4 Installation
To ensure optimum operation it is important that any pump unit is installed correctly. When designing a pumping system the
following should be taken into consideration.

The pump will be supplied filled with food grade oil with NSF/NSDA H1 Approval. The oil level can be checked using the oil
site glass on the side of the gearbox. Oil level must be checked with the pump not running.
It is recommended to change the oil every 4000 hours of pump operation.
Oil should be drained by removing the oil drain plug on the side of the gearbox and filled by removing the gearbox vent plug.

Pumps when supplied with a drive unit are normally mounted on a baseplate. Our standard baseplates have pre-drilled
fixing holes to accept base retaining bolts. To provide a permanent rigid support for securing the pump unit, a foundation is
required which will also absorb vibration, strain or shock on the pumping unit. Methods of anchoring the baseplate to the
foundation are varied, they can be studs embedded in the concrete either at the pouring stage as shown below, or by use of
epoxy type grouts. Alternatively, mechanical fixings can be used.
The foundation should be approx. 150 mm (6 inch.) longer and wider than the baseplate. The depth of the foundation should
be proportional to the size of the complete pump unit. For example, a large pump unit foundation depth should be at least 20
times the diameter of the foundation bolts.

The drawing above shows two typical methods for foundation bolt retaining. The sleeve allows for “slight” lateral movement
of the bolts after the foundation is poured. Rag or wastepaper can be used to prevent the concrete from entering the
sleeve while the foundation is poured. A minimum of 14 days is normally required to allow the curing of the concrete prior
to pump unit installation.
