4 Installation
To ensure optimum operation it is important that any pump unit is installed correctly. When designing a pumping system the
following should be taken into consideration.
Pump Lubrication:
The pump will not be supplied pre-filled with oil therefore this table must be used to select recommended oil.
Oil changing: Oil level must be checked with the pump static.
First change: After 150 hours of operation, thereafter every 3000 hours of operation.
Oil filling: Fill with oil through the filler plug to the level indicated in the sight glass.
NOTE!
On horizontally ported pumps the sight glass must be fitted to the upper hole on the side of the gearcase. Refer to 6 Technical
datafor oil approximate quantities required

Baseplate Foundations
Pumps when supplied with a drive unit are normally mounted on a baseplate. Our standard baseplates have pre-drilled fixing
holes to accept base retaining bolts. To provide a permanent rigid support for securing the pump unit, a foundation is required
which will also absorb vibration, strain or shock on the pumping unit. Methods of anchoring the baseplate to the foundation
are varied, they can be studs embedded in the concrete either at the pouring stage as shown below, or by use of epoxy
type grouts. Alternatively mechanical fixings can be used.

The drawing above shows two typical methods for foundation bolt retaining. The sleeve allows for “slight” lateral movement of
the bolts after the foundation is poured. Rag or waste paper can be used to prevent the concrete from entering the sleeve
while the foundation is poured. A minimum of 14 days us normally required to allow the curing of the concrete prior to
pump unit installation.
