Xylem 8100 Series Centrifugal Pumps AC2515 REV.C - Manual (Page 5)

INSTALLATION
RECEIVING THE PUMP
Check the pump for damage immediately upon
arrival. (An absolute must!) Prompt reporting of
any damage to the carrier’s agent, with notations
made on the freight bill, will expedite satisfactory
adjustment by the carrier.
Pumps and drivers are normally shipped from the
factory mounted on a baseplate. Couplings may
either be completely assembled or have the
coupling hubs mounted on the shafts and the
connecting members removed. When the
connecting members are removed, they will be
packaged in a separate container and shipped
with the pump or attached to the baseplate.
LIFTING THE PUMP
The following instructions are for the safe lifting of
the Series 8100 pump.
The pump unit should be unloaded and handled
by lifting equally at four or more points on the
baseplate. The lugs on the upper half casing are
designed for lifting the upper half casing only.
Horizontal
1. Bare Pump (Model 100)
WARNING: Falling Objects Hazard
Eyebolts or lifting lugs, if provided, are for
lifting only the components to which they are
attached. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury or death, or
property damage.
Using a nylon sling, chain, or wire rope,
hitch around both bearing supports (See
Figure 3).
2. Pump, Base, and Driver (Model 150)
Care must be taken to size equipment for
unbalanced loads which may exist if the
motor is not mounted on the base at the
time of lifting. Motor may or may not be
mounted at the factory.
FIGURE 3 – MODEL 100
Pump, base, and driver assemblies where
the base length exceeds 100 inches may
not be safe to lift as a complete assembly.
Damage to the baseplate may occur. If the
driver has been mounted on the baseplate
at the factory, it is safe to lift the entire
assembly. If driver has not been mounted
at the factory and the overall baseplate
lengths exceeds 100 inches, do not lift the
entire assembly consisting of pump, base,
and driver. Instead lift the pump and
baseplate to its final location without the
driver. Then mount the driver.
Bases supplied with lifting holes:
Large bases are supplied with lifting holes
in the sides or the ends of the base (See
Figure 4).
