Installation
Install the baseplate using spring mounting
NOTICE:The spring-mounted baseplate is designed only to support piping loads from thermal
expansion. You must support the suction and discharge piping individually. Failure to do so
may result in equipment damage.
The foundation pads are not provided with the baseplate. Make sure that the foundation pads
are 316 stainless-steel plates, which have a 16-20 micro-inch surface finish.
Before you start this procedure, make sure that the foundation pads are correctly installed on
the foundation/floor (see the manufacturer's instructions).
1. Put the baseplate on a support above the foundation/floor.
Make sure that there is enough space between the baseplate and the foundation/floor in
order to install the spring assemblies.
2. Install the lower part of the spring assembly:
a) Screw the lower jam nut onto the spring stud.
b) Screw the lower adjusting nut onto the spring-stud, on top of the jam nut.
c) Set the lower adjusting nut to the correct height.
The correct height depends on the required distance between the foundation/floor and
the baseplate.
d) Put a washer, a follower, a spring, and one more follower onto the lower adjusting nut.
3. Install the spring assembly on the baseplate:
a) Insert the spring assembly into the baseplate's anchorage hole from below.
b) Put a follower, a spring, another follower, and a washer onto the spring stud.
c) Fasten the spring assembly with the upper adjusting nut by hand.
4. Thread the upper jam nut onto the spring stud by hand.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all the spring assemblies.
6. Lower the baseplate so that the spring assemblies fit into the foundation pads.
7. Level the baseplate and make the final height adjustments:
a) Loosen the upper jam nuts and adjusting nuts.
b) Adjust the height and level the baseplate by moving the lower adjusting nuts.
c) When the baseplate is level, tighten the top adjusting nuts so that the top springs are
not loose in their followers.
8. Fasten the lower and upper jam nuts on each spring assembly.

Install the baseplate using stilt mounting
NOTICE:The stilt-mounted baseplate is not designed to support static piping loads. Make sure
to individually support the suction and discharge piping. Failure to do so may result in
equipment damage.
1. Put the baseplate on a support above the foundation/floor.
Make sure that there is enough space between the baseplate and the foundation/floor to
install the stilts.
2. Install the lower part of the stilt assembly:
a) Screw the lower jam nut and adjusting nut onto the stilt.
b) Set the lower adjusting nut to the correct height.
The correct height depends on the required distance between the foundation/floor and
the baseplate.
c) Put a washer onto the lower adjusting- nut.
3. Install the stilt assembly on the baseplate:
a) Insert the stilt assembly into the baseplate's anchorage hole from below.
b) Put a washer onto the stilt.
c) Fasten the stilt assembly with the upper adjusting nut by hand.
4. Screw the upper jam nut onto the stilt by hand.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all the stilt assemblies.
6. Lower the baseplate so that the stilts fit into the foundation cups.
7. Level the baseplate and make the final height adjustments:
a) Loosen the upper jam nuts and adjusting nuts.
b) Adjust the height and level the baseplate by moving the lower adjusting nuts.
c) When the baseplate is level, tighten the top adjusting nuts.
8. Fasten the lower and upper jam nuts on each stilt.

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.
Pump-to-driver alignment
Precautions
WARNING:
• Follow shaft alignment procedures in order to prevent catastrophic failure of drive components or
unintended contact of rotating parts. Follow the coupling installation and operation procedures from
the coupling manufacturer.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or
maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical
injury.
NOTICE:Proper alignment is the responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check
the alignment of frame-mounted units before you operate the unit. Failure to do so can result in
equipment damage or decreased performance.
Alignment checks
When to perform alignment checks
You must perform alignment checks under these circumstances:
• The process temperature changes.
• The piping changes.
• The pump has been serviced.
