with side “A” facing up. The metric motor adapter must be positioned 
so that the adapter seats onto the motor rabbett. See figures A and B 
above.

 

  

CAUTION

: Improper positioning of the metric motor adapter can 

cause premature coupling failure or cause the pump shaft to bottom 
out before the pump is properly installed onto the motor adapter.

5.  Install the flywheel (item 35 in figure 8) onto the flywheel adapter and 

attach using four screws with lock washers (items 36 and 37 in figure 
8). Tighten securely.

6.  Insert the coupling insert (yellow internally splined plastic sleeve) into 

the coupling half on the motor. Carefully slide the motor adapter end 
(item 9 in figure 8) of the pump assembly over the motor shaft until 
both coupling halves are completely seated in the coupling insert. Make 
sure rabbet on the motor is firmly seated into the motor adapter. 

7.  Rotate the pump discharge and mounting plate if ordered to the desired 

orientation. Align the boltholes on the mounting plate with the motor 
adapter (item 9) and the metric motor adapter flange (item 2). Secure 
with the hardware provided.

8.  Make sure that the locking rings are securely snapped in place and 

did not loosen during shipping or the assembly process.

 

  

CAUTION

: Pump assembly may be top heavy.

 

Install the pump into the system according to the installation instruc-
tions provided.

tank and level fluctuating from near top of pump column to close to the bottom of the pump.
Drawing 2 shows drawing of pump suction near tank bottom and level fluctuating between 

the top and bottom of the tank. 
Drawing 3 shows drawing of pump with suction extension and the level fluctuating between 

startup level and low level.

correct hardware (items 3, 4, and 5 in figure 7), mount the adapter 
with side B facing up. For 63 and 80 frame motors, using the correct 
hardware (items 3, 4, and 5 in figure 7), mount the adapter with side 
A facing up. See figures A and B.

5.  Install the coupling insert (yellow internally splined plastic sleeve) onto 

the coupling half on the motor shaft. Carefully slide the motor adapter 
(item 9 in figure 7) onto the motor making sure the pump shaft coupling 
matches up with the plastic insert and seats properly. Make sure rabbet 
on the motor is firmly seated into the motor adapter. 

6.  Rotate the pump discharge and the mounting plate if ordered to the 

desired orientation. Align the bolt holes on the mounting plate with the 
motor adapter (item 9) and the metric motor adapter flange (item 2). 
Secure with the hardware provided.

 

CAUTION

:  Pump assembly may be top heavy.

7.  Make sure that the locking rings are securely snapped in place and 

did not loosen during shipping or the assembly process.

8.  Install the pump into the system according to the installation instruc-

tions provided.

FOR 80 FRAME METRIC MOTOR ADAPTER WITH 

FLYWHEEL (ITEM 35 IN FIGURE 8):

1.  Unpack the pump parts and any supplied accessories and examine 

for damage.  If damage is detected, save the packaging and notify the 
carrier immediately. 

2.  Prepare to assemble the pump onto the motor by placing the motor on 

the fan cover on a suitable clean, level work surface.

3.  Install the keyway into motor shaft key slot. Align the keyway slot in 

flywheel adapter / coupling half combination (item 34 and metal half of 
item 27 in figure 8) and install on motor shaft with splined side facing the 
pump. Note: These items are preassembled at the factory. Set coupling 
half flush with the end of the motor shaft and secure with coupling sup-
port washer, lock washer and bolt (items 38B, 39 & 40). Tighten both 
setscrews in coupling half with 1/8” Allen wrench to 7.9 N-m.

4.  Install the metric motor adapter (item 2 in figure 8) onto the motor. To 

aid in correct installation, the letters “A” and “B” are molded on the 
opposite sides of the metric motor adapter. For 80 frame motors using 
the correct hardware (items 3,4 and 5 in figure 8) mount the adapter

FOR 63, 71  AND 80 METRIC FRAME ADAPTERS 

WITHOUT FLYWHEELS (USE FIGURE 7)

1.  Unpack the pump and any supplied accessories and examine for damage.  If 

damage is detected, save the packaging and notify the carrier immediately. 

2.  Prepare to assemble the  pump onto the motor by placing the motor 

on the fan cover on a suitable clean, level work surface.  

3.  Install the keyway into the motor shaft key slot. Align the keyway slot 

in the coupling half, and slide the coupling half onto the motor shaft 
with the splined side facing the pump. Set the coupling half with the 
motor shaft recessed 11.1 mm. Tighten both setscrews with a 1/8” 
Allen wrench to 7.9 N-m.

4.  Install the metric motor adapter (item 2 in figure 7) onto the motor. 

To aid in correct installation, the letters “A” and “B” are molded onto 
opposite sides of the motor adapter. For 71 frame motors, using the
