Two machinist's levels
This procedure is applicable to the feature-fabricated steel baseplate and the advantage base baseplate.
1.
Apply an anti-seize compound on the jackscrews.
The compound makes it easier to remove the screws after you grout.
2.
Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts and perform these steps:
a) Cut the plates from the bar stock and chamfer the edges of the plates in order to reduce stress
concentrations.
b) Put the plates between the jackscrews and the foundation surface.
c)
Use the four jackscrews in the corners in order to raise the baseplate above the foundation.
Make sure that the distance between the baseplate and the foundation surface is between 19 mm |
0.75 in. and 38 mm | 1.50 in.
d) Make sure that the center jackscrews do not touch the foundation surface yet.

Level the driver mounting pads:
NOTICE:
Remove all dirt from the mounting pads in order to ensure that the correct leveling is achieved.
Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
a) Put one machinist's level lengthwise on one of the two pads.
b) Put the other machinist's level across the ends of the two pads.
c)
Level the pads by adjusting the four jackscrews in the corners.
Make sure that the machinist's level readings are as close to zero as possible, both lengthwise and
across.
4.
Turn the center jackscrews down so that they rest on their plates on the foundation surface.
5.
Level the pump mounting pads:
