ISO PRO Centrifugal Pump
Section 5....................................................................................Installation
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
• Do not place fingers or hands etc., into the suction or discharge pipe outlets and do not touch the
impeller, if rotated this may cause severe injury. To prevent ingress of any objects, retain the
protection covers or packaging in place until removal is necessary for installation.
• Do not touch any moving or rotating parts. Guards are provided to prevent access to these parts.
Where they have been removed for maintenance they must be replaced before operating the
equipment.
• Failure to support suction and delivery pipe work may result in distortion of the pump casing, with the
possibility of early pump failure.
2. LOCATION
• Install the unit close to the source of the liquid to be pumped.
• When selecting the location, be sure to allow adequate space for operation as well as for
maintenance operations involving dismantling and inspections of parts.
• Head room is an important consideration as an overhead lift of some type is required.

3. PART ASSEMBLIES

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the motor is assembled to the pump and lined up.
CHECK ALIGNMENT
Prior to grouting, an initial alignment check in accordance with the alignment section
of this document shall be performed to verify that coupling spacing and final alignment
can be achieved without modifying the hold down bolts or the machine feet. This is
necessary to ensure that the baseplate was not damaged during the transportation.
4. FOUNDATION
PUMP INSTALLATION AND FOUNDATION
There are many methods of installing pump units to their foundations. The correct
method depends on the size of the pump unit, its location and noise vibration
limitations. Non-compliance with the provision of correct foundation and installation
may lead to failure of the pump and, as such, would be outside the terms of the
warranty.
The foundation should be level and sufficiently rigid and substantial to prevent any pump vibration
and to permanently support the baseplate at all points. The most satisfactory foundations are made of
reinforced concrete. These should be poured well in advance of the installation to allow sufficient time
for drying and curing.
