CAUTION:
Equipment Damage. Use an anchor bolt and flat washer at each anchor bolt hole.
Otherwise, shifting of the pump unit may occur. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious property damage and/or moderate personal injury. It is very important that
the pump be set level to avoid any mechanical difficulties with the pump.
Foundation checklist
You must fulfill these requirements before the foundation is ready for pump installation:
• Place the pump unit on its concrete foundation and support it with steel wedges or shims.
• Machine the wedges or shims and then place them on both sides of each anchor bolt in
order to provide a means to level the base.
• Make sure that the length of the wedge or shim is at least four times the diameter of the
anchor bolt.
• You can place additional shims between the existing anchor bolts. Use an anchor bolt for
each anchor bolt hole provided and use plain, flat type-W washers with each anchor bolt.
Baseplate checklist
You must fulfill these requirements before the baseplate is ready for pump installation:
• Set the baseplate on the foundation and level it using shims under each mounting hole.
• Make sure that the length of the shim is at least four times the diameter of the mounting
bolt.
• Make sure that the shim thickness is at least 0.06 in. (1.52 mm) thick.
• Make sure that the base is anchored to the foundation with bolts in all mounting holes.
Optionally, you can place shims under the rail between the rail mounting bolts.
Piping check
Do not pipe the pump until it is leveled.
4.6 Level the base on a concrete foundation
Place 1.00 in./(25.40 mm) thick slotted steel shims around each anchor bolt in order to
support the pump.
This also provides a means of leveling the base.
