The foundation must be kept free of all contamination after it has been prepared for grouting.
To continue with the leveling procedure:
1. Remove the pump and driver from the base to facilitate the leveling procedure.
2. Remove baseplate from wooden skid.
3. Attach lifting rig hooks to lifting holes of baseplate as described in
4. Guide baseplate to position above foundation bolts and lower baseplate into position over foundation
bolts; be sure to respect the above-mentioned clearance between concrete and baseplate.
SECTION 3.3-TRANSPORT.
• There should be a minimum annular clearance of 1/8 inch (3 mm) between
anchor bolt holes and the anchor bolts to allow for field alignments.
• Exercise proper caution when working under or around suspended objects.
5. Using a precision level across baseplate pads, adjust jacking bolts as necessary to ensure that baseplate is
level in all directions (See Figure 4.2), within 0.002 in/ft (0.2 mm/m).
Figure 4.2 – Baseplate leveling planes
• The alignment of the base plate is effected only with the help of adjusting
screws. Wedges may not be used for this purpose.
• NOTE: Each jacking bolt should have a mounting pad, to distribute the stresses
