Dowel the pump casing to the baseplate pedestals in order to make sure that you maintain the proper
pump position.
1.
Drill two holes, one in each casing mounting pad, at the locations provided.
Drill the holes through both the casing mounting pads and the baseplate pedestal, when possible.
This makes it easier to clean the metal chips produced from the drilling and reaming operations.
NOTICE:
If water-cooled pedestals have been provided, then do not drill through the baseplate pedestal.
Doing so can result in leakage of cooling water.
2.
Clean all burrs and metal chips from the holes.
3.
Ream the holes with a number 7 taper pin reamer to the proper fit with the taper dowel pins.
Insert the pins deep enough that only the threaded portion is exposed when the pin is fully seated.
4.
Seat the taper pins firmly in the holes with a hardwood block or soft-faced hammer.
NOTICE:
Always remove the dowel pins before removing the casing. Failure to do so can result in casing
damage.
