Install shaft coupling to next shaft
section as directed above. Assemble the
next two five-foot sections of enclosing
tube with a tube bearing connecting
them. Tighten the two five-foot sections
of inner column horizontally and install
over the shaft, being careful not to bump
or damage the shaft.
Continue installation of remaining
sections, filling each enclosing tube
section with turbine oil prior to
installation of the next section.
Alternate method of installation of shaft and column in places where head
room is limited:
Move the first column section (shaft
and tube sections inside) into position
for hoisting, and fasten an elevator
clamp to the upper end, just below the
flange. Attach the sling to the clamp and
to the hoist hook as before.
Fasten the shaft section to the
column section by tying with a suitable
rope (a “tail rope”). Tie one end of the
tail rope to the hoist hook using a clove
or timber hitch.
With the same rope, take a double
half-hitch around the upper end of the
shaft in the threaded area, pass the rope
through the inside of the column section,
and take a reverse double half hitch near
the bottom of the shaft section, in the
threaded area (see Fig. 11).
When hoisting the column section,
the lower end should be guided by a
dragline that is pulled by the hoist (see
Fig. 10).
Tension must be maintained on
the tail rope while hoisting, to prevent
the shaft and tube sections from
slipping out.

section with shaft and tube sections

differ on pumps with flanged column).
