2 - Insert the perforated metal sheet coupling guard inside the lantern so that the coupling is accessible from one of the
lateral openings. Couple the electric motor to the pump lantern engaging the two coupling halves, hands may reach
the coupling halves through the lateral opening (see fig. 20) tighten the assembly with bolts supplied with the unit
and install the supporting foot, when applicable (see fig. 19). When tightening the connecting screws between
lantern and motor make sure not to force the two half-couplings
until they touch each other. If this occurs remove the
motor, axially move the
half-coupling
on the shaft and repeat the fixing procedure.

3 - Applying slight hand pressure to the coupling guard, rotate it so that one opening of the lantern is accessible (see fig. 21).
4 - Rotate by hand the coupling through the lateral opening of the lantern to make sure the pump is free.
5 - With a feeler gauge, check the distance between the two coupling halves. The gap value "S" should be as listed on
table 2 or as given by the coupling manufacturer.
In the event an adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screws on the coupling half and with a screw driver move
the coupling half to attain the gap "S" (see fig. 25). Then tighten the set screw and rotate the rotor by hand to make
sure, once more, that there is no obstruction.
6 - Rotate back the coupling guard by hand through the two openings of the lantern so that both openings are
completely covered. This will complete the alignment verification of the MONOBLOCK design.
7 - Remove the coupling guard and its extension (if there is one) attached to the pump, by removing the two locking
screws (see fig. 22 and 23).
