8 - Place the electric motor on the baseplate and bring the two coupling halves together with approx. 2 mm gap
between them keeping the motor axially aligned with the pump shaft. In the event the two shaft heights do not
align, proper shimming under the pump or motor feet will be required. Mark the motor and/or pump anchoring bolt
holes. Remove motor and/or pump, drill and tap the holes, clean and mount pump and/or motor in place and lightly
tighten the bolts (see fig. 24).

9 - With a straight edge ruler check the parallelism of the two coupling halves at several points ,90° from each other
(see fig. 26).
NOTE:
Easier and more accurate readings can be attained with instruments such as Dial Indicators (if readily
available).

If the maximum value of "X" is higher than that listed in the tab. 6 (for the given coupling size) it will be required to
correct the alignment by using shims under the pump or motor feet.
When the measured values fall within the tolerances, the pump and motor mounting bolts can be tightened.
10 - Angular misalignment can be measured with a caliper. Measure the outside coupling dimension at several points
(see fig. 27).
