4.3 Install pump, driver, and v-belt drive
4.3.1 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.
Alignment procedures must be followed to prevent unintended contact of rotating parts. Fol-
low coupling manufacturer’s installation and operation procedures.
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 appro-
priate 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 v-belt
drive manufacturer.
After the v-belt drive bushings and sheaves are installed, check the sheave alignment using a straight

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.
4.3.2 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.
