Equipment that is to be installed in a potentially explosive environment must be done so in
accordance with the following installation instructions.
BASEPLATE INSPECTION
1. Remove all equipment.
2. Completely clean the underside of baseplate. It is
sometimes necessary to coat the underside of the
baseplate with an epoxy primer. This may have
been purchased as an option.
3. Remove the rust preventative solution from the
machined pads with an appropriate solution.
SITE / FOUNDATION
A pump should be located near the supply of liquid
and have adequate space for operation, maintenance,
and inspection.
Baseplate mounted pumps are normally grouted on a
concrete foundation, which has been poured on a
solid footing.
The foundation must be able to absorb any vibration
and to form a permanent, rigid support for the
pumping unit. The location and size of the foundation
bolt holes are shown on the outline assembly
drawing, provided with the pump data package.
