INSTALLATION
General
Installing the Vibramounts
KT pumps are supplied with vibramounts (vibrasprings on the KT-850) which enable them to run quietly and
vibration free. The pump can be operated on any floor which will support its weight. The pump must be installed on
the vibramounts and flexible connectors fitted in suction, discharge, water and electrical connections. It is not
necessary to bolt the pump to the floor.
If the studs are not already installed into the vibramounts, thread the short end into the top of the mount (smaller
diameter) up to the spacer portion of the stud.
The vibramount attachment holes are the four open threaded holes in the flanged edges of the cylinder, in line with
the bottom plate/cylinder bolts, just in from each corner of the pump.
DO NOT USE THE FOUR UNTHREADED HOLES WHICH ARE USED FOR SHIPMENT ONLY.
With the pump lifted off the ground, thread the vibramounts with studs into the vibramount attachment holes until
contact is made between the top of the vibramount and the cylinder bottom plate, and the foot location is parallel to
the pump shaft.
Care must be taken to set the pump down squarely on the mounts when installing the pump in operating position.
