NOTICE:
Alignment in one direction may alter alignment in another. Check through each alignment pro-
cedure after making any alignment alteration.
Parallel alignment
Unit is in parallel misalignment when the shaft axes are parallel but not concentric. Shift driver as re-
quired.
In order to obtain vertical para1lel alignment under actual operating conditions, the driver shaft may have
to be set higher or lower (using thin shim stock) than the pump shaft due to differences in expansion
rates. Pump expansion rates vary with pump design. The following is a suggested cold setting for motor
driven units:
