Installation
Perform complete alignment for a horizontal correction
A unit is in complete alignment when both the angular indicator (A) and the parallel indicator (P)
do not vary by more than 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) as measured at four points 90° apart.
1. Set the angular and parallel dial indicators to zero at the left side of the driver coupling half
(Y), 90° from the top-center position (9 o’clock).
2. Rotate the indicators through the top-center position to the right side, 180° from the start
position (3 o’clock).
3. Record the indicator readings.
4. Make corrections according to the separate instructions for angular and parallel alignment
until you obtain the permitted reading values.
Maximum permitted value for angular alignment:
• 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) total indicated runout at operating temperature
Maximum permitted value for parallel alignment:
• 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) total indicated runout at operating temperature
When the procedure is complete, both the angular and parallel alignment must meet the
permitted tolerances.
Grout the baseplate
Required equipment:
• Cleaners: Do not use an oil-based cleaner because the grout will not bond to it. See the
instructions provided by the grout manufacturer.
• Grout: Non-shrink grout is recommended.
1. Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout.
2. Build a dam around the foundation.
3. Thoroughly wet the foundation that will come into contact with the grout.
4. Pour grout through the grout hole into the baseplate up to the level of the dam.
When you pour the grout, remove air bubbles from it by using one of these methods:
• Puddle with a vibrator.
• Pump the grout into place.
5. Allow the grout to set.
1. Baseplate
2. Shims or wedges
3. Grout
4. Foundation
5. Sleeve
6. Dam
