• Baseplate-leveling worksheet
This procedure is applicable to the feature-fabricated steel baseplate and the advantage base
baseplate.
1. Apply an anti-seize compound on the jackscrews.
The compound makes it easier to remove the screws after you grout.
2. Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts and perform these steps:
a) Cut the plates from the bar stock and chamfer the edges of the plates in order to reduce
stress concentrations.
b) Put the plates between the jackscrews and the foundation surface.
c) Use the four jackscrews in the corners in order to raise the baseplate above the
foundation.
Make sure that the distance between the baseplate and the foundation surface is
between 0.75 in. (19 mm) and 1.50 in. (38 mm).
d) Make sure that the center jackscrews do not touch the foundation surface yet.

3. Level the driver mounting pads:
NOTICE:
Remove all dirt from the mounting pads in order to make sure that you achieve the correct
leveling. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
a) Put one machinist's level lengthwise on one of the two pads.
b) Put the other machinist's level across the ends of the two pads.

Install pump, driver, and v-belt drive
Install and align the sheaves
Before installing the driver onto an overhead motor mount or side-by-side base, ensure that
Foundation requirements and baseplate mounting procedures sections are complete.
1. Mount and fasten the pump on the pedestal spacer, foundation, or baseplate as applicable.
Use appropriate hardware.
2. For a motor that is mounted overhead, install the overhead motor mount.
3. For a motor that is mounted to the side of the pump, fasten the motor slide base on the
baseplate or pump. Fasten the motor slide base on the baseplate or foundation, as
applicable. Use appropriate hardware.
4. Mount the driver on the overhead motor mount or slide base, as applicable. Use
appropriate hardware.
5. Install the v-belt drive bushings and sheaves. See the installation instructions from the vbelt drive manufacturer.After the v-belt drive bushings and sheaves are installed, check the
sheave alignment using a straight edge as shown in the following diagram.
Installation
1. Straight edge
2. Incorrect
3. Correct
NOTICE:
Make sure that the sheaves are properly aligned. Proper alignment is necessary to guarantee
the correct power transmission and speed ratio, and ensures minimum vibration and long drive
life.
Install and tension the belt
1. After alignment of the sheaves, reduce the center distance between the pump and motor
shafts so that the belts can be easily mounted into the sheave grooves.
For...Reduce the center distance by...
Overhead mounted motorsAdjusting the leveling nuts
Side mounted motorsAdjusting the motor slide base
Make sure that the center distance between the pump and motor shaft is reduced to the
point where the belts can be put on the sheaves without the use of force. Never roll or pry
the belts into place, as this could damage the belt cords.
2. After the belts are seated in the sheave grooves, increase the center distance between the
pump and motor shafts to tension the belts.
XHD Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual27
Installation
Refer to pump general arrangement drawing for center distance ranges.
Figure 7: V-belt tension
Many v-belt drive manufacturers offer tension measurement tools that can aid in setting
proper belt tension. Contact the v-belt drive manufacturer for more information.
3. Secure the overhead motor mount on slide base in place once the belts are properly
tensioned.
4. Install the unit after installation to ensure that the belts and sheaves do not come into
contact with the guard.
CAUTION:
The unit must not be operated without the proper drive guard in place. Operating the unit without the
drive guard in place could result in personal injury to operating personnel.
Install the pump, driver, and coupling
1. Mount and fasten the pump on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts.
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 pump-to-driver alignment before you operate the unit. Failure to do so can result in
equipment damage or decreased performance.
NOTICE:
Proper alignment is the responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check the
