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.
7. Grout the baseplate using low-shrinkage concrete with a standard particle size
and a water/cement ratio of ≤ 0.5.
Produce flowability with the help of a solvent.
Perform secondary treatment of the concrete to EN 206.
NOTE
For low-noise operation the pump set can be mounted on vibration dampers upon
confirmation by the manufacturer. In this case, only fasten the flexible elements at
the baseplate after the piping has been connected.
NOTE
Expansion joints can be fitted between the pump and the suction/discharge line.
