Mounting
The machine has two full-length mounting feet,
one on each side, consisting of machined steel bars
integral with the frame. When foundation caps or sole
plates are used, their function is to act as spacers
between the actual foundation and the unit. They are to
be a part of the foundation. Accordingly, if they are
used, it is important that they be firmly attached to the
foundation to withstand the applied torques and normal
vibration forces. It is also imperative that they be

supported evenly on the foundation and be located in a
level plane.
Place the machine on the foundation (sole plates,
if used) with its shaft approximately in line with and at
proper distance from the shaft of the machine to be
coupled. Use shims under the feet to adjust for the
correct shaft height. Refer to the outline drawing for
information covering the shim location and required
shim and depth. When this preliminary alignment is
complete, install the holdown bolts but do not tight them
until final alignment has been made.
