Installation Procedures Continued
Optional Horizontal Baseplate Installation
Some units include an optional FEDCO baseplate which provides good mounting surfaces for the
motor and pump. It also increases accuracy during the alignment process. Although the base
-
plate is precisely manufactured, it requires a solid foundation such as a concrete pad or rigid
steel substructure. If the optional baseplate is used, it must be installed first to avoid distortion
which may occur due to uneven floors or substructure. If the pump is installed within a container,
it must be mounted on a rigid steel substructure that will not distort under the weight of the equip
-
ment or from torque reaction forces during pump operation.
