shafts. Refer to the coupling manufacturer's serv
ice literature for information.
This pump is furnished with a flexible coupling. To
check alignment, use a feeler gauge or a taper
gauge between the coupling halves every 90 de
grees. The coupling is in alignment when the hubs
are the same distance apart at all points.
To check parallel adjustment, lay a straightedge
across both coupling halves at the top, bottom,
and side. The coupling is in horizontal parallel
alignment when the straightedge rests evenly on
both halves of the coupling. Use a feeler gauge be
tween the coupling and the straightedge to meas
ure the amount of misalignment.
Coupling and alignment adjustments may be
made by loosening the hold‐down bolts and shift
ing the driver and/or pump, or by shimming as re
quired.
Adjusting the alignment in one direction
may alter the alignment in another direc
tion. Check each procedure after altering
alignment.
Do not operate the pump without the
coupling guard in place over the rotat
ing parts. Exposed rotating parts can
catch clothing, fingers, or tools, causing
severe injury to personnel.
