5 Installation at Site
3. Turn the adjusting screws (2) by hand or by means of an open-end wrench until
the coupling alignment is correct and all motor feet rest squarely on the
baseplate.
4. Re-tighten the hexagon head bolts (1) at the motor and the locknuts (3) at the
baseplate.
5. Check that the coupling and shaft can easily be rotated by hand.
WARNING
Unprotected rotating coupling
Risk of injury by rotating shafts!
▷ Always operate the pump set with a coupling guard.
If the customer specifically requests not to include a coupling guard in KSB's
delivery, then the operator must supply one!
▷ Observe all relevant regulations for selecting a coupling guard.
6. Re-install the coupling guard and the footboard for the coupling guard, if any.
7. Check the distance between coupling and coupling guard.
The coupling and coupling guard must not come into contact.
5.7.2 Levelling the pump set without adjusting screws
Compensate any differences in shaft centreline heights of pump and motor by means
of shims.

ü The coupling guard and its footboard, if any, have been removed.
1. Check the coupling alignment.
2. Loosen the hexagon head bolts at the motor.
3. Insert shims underneath the motor feet until the difference in shaft centreline
height has been compensated.
4. Re-tighten the hexagon head bolts.
5. Check proper functioning of coupling/shaft.
Check that coupling/shaft can easily be rotated by hand.
