3. Clean the pump discharge flange.
4. Lift the pump, mount the strainer if required and lower slowly into the sump. Guide the pump as it is
being lowered and watch for any obstructions or binding of the pump. Stop lowering the unit when still a
few inches off the foundation.
5. Rotate the pump until the discharge flange faces the proper direction for alignment with piping. Align the
anchor bolt holes.
6. Slowly lower the pump onto the foundation (or sole plate if applicable).
7. Install the mounting bolts or nuts. Do not tighten at this stage.
8. Connect the system piping to the pump, if required, shift the pump slightly on the foundation to facilitate
alignment.
9. Tighten the discharge flange bolting. Ensure that the flanges mate face to face without applying
excessive force.
10. Tighten the mounting bolts (grout and anchor if no sole plate).
NOTICE
• All machined surfaces are coated with rust preventative prior to shipment. This must be
completely removed along with any paint overspray or rust which might be on the
machined faces.
• The faces must be scraped and wire brushed first.
• Use fine emery cloth to remove any stubborn spots.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Be particularly careful not to damage any piping which may extend down, along the column
and/or bowl assembly. This piping (when used) must not be crushed. If damaged, remove
and replace it.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Excessive nozzle loads must not be imposed on the pump. All piping must be carefully
aligned and supported to prevent excessive nozzle loads.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
It is strongly recommended that flexible connectors (dresser couplings or equivalent) be
installed in the piping immediately adjacent to the pump.
WARNING
PERSONNEL INJURY
• Always ensure proper tightening of all piping connections to the pump.
• Ensure the required gaskets and/or o-rings are installed.
• Poor connections may result in leakage.
• Leakage of hazardous or high pressure pumpage may result in personnel injury.
