FDS Series Pumps ALIGNMENT In most cases, the pump will be shipped with a drive unit mounted on a baseplate. The drive and pump are aligned at the factory; however, this alignment should be checked after installation (Figure 7). Misalignment between the pump and drive can result in premature bearing failure or other damage.
