Caution: Pump assembly may be top heavy.
6. Rotate the pump and the mounting plate if ordered to the desired ori-
entation. Align the holes in the mounting plate and the motor adapter
with the holes in the motor face. Secure the mounting plate and motor
adapter to the motor using the correct bolts and washers (items 6,7,
and 8) from the hardware package.
7. Check and verify the locking rings are securely snapped in place and
did not loosen during shipping. Rotate the motor fan to check for binding
or rubbing inside the pump.
8. Install the pump into the system according to the installation instruc-
tions provided.
5. Install the coupling insert (yellow internally splined plastic sleeve) onto
the coupling half on the motor shaft. Carefully slide the motor adapter
(item 9 in figure 6) onto the motor making sure the pump shaft coupling
matches up with the plastic insert and seats properly. Make sure rabbet
on the motor is firmly seated into the motor adapter.
Caution: Improper positioning of the metric motor adapter can
cause premature coupling failure or cause the pump shaft to bottom
out before the pump is properly installed onto the motor adapter.
6. Rotate the pump discharge and the mounting plate if ordered to the
desired orientation. Align the bolt holes on the mounting plate with
the motor adapter (item 9 in figure 6) and the metric motor adapter
flange (item 2 in figure 6). Secure with the hardware provided.
Caution: Pump assembly may be top heavy.
7. Check and verify the locking rings are securely snapped into place and
did not loosen during the assembly process. Rotate the motor fan to
check for binding or rubbing inside the pump.
WaRninG: Magnetic field hazard. This pump contains powerful rare
earth magnets. When the pump is disassembled (not connected to a
motor) and the magnets are exposed, these magnets produce power-
ful magnetic fields. Individuals with cardiac pacemakers, implanted
defibrillators, other electronic medical devices, metallic prosthetic
heart valves, internal wound clips (from surgery), metallic prosthetic
devices or sickle cell anemia must not handle or be in the proximity of
the magnets contained inside the pump. Consult a health care provider
for specific recommendations before working with this pump.
PumPs with motors
1. No assembly required. Simply unpack the pump and motor and examine
for any signs of shipping damage. If damage is detected, save the
packaging and notify the carrier immediately.
2. Ensure that lock rings are securely snapped in place and did not loosen
during shipment.
3. To install the pump into the system, follow the installation instructions
provided.

1. Unpack the pump and any supplied accessories. Examine for shipping
damage. If damage is detected, save the packaging and notify the
carrier immediately.
2. Prepare to assemble the pump onto the motor by placing the motor
on the fan cover on a suitable clean, level work surface.
3. Install motor key into motor shaft key slot. Align the keyway slot on
the flywheel (item 35 in figure 5) and slide the flywheel onto the mo-
tor shaft with the protruding boss towards the motor face. Align the
keyway slot in the top coupling half (item 29 in figure 5) and slide the
coupling half on. Set coupling half with the motor shaft recessed 7/32”
and tighten both setscrews with a 1/8” Allen wrench to 70 in-lbs.
4. Slide the flywheel forward so that it rests against the backside of the
coupling half. Tighten both setscrews.
5. Install the coupling insert (yellow internally splined plastic ring) onto
the coupling half on the motor shaft. Place coupling support (item
38A in figure 5) into center of coupling half with the short side facing
the motor. Carefully slide the motor adapter end (item 9 in figure 5)
of the pump assembly over the motor shaft until both coupling halves
are completely seated in the coupling insert. Make sure rabbet on the
motor is firmly seated into the motor adapter.
2. Prepare to assemble the pump onto the motor by placing the motor
on the fan cover on a suitable clean, level work surface.
3. Install the keyway into the motor shaft key slot. Align the keyway slot
in the coupling half (item 29, figure 6), and slide the coupling half onto
the motor shaft with the splined side facing the pump. Set the coupling
half with the motor shaft recessed 11.1 mm. Tighten both setscrews
with a 1/8” Allen wrench to 7.9 N-m.
4. Install the metric motor adapter (item 2 in figure 6) onto the motor. To
aid in correct installation, the letters “A” & “B” are molded onto the
opposite sides of the motor adapter. For 71 frame motors, using the
correct hardware (items 3,4 and 5 in figure 6) mount the adapter with
side “B” facing up. For 63 frame motors, using the correct hardware
(items 3,4 and 5 in figure 6) mount the adapter with side “A” facing
up. See figures A & B.

the carrier immediately.
note: Finish Thompson has added extra weight (Flywheel item 35 in Figure
5) to several of our MSVKC Series Pumps to slow down motor start
up & prevent possible magnet decoupling. It is necessary to know
whether your pump was supplied with the flywheel. Flywheels are
supplied with all 56C NEMA & 80 Metric frame motor adapters. If you
are unsure whether your pump was supplied with a flywheel, please
contact FTI’s Tech Service Department at PH: 800-888-3743 or email
[email protected].
