(8) Be sure to align the shafts correctly. (SP(3)/SP(3)-e, MSP/MSP-e)
Although the shaft is aligned at the factory before shipment, it could get misaligned during
transportation or installation (at fastening the anchor bolts). Check the alignment and re-align it
after the installation is complete.
For the model MTP/MTP-e, the shaft of the pump is directly coupled with the motor and there is no
need for alignment.

Precautions for piping work
(1) Remove the protection seal attached to the suction side and the discharge side of the pump
casing.
Warning
Be sure to turn off the power switch before starting alignment. The pump
may be unexpectedly activated and cause an injury.
Warning
Remove the shaft coupling cover when carrying out alignment. Before
operating the pump, however, be sure to fit the cover back on. If the pump
is operated without the cover, you may get caught in the machinery and
injured.
Caution
Improper alignment may lead to machine damage, vibrations, or noise.
Ensure to achieve accurate alignment.
Caution
Before piping work, remove the protective seals attached to the suction
port and the discharge port of the pump. Running the pump with those
seals attached may damage the pump and the piping.
Caution
Be sure to install a strainer at the suction port of the pump. Otherwise, the
piping may be contaminated with foreign objects, thus damaging the pump
and the piping.
Caution
Do not forcibly screw a pipe into the pump with the companion flange
attached to the pump. The pump may be damaged.
