1. Mount and fasten the pump on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts. Center pump on
baseplate.
2. Mount the driver on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts and hand tighten.
3. Install the coupling.
See the installation instructions from the coupling manufacturer.
4.3 Level the base on a concrete foundation
Before leveling and grouting the base, perform an initial alignment. See Pump-to-driver
alignment.
1. Place the pump on its concrete foundation. Verify that the pump is centered on the
baseplate.
2. Place 1.00 in./(25.40 mm) thick steel shims or wedges on both sides of each anchor
bolt in order to support the pump .
This also provides a means of leveling the base.
1. Pump Base Rail
2. Grout only to top of base rail
3. Locate the shims to allow removal after grouting.
4. Grout
5. Concrete foundation
6. Shims
7. 1” (25.40 mm) Gap
8. Allow 1” for shims. Place on both sides of anchor bolts.
4.4 Grout the baseplate
Required equipment:
• Cleaners: Do not use an oil-based cleaner because the grout will not bond to it. See
the instructions provided by the grout manufacturer.
• Grout: Non-shrink grout is required.
1. Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout.
2. Build a dam around the outside edge of baseplate.
3. Thoroughly wet the foundation that will come into contact with the grout.
4. Pour grout into the baseplate up to top of the base rails and under lower edge of base.
Locate shims to allow removal after grouting.
When you pour the grout, remove air bubbles from it by using one of these methods:
– Puddle with a vibrator.
– Pump the grout into place.
5. Allow the grout to set. It is recommended to remove shims, retighten anchor bolts, and
fill shim gaps with grout.
