2.11 Dowel Pump and Driver

Pump hold down bolts are to be torqued down and dowel pins are to be located in pump feet
as shown below.

Dowel pin location

2.

Refer to driver outline drawing and/or driver instructions for driver dowelling information.

2.12 Hot Alignment Check

A hot check can only be made after the unit has been in operation a sufficient length of time to
assume its NORMAL operating temperature and conditions. If the unit has been correctly cold set,
the offset misalignment will be within .005" TIR (.12mm TIR) and the angular misalignment will be
within .0025" TIR (.06mm TIR) when in operation. If not make adjustments.

WARNING

Do not attempt any maintenance, inspection, repair or cleaning in the vicinity of rotating
equipment. Such action could result in injury to operating personnel.

WARNING

Before attempting any inspection or repair on the pump the driver controls must be in the
"off" position, locked and tagged to prevent restarting equipment and injury to personnel
performing service on the pump.
