FEATURE FAB. STEEL / ADVANTAGE BASE
(BASEPLATES PROVIDED WITH VERTICAL
LEVELING ADJUSTERS)
1. Coat the jack screws with an anti-seizing compound
to allow for easy removal after the grout has been
cured.
2. Cut round circular plates from bar stock to set the
jack screws on. The edges of the plates should
be chamfered to reduce stress concentrations.
3. Set the baseplate on the foundation and use the
four corner jack screws to raise the baseplate off
the foundation 0.75" to 1.5". The two center jack
screws should not be touching the foundation.
4. Place two machinist levels on the motor pads, one
lengthwise on a single motor pad, and another
across the ends of both motor pads (Fig. 13).
NOTE: When using a machinist level, it is
important that the surface being leveled is free
of all contaminants, such as dust, to ensure an
accurate reading.
5. Level the motor pads as close to zero as possible,
in both directions, by adjusting the four jack screws.
6. Next, turn down the center jack screws so that
they are resting on their metal discs on the
foundation.
7. Place the two levels on the pump pads, one
lengthwise on a single pump pad, and another
across the middle of both pump pads (Fig. 14).
8. Level the pump pads as close to zero as possible,
in both directions, by adjusting the jack screws.
9. Install the anchor bolts until they are hand tight.
10. Return the levels to the motor pads and check the
level measurements.
11. Adjust the jack screws and anchor bolts, if
necessary, until all level measurements are within
the design requirements of 0.002 in./ft.
12. When taking readings, center the level over the
pad being measured.
NOTE: The Baseplate Leveling Worksheet
provided may be used when taking readings.
Stilt Mounted
1. Raise or support the baseplate above the
foundation or floor.
2. Determine the desired baseplate height above the
floor, referenced to the stilt mounting flange.
