Installation

Install the baseplate using shims or wedges

Required tools:
• Two sets of shims or wedges for each foundation bolt
• Two machinist's levels
• Baseplate-leveling worksheet
This procedure is applicable to cast iron and fabricated steel baseplates.
1. If you use sleeve-type bolts, fill the bolt sleeves with packing material or rags to prevent grout from
entering the bolt holes.
2. Put the sets of wedges or shims on each side of each foundation bolt.
The sets of wedges should have a height of between 0.75 in. (19 mm) and 1.50 in. (38 mm).

3. Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts.
4. Put the machinist's levels across the mounting pads of the driver and the mounting pads of the pump.
NOTICE: Remove all dirt from the mounting pads in order to make sure that you achieve the
correct leveling. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
5. Level the baseplate both lengthwise and across by adding or removing shims or moving the wedges.
These are the leveling tolerances:
You can use the baseplate-leveling worksheet when you take the readings.
6. Hand-tighten the nuts for the foundation.
