WHITE PAPER | 3

it has remained correct, should the pump and

motor be doweled. (This practice is endorsed by

some, discouraged by others.)

MAINTENANCE

Ensure that alignment checking is an integral

part of your preventative maintenance program.

(Use dial indication or laser alignment.)

CONCLUSION

While the procedure indicated above is lengthy

and may to some seem excessive, pump failure

can be traced directly to poor installation and

alignment practices, or pump procedures that

were not followed. Taking shortcuts to save a

few minutes or a few hours during installation

and alignment may ensure the inconvenience

and expense of extended and frequent periods of

downtime.
