Xylem 2000 Series Frame Mounted Pumps AC8652 REV.C - Manual (Page 6)

INSTALLATION
This pump is built to provide years of service if
installed properly and attached to a suitable
foundation. A base of concrete weighing 2-1/2
times the weight of the pump is recommended.
(Check the shipping ticket for pump weight.) If possible, tie the concrete pad in with the finished
floor. Use foundation bolts and larger pipe-sleeves
to give room for final bolt location. (Fig. 4)

LEVELING
Place the pump on its concrete foundation
supporting it with steel wedges or shims
totaling 1" in thickness. These wedges or
shims should be put on both sides of each
anchor-bolt to provide a means of leveling the
base.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE PUMP-
BASE BE SET LEVEL TO AVOID ANY
MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE
MOTOR OR PUMP. THIS PUMP WAS
PROPERLY ALIGNED (IF FURNISHED WITH
A MOTOR) AT THE FACTORY. HOWEVER,
SINCE ALL PUMP BASES ARE FLEXIBLE
THEY MAY SPRING AND TWIST DURING
SHIPMENT. DON’T PIPE THE PUMP UNTIL
IT IS REALIGNED. AFTER PIPING IS
COMPLETED AND AFTER THE PUMP IS
GROUTED-IN AND BOLTED-DOWN, ALIGN
IT AGAIN. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO RE-
ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT FROM TIME TO
TIME WHILE THE UNIT AND FOUNDATION
ARE NEW.
