DOC No: 7046 REV G
The pump should be located with the inlet below or even with the liquid level of the
fluid supply. The pump can be mounted in any position. Ensure that there is adequate
space for operation, inspection and maintenance.
Space Requirements
Refer to the Technical Specification for overall dimensions and weights of the pumps
covered by this guide.
Location
Pumphead or adaptor cannot support the weight of the motor. Ensure
the motor is adequately supported by the foundation and/or mounting
bracket.
The foundation must be capable of supporting the combined weight of
the pump and motor and provide a rigid support.
If the pump head housing assembly and motor are supplied separately they will need
to be assembled prior to the installation. Align the housing flange so that it fits into the
matching recessed flange on the motor assembly and tighten screws evenly. Align the
pump head components with the housing flange and secure with the supplied screws.
Tighten screws evenly and in an alternating pattern. Refer to the service instruction
sheet for the specific pump model being used for proper torque values.
Assembly
Proper assembly is required to prevent magnet rub due to misalignment.
Loose pump head or adaptor bolts may cause misalignment which
may result in magnet hub rub on the magnet cup causing high surface
temperatures or weakening the pressure boundary created by the
magnet cup.
