The foundation has the required strength and characteristics.
ü The foundation has been prepared in accordance with the dimensions given in
the outline drawing/general arrangement drawing.
1. Position the pump set on the foundation and level it with the help of a spirit
level placed on the shaft and discharge nozzle.
Permissible deviation: 0.2 mm/m
2. Use shims (1) for height compensation, if necessary.
Always fit shims, if any, immediately to the left and right of the foundation
bolts (3) between the baseplate/foundation frame and the foundation.
For a bolt-to-bolt distance (L) > 800 mm fit additional shims (2) halfway between
the bolt holes.
All shims must lie perfectly flush.
3. Insert the foundation bolts (3) into the holes provided.
4. Use concrete to set the foundation bolts (3) into the foundation.
5. Wait until the concrete has set firmly, then level the baseplate.
6. Tighten the foundation bolts (3) evenly and firmly.
NOTE
For optimum smooth running, baseplates should be grouted with low-shrinkage
concrete in the following cases:
- For all vibration-critical applications
- Baseplates with a width > 400 mm
- Baseplates made of grey cast iron
NOTE
For low-noise operation contact the manufacturer to check whether the pump set
can be installed on anti-vibration mounts.
NOTE
Expansion joints can be fitted between the pump and the suction line or discharge
line.
