a) Install two swivel hoist rings diametrically opposite each other in the upper flange of the bottom
column.
b) Attach a sling to the swivel hoist rings and to the hoist hook.
c)
Hoist the column section over the bowl assembly.
d) Lower the column over the enclosing tube until the column flange engages the discharge-bowl
flange register.
e) Insert as many capscrews through both flanges as possible and gradually tighten them in dia-
metrically-opposite pairs.
7.
Lift the entire assembly by the column pipe swivel hoist rings and remove the I-beam supports.
8.
Slowly lower the bowl and column assembly.
9.
Place the supports on the foundation and continue to lower the assembly until the upper column
flange comes to rest on the supports.
10. Pour one quart of synthetic turbine oil ISO VG 32 into the top tubing section and screw the tube
bearing into the top length until it bottoms, ready to receive the next length of tubing assembly.
NOTICE:
Do not use automotive oils.

4.6 Installing the discharge head
CAUTION:
•
Do not bump or scrape the shaft protruding above the column. This could result in a bent
or damaged shaft, which could affect the performance of the pump.
CAUTION:
•
Packed stuffing boxes are not allowed in an Ex-classified environment.
•
The mechanical seal used in an Ex-classified environment must be properly certified.
NOTICE:
Make sure that all rigging devices are rated to handle more than the pump weight.
Mechanical seals are shipped separately. If the seal housing is assembled to the discharge head, re-
move it before you begin this procedure.
For the enclosed lineshaft option, only perform steps 2 and 3 in this procedure:
1.
If the stuffing box is assembled to the head, remove it and all attached piping.
2.
Remove the coupling guard:
a) Attach shackles to the discharge head lifting lugs, or thread two eyebolts in the head driver-
support mounting holes diametrically opposite each other.
b) Hoist the discharge head over the protruding headshaft.
3.
Orient the discharge head in the required position:
