Install the packed stuffing box
The stuffing box is packed at the factory. The packing is lubricated by a grease cup supplied with the pump.
1. Fill the grease cup with any lithium-based #2 grease.
2. Install the grease cup on the tapped opening on the stuffing box.
3. Turn the cap on the grease cup several turns in order to inject the grease into the packing.
4. Hand-tighten the gland nuts.
Install the pump, driver, and coupling
1. Mount and fasten the pump on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts.
2. Mount the driver on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts and hand tighten.
3. Install the coupling.
See the installation instructions from the coupling manufacturer.
Motor installation and coupling alignment
WARNING:
• Follow shaft alignment procedures in order to prevent catastrophic failure of drive components or
unintended contact of rotating parts. Follow the coupling installation and operation procedures from
the coupling manufacturer.
• Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before you perform any installation or
maintenance tasks. Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power will result in serious physical injury.
NOTICE: Proper alignment is the responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check the
alignment of frame-mounted units before you operate the unit. Failure to do so can result in equipment
damage or decreased performance.
Install the motor
Use NEMA Vertical C-face motors with this pump. P-base motor adapters and IEC motor adapters are
available as options.
1. Install both coupling halves before you mount the motor.
Refer to the instructions from the coupling manufacturer.
2. Use the lifting lugs on the motor in order to carefully lower the motor onto the pump.
Make sure to align the bolt holes.
3. Before you connect the coupling, wire the motor and check the direction of rotation.
The rotation arrow is on the motor support. The correct rotation is clockwise as you look down from
the drive at the impeller.
Alignment checks
When to perform alignment checks
You must perform alignment checks under these circumstances:
• The process temperature changes.
• The piping changes.
• The pump has been serviced.
