3.4 Piping accessories
• A foot valve in the suction line is not required for this selfpriming pump.
• Foreign particles can damage the pump. Avoid the entry of big or hard particles by
installing a strainer.
3.5 Foundation / base plate
• The foundation must be hard, level and flat.
• To anchor the base plate, proceed as follows :
3.5.1 Pump units assembled on base plate
The following applies when the units are assembled on the base plate:
• A coupling guard protecting from rotating parts must always be installed.
• The pump and motor shafts of complete units have been accurately factory-aligned.
After arrangement of the pump unit, check the pump and motor shaft alignment and, if
necessary, realign as follows:
The KGEF close coupled pump can be fastened directly on a foundation; realignment is
not necessary.
3.5.2 Alignment pump unit
Place a ruler (A) on the coupling; the ruler should touch both half couplings over the
entire length (see figure 4).
