2: Levelling of the base frame
English (GB)
3: Preliminary alignment
Warning
Before starting work on the pump,
make sure that the power supply has
been switched off and cannot be
accidentally switched on again.
The pump and motor are pre-aligned on the base
frame from the factory. Some deformation of the
base frame may occur during transport and it is
therefore essential to check the alignment at the
installation site prior to final grouting.
A flexible coupling will only compensate for minor
misalignments and must not be used to compensate
for excessive misalignment of the pump and motor
shafts. Inaccurate alignment results in vibration and
excessive wear on the bearings, shaft or wear rings.
Warning
Carry out alignment of the motor only,
as pipe strain will occur if the pump is
shifted.
Carry out alignment of the motor by placing shims of
different thickness under the motor. If possible,
replace several thin shims with one thick shim.
See section 7.3 Alignment.

4: Grouting
Grouting compensates for an uneven foundation,

distributes the weight of the unit, dampens vibrations

7.4.2 Bypass
Warning
The pump is not allowed to run against
a closed valve as this will cause an
increase in temperature/formation of
steam in the pump which may cause
damage to the pump.
If there is any danger of the pump running against a
closed discharge valve, ensure a minimum liquid
flow through the pump by connecting a bypass or
drain to the discharge pipe. The minimum flow rate
must be at least 10 % of the maximum flow rate. The
flow rate and head are stated on the pump
nameplate.

Expansion joints provide these advantages:

this applies only to rubber bellows expansion
