Install the pump with motor
1. Place the pump with motor where it will be mounted, on the floor, on a raised
concrete pad or on a base, with two 0.060 in (1.5 mm) thick shims provided under
each of the four hold down bolt locations of the pump volute feet. With certain tall
motors and short pumps, one or two additional 1” (25.4 mm) thick steel shims will be
provided to go under the pump casing feet to make the volute level with the bottom
of the motor support or motor feet.
2. Then add additional shims at each of the four volute hold down bolt locations, as
required, until the volute feet are fully supported, the pump discharge flange is level,
and there is a gap under the motor saddle or motor feet. Tighten the four bolts at the
volute feet.
3. Loosen the bolts between the motor and the motor saddle, when a saddle is used,
and fill any gaps to fully support the motor by adding shims under the motor feet at
each of the motor’s four hold down bolt locations, as required, until all four hold down
hole locations of the motor saddle or motor feet contact the floor, pad, or base.
Tighten the bolting between the motor and motor saddle, when a saddle is used.
4. When mounted on a baseplate, then tighten the four hold down bolts at the corners
of the motor support or motor feet. For pumps mounted directly on the floor or
concrete pad, all four motor saddle or motor hold down bolt locations must be in
contact with the floor or pad, but hold down bolting at these locations is optional.
5. If any hold down bolt tightening results in pump movement that could induce stress in
the pump frame, stop and re-shim the pump volute, motor saddle or motor.
Level the base on a concrete foundation for pumps with base
1. Place the pump on its concrete foundation.
2. Place 1.00 in./(25.40 mm) thick steel shims or wedges on both sides of each anchor
bolt in order to support the pump .
This also provides a means of leveling the base.

Grout the baseplate
Required equipment:
• Cleaners: Do not use an oil-based cleaner because the grout will not bond to it. See
