Operating instructions
To prevent vibrations being transmitted to adjoining components, the foundation should be laid on
a suitable insulating base (panels providing insulation against structure-borne sound or vibration
panels).
The size of these insulating panels will vary, depending on circumstances, and
should therefore be determined by an experienced specialist..
Concrete foundations must be completely set before the pump unit is installed. Place the pump
unit on the foundation and level with a spirit level (on shaft or flange). Cast the joint between the
foundation base and anchors and the foundation.
Note:
•
Use jointing compounds that will not shrink and with sufficient resistance.
•
Avoid air bubbles.
•
Check that the compound has properly set and hardened.
After setting, tighten the foundation anchor evenly and firmly. Check alignment of pump unit and
adjust if necessary; check that all screws between the pump/motor and the foundation base fit
snugly.
4.2 Installation and Alignment of Coupling
Make sure that nobody can start the motor during work on the coupling.
According to Accident Prevention Regulations, the pump unit may only be operated
when the coupling guard is mounted.
Installation
If the pump unit is not completely assembled until it reaches its place of use and no separate
operating instructions have been supplied by the manufacturer, you should proceed according to
the following points:
•
Before starting installation, carefully clean shaft ends and coupling components.
•
Pull coupling onto shaft end, do not hit. The coupling may be heated beforehand in an oil bath to
approx. 100 °C (pulling on is then easier). Remove rubber packs from coupling section first.
•
The coupling sections must be flush with the shaft end surfaces.
•
Secure coupling hubs against axial sliding using a pin screw.
Alignment
The following procedure should also be followed for pump units mounted complete on frames:
check coupling again after installation on the foundation plate.
