By adjustment of wedges, bring the bedplate to an approximate level and provide the proper dis-
tance above the foundation for grouting (¾" to 1-1/2"). Level or plumb the suction and discharge
flanges. Bring pump and motor shafts into reasonable alignment making absolutely certain that
motor shaft is not a sufficient thickness of shims under the motor feet to allow for adjustment dur-
ing alignment.

Tighten foundation bolts, but only finger tight. Maintain the level of the bedplate.
NOTICE:
Final tightening is done after pump is grouted and grout has set at least 48 hours.

Build wood dam around foundation as shown in
