3. Attach a small, adjustable, pipe-vise type of lifting device to a section of enclosing tube.
If such a device is not available, use a piece of light manila line, fastened to the tubing by a clove hitch
or a double-half hitch.
4. Raise up and then lower the enclosing tube over the first length of shaft attached to the bowl.
5. Apply an anti-sieze compound to the matching threads of the pump-top screw bearing and securely
tighten.
6. Install the first length of column pipe over the tube:
a) Install two eyebolts diametrically opposite each other in the upper flange of the bottom column.
b) Attach a sling to the eyebolts and to the hoist hook.
c) Hoist the column section over the bowl assembly.
d) Lower the column over the enclosing tube until the column flange engages the discharge-bowl
flange register.
e) Insert as many capscrews through both flanges as possible and gradually tighten them in
diametrically-opposite pairs.
7. Lift the entire assembly by the column pipe eyebolts and remove the supports.
8. Slowly lower the bowl and column assembly.
9. Place the supports on the foundation and continue to lower the assembly until the upper column
flange comes to rest on the supports.
10. Pour one quart of light turbine oil into the top tubing section and screw the tube bearing into the top
length until it bottoms, ready to receive the next length of tubing assembly.
11. Install the lineshaft coupling onto the projecting end of the shaft.
