4. Hand tighten the anchor bolts. Check the level and re-shim if necessary.
5. Tighten all anchor bolts in a star pattern in order to avoid distorting the support plate.
Stuffing box installation
This pump is a sealless design. Therefore, when temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F , you must
move the thrust bearing away from the heat source in the pump by adding the upper stuffing
box. Air can then circulate around the bearing in order to keep it cool.
The upper stuffing box is also used to minimize vapor emissions when the pump handles
controlled substances.
