Installation
• Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion
when you tighten the foundation bolts.
• Sleeve-type and J-type foundation bolts are most commonly used. Both designs allow
movement for the final bolt adjustment.

1. Baseplate
2. Shims or wedges
3. Foundation

5. Dam

NOTICE:Slurry Pumps are typically driven with motors mounted overhead, coupled with V-
belts and sheaves. This configuration does not require the pump to be mounted and grouted
into place. The pump pedestal can be bolted onto a concrete foundation using J-type bolts or
Sleeve-type bolts, thru the pedestal or mounting feet.
Baseplate-mounting procedures
Prepare the baseplate for mounting
1. Remove all the attached equipment from the baseplate.
2. Clean the underside of the baseplate completely.
3. If applicable, coat the underside of the baseplate with an epoxy primer.
Use an epoxy primer only if you used an epoxy-based grout.
4. Remove the rust-proofing coat from the machined mounting pads using an appropriate
solvent.
