INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Locate the pumping system in a clean, well
ventilated, and properly drained location. It is
recommended that the location selected facilitates
ease of inspection, maintenance, and service.
Outside installation requires protection from
freezing.
WARNING: Falling Objects Hazard - Heavy
Load, May Drop If Not Lifted Properly.
Do not lift the entire unit by component eyebolts.
Eyebolts on components are used for factory
assembly only and are not intended to lift the
complete package.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious personal injury, death, or property
damage.
FOUNDATION
With proper installation and a suitable foundation,
this unit is built to supply years of service.
Establish a base of concrete weighing a minimum
of 2-1/2 times the weight of the unit. (Check the
shipping tickets or the pumping system drawing for
unit weight.) Tie the concrete pad in with the
finished floor. Use the appropriate anchor bolts to
secure the pumping system to the foundation.
Pump packages with electrical conduit below
surface may require corrosion protection approved
for this condition.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrical conduit installed below the surface may
require a corrosion resistant protective coating to
prevent conduit corrosion and electrical shock.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious personal injury, death, or property
damage.
Place the unit on its concrete foundation,
supporting it with steel wedges or shims. These
wedges or shims should be put on both sides of
each anchor-bolt and midway between the bolts,
to provide a means of leveling the base.
After the pumping system has been leveled, install
the correct number of anchor bolts and tighten to
secure the system.
PUMP INSTALLATION
In most cases, if the pumps have an overall length
of less than twenty (20) feet, they are shipped
assembled. Only the motor, head shaft, strainer
basket, and discharge connection are shipped
separately. The following instructions describe
installation for assembled pump stations.
Prior to Installation
1. Measure each pump and document on the
set/start report.
2. Confirm wet well probe measurements.
Measure the distance from the bottom of
the wet well to the top of the skid to
ensure that pumps were ordered with the
correct length. Preferred length is 12
inches above the bottom of the wet well.
3. Tighten all bolts and couplings on the
pump before proceeding.
4. Install each pump according to the last
digit on the pump identification tag.

Installing Assembled Pump Station
1. To set pump, use a crane or other
adequate lifting device and a cable sling of
adequate length. Attach the cable to the
lifting lugs (lifting eyes) on either side of
the pump.
