Normal packaging is designed to protect the pump during shipment It is recommended that the following procedure is taken: and for dry, indoor storage for up to two months or less.
INSTALLATION & ALIGNMENT same condition as was the case at the factory. Thus the factory align- ment will be done with the base sitting in an unrestrained condition on a flat and level surface. This standard also emphasizes the need to PREPARATION ensure the shaft spacing is adequate to accept the specified coupling spacer.

APPENDIX D INSTALLATION/CLEARANCE SETTING FOR REVERSE VANE IMPELLER Install the impeller (#444) by screwing it onto the shaft (use heavy gloves) until it firmly seats against the shaft shoulder. It is recommended that two people install a Group 3 impeller. The weight of a Group 3 impeller greatly increases the chance of thread damage and subsequent lock-up concerns.
