4.0 Installation Guidelines
A proper installation is essential to optimal performance, long service life, and reduced
maintenance requirements. Take time to thoroughly plan all aspects of your installation.
4.1 General Location
It is important to position the pump on as flat and level of a surface as possible to assist
the splash oil lubrication system. Park mobile equipment, such as sewer cleaner trucks
or drilling machines, on as level of a surface as possible. Whenever possible, the pump
should be mounted in a clean, dry location with sufficient lighting and adequate space
for easy inspection and maintenance. Locate the pump as close to the suction source
as possible to allow for the shortest and most direct routing of the inlet piping.
4.2 Mounting Pump to Foundation and Power Source
The W11 model pumps described in this document must be mounted in a horizontal
position only. Secure the pump to the mounting surface using the four (4) holes
provided in the pump base. Check motor or engine rotation direction to ensure that the
top of the pump pinion shaft rotates away from the pump fluid end when in operation.
For units that are v-belt driven, check the alignment of the sheaves after the unit is
installed on its permanent mount. Tighten belts to the proper tension as recommended
by the belt manufacturer. Verify that the sheaves are in line and parallel to each other
with a straight edge.
Never operate the pump without the belt or shaft guard securely
installed.
For spline-driven units, ensure the shafts are centered and parallel when the driver is
mounted to the pump. Follow the coupling manufacturer instructions for installation
procedures and tolerances.
