ERECTING THE PUMP:
The assembly of the pump with the driver on a
common base plate is done in our works, the whole set will be carefully
mounted and aligned.
It is necessary to check once more the alignment of the
coupling before putting the pump into operation. The eye bolts which may be
fitted to the driver must never be used to lift the complete set as they are
meant to carry the weight of the driver only.
1.
Grouting:
Grout compensates for unevenness in the foundation and
distributes the weight of the unit uniformly on the foundation. It also prevents
lateral shifting of the base plate and reduces vibration. Use a non shrinking
grout. Foundation bolts should be tightened evenly, but not too firmly. Grout
the unit as follows:
1. Build a strong form around the base plate to contain the grout.
2. Soak the foundation top thoroughly, and then remove surface water.
3. Pour grout. Tamp liberally while pouring in order to fill all cavities and
prevent air pockets. The space between the foundation and base plate
should be completely filled with grout. In order to prevent the base plate from
shifting, fill under the base plate at least four inches in from all four edges.
Wedges may be left in place.
4. After the grout has hardened (usually about 48 hours), thoroughly tighten
foundation bolts and check alignment.
5. Approximately 14 days after the grout has been poured or when it is
thoroughly dry, apply an oil base paint to exposed edges of the grout to
prevent air and moisture form coming in contact with the grout.
