4. Use a machinist's level on the mounting pads for adjustments as the anchor bolts are tightened.
5. Provide leveling nuts or wedges for mounting the baseplate to the foundation.
6. For steel frames or similar structures, set the pump directly over support beams rigid enough to pre-
vent distortion and misalignment.
For portable skid-mounted configurations, make sure the pump set is level.
Piping Installation
Reference pump manual for specific piping installations. In general, complete the following:
•
Ensure couplings are aligned.
NOTE: Generally, alignment is not needed because of the ElectricPAK's motor stool.
•
Properly support all suction and discharge piping to avoid strain on the pump.
•
Piping should match the pump inlet and outlet connection sizes.
•
Do not restrict suction intake.
NOTE: Do not use concentric reducers going into suction.
•
Use isolation joints when needed.
•
Orient eccentric reducers downwards.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Refer to the motor and drive manuals for electrical hazards and instructions.
Pre-Start Verifications
These verifications are supplementary to those found in individual assembly equipment manuals. Ensure all
installation and start-up instructions are completed.
1.
Check electrical incoming voltage meets requirements and an adequate ground connection exists.
2. Inspect the overall system for damage during installation.
3. Pressurize the system with the site water to remove any trapped air.
4. If there are any water leaks in the piping, isolate the location and tighten the connections.
5. Verify motor and pump bearings and seal are adequately lubricated according to their respective user
manuals.
6. Ensure all guards are in place prior to energizing equipment. Refer to individual assembly equipment
manual's for start-up and operation.
