5. Level the pump mounting pads:
NOTICE: Remove all dirt from the mounting pads in order to make sure that you achieve the
correct leveling. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or decreased performance.
a) Put one machinist's level lengthwise on one of the two pads.
b) Put the other level across the center of the two pads.
c) Level the pads by adjusting the four jackscrews in the corners.
Make sure that the machinist's level readings are as close to zero as possible, both lengthwise and
across.

necessary.
The correct level measurement is a maximum of 0.002 in./ft (0.0167 mm/m).
Install the baseplate using spring mounting
NOTICE: The spring-mounted baseplate is designed only to support piping loads from thermal
expansion. You must support the suction and discharge piping individually. Failure to do so may result in
equipment damage.
The foundation pads are not provided with the baseplate. Make sure that the foundation pads are 316
stainless-steel plates, which have a 16-20 micro-inch surface finish.
Before you start this procedure, make sure that the foundation pads are correctly installed on the
foundation/floor (see the manufacturer's instructions).
1. Put the baseplate on a support above the foundation/floor.
Make sure that there is enough space between the baseplate and the foundation/floor in order to
install the spring assemblies.
2. Install the lower part of the spring assembly:
a) Screw the lower jam nut onto the spring stud.
b) Screw the lower adjusting nut onto the spring-stud, on top of the jam nut.
c) Set the lower adjusting nut to the correct height.
The correct height depends on the required distance between the foundation/floor and the
baseplate.
d) Put a washer, a follower, a spring, and one more follower onto the lower adjusting nut.
3. Install the spring assembly on the baseplate:
a) Insert the spring assembly into the baseplate's anchorage hole from below.
b) Put a follower, a spring, another follower, and a washer onto the spring stud.
c) Fasten the spring assembly with the upper adjusting nut by hand.
4. Thread the upper jam nut onto the spring stud by hand.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all the spring assemblies.
