15
Install the coupling key (27) and coupling flange (29) on the drive shaft. Roughly
position the flange so that its inside surface is flush with the end of the drive shaft (19)
and then lightly tighten the setscrew.
16
Install the motor key and coupling flange (28) on the motor shaft. Roughly position the
flange so that its inside surface is flush with the end of the motor shaft and then lightly
tighten the setscrew.
17
Install the coupling spider (30) on the motor coupling flange (28).
18
Models M2-M4: Bolt the bracket (26) to the motor (12) using four bolts (15).
Models M5-M8: Bolt the motor (31) to the pedestal (26) using four bolts (15).
19
Bolt the pump to the bracket or pedestal (26) using four bolts (24). (Note: Models M5-
M8 must have the adapter ring (12) installed between the pump and pedestal.)
CAUTION! Be certain that the coupling flanges are properly spaced
and not touching each other. If contact occurs, axial loads can be
transmitted to the pump, resulting in premature pump failure.
20
Check for proper separation of the coupling flanges using a shim or feeler gauge. The
flanges should have a spacing of 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. If necessary, adjust the spacing
of the coupling flanges.
21
Tighten the coupling setscrews.
