4.5 Installation Equipment and Tools
Do not attempt installation without proper equipment. The following list covers the major equipment and tools
required for installation:
1. Mobile crane capable of hoisting and lowering the weight of the pump or motor (refer to Figure 4-1 on
page 15).
2. Cable sling for attaching to the pump and motor lifting eyes (refer to Figure 4-1 on page 15).
3. Ordinary hand tools such as end wrenches, socket set, screw drivers, allen wrenches, etc.
4. Wire brush, scraper and fine emery cloth.
5. Thread sealing compound, light machinery oil and a thread lubricant.
6. Tank or barrel flange gasket and flange bolts & nuts (Can Pumps).
4.6 Pre-installation Check List
For proper and timely installation, complete the following checks before starting the installation procedure:
1. Check the pump serial number with the number on the packing slip to ensure that the correct unit is
installed.
2. Check the driver horsepower and speed indicated on the driver nameplate and the horsepower and
speed indicated on the pump nameplate (located on the discharge head) to ensure they agree.
3. For electric motor driven units, make sure the voltage and frequency on the motor nameplate agree with
the service available. Also, ensure the horsepower/voltage rating of the control panel, starter, and/or
VFD agree with the horsepower/voltage rating of the motor.
4. Check the depth of the sump or barrel against the pump length to ensure there is no interference.
5. Check bottom of the pump. Sleeve-type mechanical seal units shipped completely assembled are
supplied with a shaft locking plate which must be removed and replaced with a pipe plug (plug is
required only on grease packed suction bearings) prior to installation (refer to Figure 4-5 on page 18).
NOTICE
A slight difference between the nominal speeds (RPM) shown on the driver and pump
nameplates are permissible. However, the difference must not be more than 1% to 2%.
