Bombas Ideal, S.A.
7.- MANIPULATION
For handling the equipment appropriate lifting and transport systems complying with
safety norms should be used.
Pumps in bare shaft disposal must be handled using the delivery flange as lifting point, and to position
them use the suction flange and the bearing support if required. RNI models have a ring for lifting.
The electric motor should be handled using the securing point(s) provided for this purpose consisting on a
ring located at the top of the casing (for motors with feet).
For diesel engines see the specific manual supplied with them.
To handle the motor pump set use a sling going under the bed so as to ensure stability during lifting and
displacement. Under no circumstances use the ring located over the motor or pump.
8.- SET UP AND INSTALLATION
8.1.- Foundations
Foundations must be levelled, firm and consistent and should have the dimensions required to absorb any
vibrations, wich may arise during operation.
Foundations must be executed in two stages. The first foundation stage must be at least 20mm less than the
final dimensions. Sleeves must be at the right place to get the anchoring bolts located on the baseplate.
Once that first foundation stage is finished, the pumpset can be positioned on the foundation with the aid of
gauges and a spirit level (permissible deviation 0,2 mm/m).
Gauges must be located as close as possible to the anchoring bolts.
1 Distance between anchoring bolts "L"
2 Gauges
Note: if the distance between anchoring bolts is more than 800 mm, aditional gauges must be located at the middle of
the baseplate.
After the pumset levelled, distance between
baseplate and foundation must be higher
than 20 mm to complete the second stage
foundation.
Execute the second stage foundation, filling
with mortar from the sleeves to the upper
level of the baseplate.
consistency shall be adequate to avoid the
formation of cavities under the baseplate.
Once the second stage foundation is hard,
anchoring nuts bolts can be firmly tightened
up. Tighten nuts alternately and check
levelling equipment.
Attention: The pump-motor alignment
must be check after finish the installation
up of the equipment.
