(Figure 2). Prior to placing the template /
insert assembly down on the baseplate as
seen in Figure 2, proceed to step 5 for
filling the hole with the proper amount of
epoxy resin.

b). With the pump assembly elevated above
the baseplate, fasten the insert to the
bottom of the motor hex bolt that is
intended to mount the pump/motor
assembly down to the baseplate. Do not
fully tighten the bolt at this time as some
slip is desired so as to insure that the
insert drops slightly below the surface of
the baseplate. Proceed to step 6.
5. Dispense epoxy resin material into the
drilled hole (Figure 3) following the
instructions provided – the two-part epoxy
can be mixed together to activate in the
hole. Make certain not to overfill the hole
as excess material may spill over on to the
top surface of the insert and down into the
threads. Goulds prescribes that you fill the
hole about half-way when utilizing a
template device. Now locate the template
arrangement down over the epoxy filled
holes and allow epoxy to harden. Top off
the hole accordingly after the template has
been removed and wipe away any excess
material so as to keep the top surface
clean.

6. Dispense the epoxy resin material into the
drilled hole as seen in Figure 3. Fill the
hole only a third of the way. Lower the
pump/motor assembly (if C-Flange motor
is being used) or motor down into the
epoxy filled holes (Figure 4). Check that
all inserts are centered accordingly and
allow the epoxy to harden. After the epoxy
resin has hardened, remove the motor
assembly and top off the holes accordingly
and wipe away any excess material so as
to keep the top surface clean.
