INSTALLATION

PUMP LOCATION

Locate the pump so there is sufficient room for inspection, maintenance and service. If the use of a hoist or tackle is needed, allow ample head room.

WARNING: Falling Objects Hazard

Eyebolts or lifting lugs, if provided, are for lifting only the components to which they are attached. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death, or property damage.

If lifting base pump is required, use a nylon string, chain, or wire rope, hitch around both bearing supports. If lifting of the entire pump is required, do so with slings placed under the base rails as shown.

Care must be taken to size equipment for unbalanced loads which may exist if the motor is not mounted on the base at the time of lifting. Motor may or may not be mounted at the factory.

Pump, base, and driver assemblies where the base length exceeds 100 inches may not be safe to lift as a complete assembly. Damage to the baseplate may occur. If the driver has been mounted on the baseplate at the factory, it is safe to lift the entire assembly. If the driver has not been mounted at the factory, and the overall baseplate length exceeds 100 inches, do not lift the entire assembly consisting of pump, base, and driver. Instead, lift the pump and baseplate to its final location without the driver. Then mount the driver.

The best pump location for sound and vibration ab-sorption is on a concrete floor with subsoil underneath. If the pump location is overhead, special precautions should be undertaken to reduce possible sound transmission. Consult a sound specialist.

If the pump is not on a closed system, it should be placed as near as possible to the source of the liquid supply, and located to permit installation with the fewest number of bends or elbows in the suction pipe.

The installation must be evaluated to determine that the Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) meets or exceeds the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR), as stated by the pump performance curve. See page 11 for more details on proper suction piping installation.

RECEIVING PUMP

Check pump for shortages and damage immediately upon arrival. (An absolute must.) Prompt reporting to the carrier’s agent with notations made on the freight bill, will expedite satisfactory adjustment by the carrier.

Pumps and drivers normally are shipped from the factory mounted and painted with primer and one finish coat. Couplings may be either completely assembled or have the coupling hubs mounted on the shafts and the connecting members removed. When the connecting members are removed, they will be packaged in a separate container and shipped with the pump or attached to the base plate.

Shafts are in alignment when the unit is shipped; however, due to shipping, the pumps may arrive mis-aligned and, therefore, alignment must be established during
