ALIGNMENT TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: With experience, the installer will understand
the interaction between angular and parallel and will
make corrections appropriately.
GROUT BASEPLATE
1. Clean areas of baseplate that will contact grout. Do not
use an oil-based cleaner because grout will not bond to it.
2. Build a dam around foundation (Fig. 22). Thoroughly
wet foundation.
3. Pour grout through grout hole in baseplate up to level of
dam. Remove air bubbles from grout as it is poured by
puddling, using a vibrator, or pumping the grout into
place. Non-shrink grout is recommended (Fig. 22).
4. Allow grout to set.
5. Fill remainder of baseplate with grout. Remove air as
before (Fig. 23).
6. Allow grout to set at least 48 hours.
7. Tighten foundation bolts.
ALIGNMENT CHECK
Re-check alignment before continuing, using methods
previously described.

Alignment Troubleshooting
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
Cannot obtain horizontal (Side-to-Side)
alignment, angular or parallel.
Driver feet bolt bound.
Loosen pump hold down bolts and slide pump and driver
until horizontal alignment is achieved.
Cannot obtain vertical (Top to Bottom)
alignment, angular or parallel. Baseplate not leveled properly,
probably bowed.
Determine if center of baseplate should be raised or
lowered and correct by evenly adding or removing shims
at the center of the baseplate.
