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.
