Horizontal Correction (Side-to-Side)
1.
Zero indicators A and P on the left side of coupling
half Y, 90° from top dead center (9 o’clock).
2.
Rotate indicators through top dead center to the right
side, 180° from the start (3 o’clock). Observe the
needle, measure and record the reading.
3.
Make corrections as outlined previously.
4.
Recheck both vertical and horizontal readings to
ensure adjustment of one did not disturb the other.
Correct as necessary.
NOTE: With experience, the installer will understand
the interaction between angular and parallel and will
make corrections appropriately.
GROUT BASEPLATE
1.
Clean areas of baseplate that will contact grout. Do not
use oil-based cleaners because grout will not bond to it.
Refer to grout manufacturer’s instructions.
2.
Build dam around foundation. Thoroughly wet
foundation (Fig. 16).
3.
Pour grout through grout hole in baseplate, up to level of
dam. Remove air bubbles from grout as it is poured by
puddling, using a vibrator, or pumping the grout into
place. Non-shrink grout is recommended.
4.
Allow grout to set.
5.
Fill remainder of baseplate with grout. Remove air as
before (Fig. 17).
6.
Allow grout to set at least 48 hours.
7.
Tighten foundation bolts.

previously described.

ALIGNMENT TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Probable Cause
Remedy
Cannot obtain horizontal
(Side-to-Side) alignment,
angular or parallel
Driver feet bolt bound.
Loosen mixer hold down bolts and slide mixer and driver until
horizontal alignment is achieved.
Baseplate not leveled
properly, probably twisted.
Determine which corner(s) of the baseplate are high or low and
remove or add shims at the appropriate corner(s) and realign.
Cannot obtain vertical
(Top-to-Bottom) alignment,
angular or parallel
Baseplate not leveled
properly, probably bowed.
Determine if center of baseplate should be raised or lowered and
