4.4 Grout the baseplate
CAUTION:
Do not grout until the initial alignment is made.
Grout compensates for an uneven foundation. Together with the baseplate, grout makes a very rigid in-
terface between the pump and the foundation by distributing the weight over the length of the base and
preventing shifting. Use an approved, non-shrinking grout such as Embeco 636 or 885 by Master Build-
ers, Cleveland, Ohio, or the equivalent.

Grout
Figure 14: Baseplate grouting
1.
Build a strong form around the foundation to contain the grout.
2.
Soak the top of the foundation thoroughly, then remove surface water.
3.
Completely fill the baseplate with grout.
If necessary, temporarily use air relief tubing or drill vent holes in order to remove trapped air.
4.
After the grout has completely hardened, tighten the foundation bolts.
