LIFTING
Any lifting equipment is to be rated for at least five (5) times the weight of the item being
lifted. Use only established methods when lifting or moving any heavy components.
ALIGNMENT OF PUMP AND MOTOR
Precise alignment is mandatory to achieve correct performance of the system. Every time a
component is moved this alignment will have to be checked. The alignment can be checked
with a straight edge and an outside caliper, taper thickness gauge, dial indicators, or for best
results, use a laser alignment tool. Use the straight edge across the outside diameters of the
coupling to ensure that the two halves are concentric and parallel. The outside calipers or the
taper thickness gauge is to correct for any angular misalignment and to verify the correct gap
between the coupling flanges. Use a laser alignment tool or dial indicators to adjust for
concentric and angular displacement. With dial indicators, rotate shafts together and take
readings every ninety (90) degrees. Make adjustments by placing shims under the driver, and
be sure that the mounting bolts are properly tightened while taking readings and after final
adjustment then install coupling guard.
ROTATION
Before the pump is started correct rotation must be confirmed. If the rotation is not correct then
follow the direction given by the driver manufacturer.
Review all safety information in the safety information section, before operating the pump.
PRE-START CHECK LIST
1) Verify that rotation is correct and that the shaft rotates freely.
2) Check all piping connections for tightness.
3) Inspect all accessories and make sure they are appropriate for your installation.
4) Verify that the driver and coupling are aligned correctly and that all guards are in place.
5) Ensure that all bearings and grease seals are lubricated.
6) Oil levels should be checked and also, maintained during pump operation.
7) Follow the instruction on all tags, labels and decals attached to the equipment.
8) Review the operations manual furnished with the power source. (Equipment driver)
