A - GENERAL INFORMATION
TO THE PURCHASER:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the fi nest
pumps on the market today. These pumps are products
engineered and manufactured of high quality components.
With years of pump building experience along with a
continuing quality assurance program combine to produce
a pump which will stand up to the toughest applications.
Check local codes and requirements before installation.
Servicing should be performed by knowledgeable pump
service contractors or authorized service stations.
RECEIVING:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for
damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, fi le a claim
immediately with the company that delivered the pump.
If the manual is removed from the crating, do not lose or
misplace.
STORAGE:
Short Term -
Pumps are manufactured for effi cient
performance following long inoperative periods in storage.
For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as
factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant
temperatures for up to six (6) months.
Long Term -
Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty four (24) months. The units
should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed
over walled enclosure that provides protection from the
elements (rain, snow, wind blown dust, etc..), and whose
temperature can be maintained b40 deg. F and
+120 deg. F. Pump should be stored in its original shipping
container and before initial start up, rotate impeller by hand
to assure seal and impeller rotate freely.

B - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Motor driven pumps are carefully aligned on sub-base
before shipment. However, after they are placed upon the
foundation and sub-base is bolted down, the alignment
must be rechecked and in MOST CASES it will be found
necessary to carefully realign the unit. Quite often a noisy
pump is due to pump and motor not being properly aligned.
IN SUCH CASES WE DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR PROPER WORKING OF PUMP.
C - INSTALLATION
1. A good rigid foundation must be provided for pump
base.
2. Place pumping unit on foundation with bolts, of the
proper size, imbedded in the concrete. A pipe sleeve,
about 2½” diameters larger than the bolt, should be
used to allow for fi nal positioning of the bolts. See
Figure 1. Level sub-base, to give a space of about 3/4”
for grouting, using rectangular metal blocks and shims,
or wedges having a small taper as shown in Figure 2.
3. Align the pump and motor shafts at the fl exible coupling.
Hold a straight edge on the top of the coupling so that it
extends over both halves. Straight edge should rest
evenly across both rims of the coupling halves when the
straight edge is placed on the top, sides and bottom with
no light showing between the straight edge and rim of
the coupling. Also check vertical alignment of the
coupling faces with a thickness gauge. Faces must be
parallel and spaced about 1/8” apart when the motor
rotor is at its extreme position towards the pump. This
safe guards the pump shaft being crowded endwise by
the motor shaft end play. By proper adjustment of metal
shims under pump or motor, both halves of the fl exible
coupling can be brought into alignment See Figure 3.
