4.0 Installation Guidelines
A proper installation is essential to optimal performance, long service life, and reduced
maintenance requirements. Take time to thoroughly plan all aspects of your installation.
4.1 General Location
It is important to position the pump on as flat and level a surface as possible to assist
the splash oil lubrication system. Park mobile equipment, such as sewer cleaner trucks
or drilling machines, on as level a surface as possible. Whenever possible the pump
should be mounted in a clean, dry location with sufficient lighting and adequate space
for easy inspection and maintenance. Locate the pump as close to the suction source
as possible to allow for the shortest and most direct routing of the inlet piping.
4.2 Mounting Pump to Foundation and Power Source
The L06 through L16 model pumps described in this document must be mounted in a
horizontal position only. Secure the pump to the mounting surface using the four (4)
holes provided in the pump base. Check motor or engine rotation direction to insure
that the top of the industrial pump pinion shaft, on pumps with the pinion shaft gear
reduction, rotates away from the pump fluid end when in operation. On HD or other
pump models that do not have a pinion shaft, the top of the pump crank shaft should
rotate toward the pump fluid end when in operation.
For units that are V-belt driven, check the alignment of the sheaves after the unit is
installed on its permanent mounting. Tighten belts to the proper tension as
recommended by the belt manufacturer. Verify that the sheaves are in line and parallel
to each other with a straight edge. CAUTION: Never operate the pump without the belt
guard securely installed.
For direct-coupled or spline-driven units, insure that the shafts are centered and parallel
when the driver is mounted to the pump. Follow the coupling manufacturer instructions
for installation procedures and tolerances. CAUTION: Never operate the pump without
a shaft guard securely installed.
4.3 Bearingless Hydraulic Motor Drives
L09 through L16 pumps may be ordered
with a flanged adapter that allows a
hydraulic motor to be direct coupled to the
pump frame. To mount this motor, first
attach the splined adapter or cross-over
adapter to the crankshaft. This adapter
can be splined, keyed, or threaded and
should make a positive stop on the crank.
Check to insure that the bronze bushing
has been pressed into the proper bore of
