocks and shims, or wedges
having a small taper as shown in Figure 1. A gap of 3/4"
to 1½" should be allowed between the base plate and
foundation for grouting.
Adjust the metal supports or wedges until the shafts of
the pump and driver are level. Check the coupling faces,
as well as the suction and discharge fl anges of the pump
for horizontal or vertical position by means of a level.
Correct the positions, if necessary, by adjusting the
supports or wedges under the base plate, as required.
NOTE: A fl exible coupling should not be used to
compensate for misalignment of the pump and driver
shafts. The purpose of the fl exible coupling is to
compensate for temperature changes and to permit end
movement of the shafts without interference with each
other, while transmitting power from the driver to the pump.
CAUTION! - Remove and lock out power to driver.
