4.2.2.1 Installing the sub-base on a concrete foundation
WARNING:
•
When installing in a potentially explosive environment, ensure that the motor
is properly certified.
•
All equipment being installed must be properly grounded to prevent unexpect-
ed discharge. Discharge can cause equipment damage, electric shock, and result in seri-
ous injury. Test the ground lead to verify it is connected correctly.
1.
Remove water and debris from the anchor bolt holes and sleeves before you start the grout.
2.
For sleeve-type bolts, fill the sleeves with packing or rags in order to prevent grout from entering the
sleeves.
3.
Carefully lower the sub-base onto the foundation bolts and hand-tighten the bolt nuts.
4.
Use a machinist's level in order to level sub-base or the machine surface of the discharge head us-
ing leveling wedges or leveling screws.
In order to ensure an accurate reading, check that the surface being leveled is free from all contami-
nants, such as dust.
5.
Level the sub-base in two directions at 90° on the machined surface to achieve levelness condition
indicated in this table.
