4. When positioning the machine, ensure that a uniform axial gap (y→0) is maintained around
the coupling.
5. Fix the machine to the foundation. The choice of fixing elements depends on the foundation
and is the plant operator's responsibility.
① Plates placed under the motor for alignment
② Laser alignment
